Salguero celebrated her victory with her family members and friends and shared her feelings and emotions about the pageant. “I want to see a change and I am definitely looking forward to helping out,” she said. Iris is not new to the world of beauty pageants and has previously won the Top Model and Miss Eloquent pageants.

Iris said that her experience in beauty pageants has made her confident for the upcoming Miss World pageant. “I am very thankful for the girls that competed in the pageant. I am so happy to find out that they have the same mind-set as I do, which is to give back to the community,” said Salguero. “Between now and then I will be training very hard, getting my costumes, and practicing on my introductions and different presentations that I will be displaying at the event,” she continued.

Since 1987, Belize has been participating in Miss World pageant but hasn’t had any luck with the title. The journey at this year’s Miss World pageant is going to be tough, as many stunners are competing this year for the title.
