María Reneé Díaz was officially announced on Tuesday, July 18 as Miss International Guatemala 2023. The 24-year-old marketing student currently working as a Spanish-to-English translator will represent Guatemala at Miss International 2023 in Japan this October. A fun fact about her is that she is of Filipino descent, through her paternal grandfather, who hails from San Fernando (Pampanga), Philippines, and her mother, of course, is a proud Guatemalan. From an early age, María developed a philanthropic sense, being passionate about helping children from low-income families and promoting their education and social training. Now with great pride and commitment, she takes on the responsibility of representing Guatemala with dignity, in her quest for the second Miss International crown for her country. Guatemala first won Miss International with Ilma Urrutia in 1984. Meet the new Miss International Guatemala: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jose Martinez Cru
