Raimundo Angulo, president of CNB, the national organization of Señorita Colombia has been accused of selling the crowns for the “rumbo a miss universo” contest this september in Medellín, here is the jist (sorry this is very rushed I am in a hurry making this thread):
*It apparently got leaked that someone very close to CNB privately said that he’s not only concerned by Raimundo Angulo’s actions of disqualifying Camila Avella (former Señorita Casanare for the main contest to be held in Cartagena in November) and Marly Velasquez (former Señorita Antioquia for the rumbo a miss universo contest to be held in Medellin in September) as he fears he’s killing this contest.
*This source claims that the winner of the “rumbo a miss universo” contest to select Colombia’s representative for Miss Universe has already been chosen and that is Señorita Atlántico, Miriam Carranza.
*The rumor states that the Miss Universe Organization requires a national pageant to be held and representatives cannot be chosen by decree which is why CNB is staging this whole event in Medellín in September.
*The Señorita Atlántico organization also apparently agreed to finance Miriam’s preparation for Miss Universe which they have done for many of their queens in the past and given the little amount of time to prepare and the fact that the main Señorita Colombia pageant in November will be held very soon after our rep to Miss Universe 2018 is crowned, the focus of the finances will be towards there, not towards sending a girl to Miss Universe.
*Miriam also allegedly comes from an extremely wealthy family which will also help w/ finances towards Miss Universe and Rai has commitments with the Atlántico organization.
*The source also claims that favorites Camila Avella & Marly Velásquez were disqualified not necessarily because of their topless photos, but because they would pose a threat to Miriam and it would look rigged if she wins over them.
*The source states that Raimundo’s goal was to keep the quality of the batch for the september pageant as low as possible so it looks like Miriam is the frontrunner, which she is one of.
*The source also states that the contestants competing in Cartagena for Señorita Colombia 2019 in November will basically be competing for secondary positions as the winner has already been predetermined there and she allegedly is Señorita Bolívar, Laura Olascuaga
*The source says that Raimundo hates investing in queens and their preparation for Miss Universe so the task is typically left to their departments (what we call regions) organization and says he likes to sell the crown to the department organization who makes him the best deal and gives him the best benefits.
*The only thing Raimundo allegedly provides to the queens is a small salary for the work they’ve done to generate income for the organization as he pretty much (not surprisingly) cares only about money.
This doesn't surprise me at all and it makes sense why some queens we sent have been very prepared when others haven't. We need to get Raimundo to quit ASAP!!!!!!!!!
