It’s coming. And it’s gonna be BIG.

The first-ever country franchise for the Philippines of Miss International Queen Pageant is already here.

Miss International Queen Philippines!

For the very first time and with the blessings of the pageant headquarters in Thailand, the country will proclaim an official representative for the annual international competition in Pattaya, hailed as the biggest pageant for transgender women around the world.

In the Press Conference held at AQUILA Crystal Palace Tagaytay Events Place, CEO/National Director Michelle Montecarlo is determined to bring back the crown last held in 2012 and 2015 by Kevin Balot and Trixie Maristela, respectively. Along with the respectable members of the Executive Committee that includes Honorary Adviser/Producer Jing Lumaban, Talent Development & Image Branding Head Andrea Justine Aliman and Creative Director Roderic Dela Cruz, Michelle will endeavor to stage a big inaugural national pageant that is scheduled to have its Pre-Pageant on November 18 and Finals Night on November 28.

#MissInternationalQueenPhilippines2021 will receive P300,000.00 in cash prize, P500,000.00 in gift packages, plus the MIQP crown designed by God diamonds and round-trip tickets to Bangkok. The First Runner-Up will get P100,000.00 in cash plus the same amount in gift packages, while the Second Runner-Up will be awarded with a P50,000.00 cash prize plus the same amount in gift packages.

To date, 224 applications have already been received. And by the looks of it, the number will increase even more before the deadline set for August 31. By the first half of September, only twenty-five (25) Official Candidates will be announced. They will vie to become the first titleholder of the organization.

The Coronation Night – barring any extended restrictions by the government and IATF – will be held LIVE at a surprise venue which will be announced in the coming weeks.

Watch out for more juicy details about the pageant soon. The theme for this edition – in keeping with the thrust of the Thailand-based organization – is #WorldEquality.

  1. Congratulations to the franchise holder. I wish them luck on their first ever staging of MIQP

  2. If each country has a similar one , like in the USA and Canada , the support that they will get from their respective trans community will be enormous … there will be no more controversy I hope, natural born women compete in their own pageant and trans women compete in their own pageant … Miss International Queen can rival Miss International itself ,… or even Miss World or Miss U

    • Now, that’s uncalled for.
      KD doesn’t deserve that below the belt bashing.
      Show some respect. To yourself.

  4. This is the pageant for trans women. Dito sila dapat sumali, huwag sa MU.

      • @ Beo Luigi is biologically/from birth female.

        (I think the one @ miss tissa is referring to… Well, didn’t join MUP anyway. So, let’s see now.)

  5. Would be interesting to see if biologically born women will be allowed to join this pageant.

    I know it’s for TRANSGENDERED women, but didn’t they advocate for inclusivity and equal rights hence Miss Universe, and some other pageants allowed their participation?

    So now, it’s “payback” time, for biologically born women to join and participate in this pageant,
    for “inclusivity” and “equal rights”.

  6. Had 2008 and 2017 happened, this would have made the pageant 17 years in the running. Or, was it because of scheduling issues?

    Host has most wins with 4. Mexico and Philippines have 2 each.

    From 200+ applicants, 25 ang matitira in one go? Wala na’ng Poll ‘yun, Boss Norman? LUPIT. 😦

    PLEASE FEATURE THEM IN PN’S. My question to them is, what did you learn very early on in life that remains true to this day? 🙂

      • @ Norman Good Sat, po.

        Another question I hope you could ask them is… What is femininity?

        (This is not intended to ape MU1994’s ‘essence of woman’. Let’s see how far their minds can go!)

      • @ Sjeffie Cheon The Poll is not entirely worthless. Even once, BUT ONLY ONCE.

        It gives fans a chance to be part of the experience. And could help dispel judges’ bias/skew, if any.

        It has already been done quite a lot, anyway. The NatCos. 🙂
