Miss International Queen Philippines 2023 to crown three titleholders
All roads lead to Aliw Theater on March 11 as Miss International Queen Philippines 2023 commences. By the end of this week, one will reign supreme – or should we say three?
That’s right, in giving more Filipinas the chance to represent the country internationally, the organization has acquired two additional franchises! Giving the candidates the boost they need to pull all the stops, the competition suddenly got more exciting.
In knowing how high the stakes are this year, here’s a little introduction about the three pageants.
Miss International Queen Philippines 2023 to crown three titleholders
Miss Trans Star International
Conceptualized in 2010, Miss Trans Star International takes place every year in Barcelona, Spain. Considered as Europe’s largest beauty pageant for transgender women, the pageant aims to increase transgender visibility in society.
In its 10-year run, the Philippines has yet to win the crown. Our country’s highest placement in the pageant was in 2018 with Maria Rivera placing as 2nd runner-up.
Miss Mardi Gras International Queen
Heading to the land down under, Miss Mardi Gras International Queen was created in 2011 in Australia. Its primary goals are to support Social Cohesion, Community Harmony, and Safe Sex within LGBTQI+ Community.
Not our first conquest to the crown, in 2021, Mariane Crisologo won the title.
Miss International Queen
And of course, the grand winner of Miss International Queen Philippines will be flying to Thailand to compete at Miss International Queen. As the biggest and most prestigious beauty pageant for transgender women, it started in 2004.
The reigning titleholder is Fuschia Anne Ravena of the Philippines. This means that her successor will vie to score a back-to-back win, hoping to earn the country’s its fourth crown.
Miss International Queen Philippines 2023 will take place at the Aliw Theater in Pasay City. Competing for the titles are Twenty-five (25) beautiful and empowering Filipinas. Tickets are still available. For questions, you can visit the official social media accounts of Miss International Queen Philippines.

As a city and a beach person—when the sun is out—expect Vee to spend hours getting lost in the concrete jungle or laying by the shoreline with both finishing the day by watching a beautiful sunset.
