Reigning winner Tessa Le Conge of the Netherlands
Starting November 10, the beautiful delegates who are set to vie for Miss Asia-Pacific International 2017 will start arriving in our shores to join Mutya ng Pilipinas Asia-Pacific International 2017 Ilene de Vera with hopes of succeeding the reigning titleholder Tessa Le Conge of the Netherlands.
Over fifty (50) candidates will spend close to three (3) weeks for pre-pageant activities (in both Manila and Palawan) leading to the finals scheduled at the Newport Performing Arts Theatre of Resorts World Manila on November 29.
Here’s the official PR release from the organizers:
After a decade of hiatus, the mother of all beauty pageants in Southeast Asia is back. Last year, the official re-launching of the pageant took place in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, specifically at the renowned Sheridan Beach Resort and Spa. 22-year old stunner, Tessa Helena Le Conge from the Netherlands is the current titleholder. She bested the other international contenders with her overwhelming charm, wit and positivity. “I think nowadays it’s sad to see so much negativity in the world, because you see people don’t really respect each other. I would like to show people what you can do with a good light in your heart,” she quipped with her dazzling smile. She was joined by Chawanya Thanomwong of Thailand (1st runner up), RP’s Ganiel Akrisha Krishnan (2nd runner-up), Felicia George of Cook Islands (3rd runner up), Soyeon Kim of South Korea (4th runner-up).Some of the candidates who will compete for Miss Asia Pacific International 2017

Senator Grace Poe nung kanyang kabataan. 🙂
Just drop the “international” and “Pacific” and stick with Miss Asia. Sampu-sampera na ang international pageants. This could add distinction to the title.
if it’s just Miss Asia…then why do they have candidates coming from other continents? I think that the Pacific International is added to the title to connote that there are candidates coming from the pacific region
Meron ng Miss Asia Pageant. Indian ang organizer.
Nanalo na nga Philippines sa Miss Asia last year yata yun.
Miss Asia Pacific na lang sana. Wala ng International.
May I suggest to the organizers that in addition to cultural understanding and the appreciation of diversity (so MI..), they adopt the advocacy of poverty reduction and more vigorous exchange of goods, services, and ideas in what is arguably the planet’s LARGEST trade arena at present. Thus it shall include any and all countries interested in taking part in all this activity, regardless of whether they actually are on the Asia-Pacific Rim. It will also be a good way to check if the candidates understand what they got themselves into. 🙂
And for its logo, to include an image of the Manila-Acapulco Galleon.
