Miss Asia Pacific International is one of the oldest international beauty pageants, based in Manila, Philippines. It was founded in 1965 as Miss Asia and later renamed Miss Asia Pacific in 1984, followed by Miss Asia Pacific Quest in 1985 when Latin American and Pacific countries were included. In 2005, it was renamed to its current title, Miss Asia Pacific International.

The current titleholder is Janelis Leyba of the United States, who was crowned Miss Asia Pacific International 2024 on 7 October 2024 at Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay, Philippines. She is the first American to win the title, marking the comeback of the pageant.[1]

History

The pageant was established in 1965 as the Miss Asia contest. The first titleholder was Angela Filmer from Malaysia.[2][3] She was crowned by Imelda Marcos, the wife of the then President of the Philippines, on December 4, 1965. The initial edition of the contest included participants from 18 countries.[4]

The pageant's name was changed to Miss Asia Pacific in 1984 and Miss Asia Pacific Quest in 1985 when participants from the Americas and the Pacific region were included. In 2005, it was renamed Miss Asia Pacific International to allow participants from all countries. The pageant was not held in 1990 due to the Luzon earthquake, in 1991 due to the Mount Pinatubo eruption, in 2004, from 2006 to 2015, and from 2020 to 2023.[4]

In 2005, Leonora Jimenez Monge from Costa Rica was dethroned after participating in the Miss World contest. The title was then passed to the first runner-up, Yevgeniya Lapova from Russia.[5] The pageant was suspended after the 2005 edition. The pageant was then suspended after the conclusion of the 2005 edition.[6] It resumed 12 years later in 2016, with Tessa le Conge from the Netherlands winning the title.[7]

The last titleholder before the hiatus was Chaiyenne Huisman from Spain, who was crowned on October 9, 2019.[8]

Due to restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, no competitions were held from 2020 to 2023. The pageant is set to return in October 2024, as announced on February 20, 2024, with Eva Patalinjug as the new President[9] and Kristine Caballero-Aplal as General Manager.[10][11]
