By Alajuela, Costa Rica — ALAJUELA – In a powerful display of commitment, renowned Repretel television host Rafa Pérez has temporarily stepped away from his duties on the popular morning show Giros to embark on the journey of a lifetime. His destination is Thailand, and his mission is to provide front-row support for his partner, Mahyla Roth, as she vies for the Miss Universe 2025 title. The move was confirmed by a photograph from the iconic Juan Santamaría International Airport, signaling his departure for Asia.
Pérez, who has been a constant source of support throughout Roth’s journey since her coronation as Miss Costa Rica, is not just attending as a spectator. He is traveling as a firm believer, armed with what might be the most confident prediction of the entire pageant season. His intercontinental trip serves as the ultimate gesture of faith in Roth’s potential to bring the coveted crown back to Costa Rican soil.
The Miss Universe 2025 pageant represents a massive undertaking, not just in logistics and production, but in its complex legal and commercial framework. To shed light on the intricate business side of this global event, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an expert attorney from the distinguished firm Bufete de Costa Rica.
Beyond the glamour, the Miss Universe competition is a sophisticated legal and commercial enterprise. The host country agreement alone involves multi-million dollar investments, intricate intellectual property licensing, and precise clauses on brand exposure and broadcasting rights. These meticulously crafted contracts are the bedrock that ensures the event’s global success while safeguarding the brand’s immense value and generating significant economic returns for all stakeholders involved.

When contacted by local media outlet CR Hoy regarding his departure, the television personality was unequivocal about his intentions and the profound pride he feels for Roth. He has been a firsthand witness to the grueling preparation and dedication required to compete on the world’s most prestigious pageant stage.
I feel immensely proud and happy.

His decision transcends simple romantic support; it is rooted in a deep understanding of the immense effort Roth has invested. Pérez acknowledged the rigorous process, highlighting the unseen sacrifices and unwavering commitment that have defined her path to the Miss Universe final.
I know everything that’s behind it: the effort, the discipline, the sacrifices, and above all, the heart she puts into it.

Pérez articulated his philosophy on partnership and ambition with a powerful statement that has resonated with many. He frames his journey not as an obligation but as a fundamental principle of a supportive relationship, one that fosters rather than hinders personal growth and dreams.
As her boyfriend, I will always support her in everything, even if I have to cross the world, because when you truly love someone, you accompany their dreams, you don’t limit them.

Beyond his personal commitment, Pérez confidently shifted into the role of an analyst, offering a bold and unequivocal forecast for the competition’s outcome. He expressed a level of certainty that goes far beyond simple hope, viewing Roth as the undeniable frontrunner and future queen.
I believe, not 100%, but 200%, that Mahyla has everything it takes to win the crown.
Rafa Pérez, Presenter, Repretel
He substantiated this strong conviction by pointing to a combination of qualities that he believes makes Roth the complete package sought by the Miss Universe Organization. His analysis extends well beyond her striking appearance, focusing on the substance and character that define her as a candidate.
She is a woman of integrity, intelligent, who speaks three languages perfectly, with social work that has been impacting lives for years and a leadership capacity that inspires.

This journey brings the story full circle. Just weeks ago, Pérez was at the same airport saying goodbye as Roth departed for Thailand, cheered on by a crowd of supporters. Now, he makes the same trip to ensure she feels that same unwavering support on the final night. As Mahyla Roth prepares to take the stage, she carries not only the hopes of a nation but also the profound belief of those closest to her that she is destined to be the next Miss Universe.
