In April, a beauty pageant controversy erupted with Ms Belize Rebecca Rath's parents going all out against Pageant Organizer Opal Enriquez. Enriquez had no comment at the time - though we tried all means to reach her. But, today she let off with a two thousand word press release. It says, quote, "Rebecca represented our country well and will forever be remembered as the young woman with the beautiful smile and engaging spirit who took Belize back to the world stage." She announces that she's pursuing other goals, and, quote, "We will not be holding a 2017 Miss Belize Pageant." It adds, quote, "Effective immediately, the official title of Miss Belize 2017 and all affiliated duties as the reigning Miss Belize will pass to our 2016 first runner- up, Marcia Moody of San Ignacio in the Cayo District. Marcia will represent Belize in the 2017 Miss International Pageant in Japan later this year. We would like to thank Rebecca Rath for being an outstanding beauty ambassador as our Miss Belize 2016 winner."
More on this story next week.
