The 2025 Miss Asia Pacific International pageant heats up with the public encouraged to support their favorite delegates through online voting.
With the release of the official glam shots of the 43 delegates on the pageant’s social media pages, the voting for Miss Photogenic has also started, with the eventual winner taking home $500 in cash.
A like or a reaction on the photo of a delegate will earn for her a point, while a ‘meaningful comment’ will merit two points. Three points will be counted for the lady if her photo is shared publicly on Facebook or Instagram.
This comes as more delegates from other countries arrive in Cebu, where the finale of the pageant will be held. Among those who have arrived are delegates from Indonesia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Thailand, Spain and Israel.
Voting for Miss Photogenic will run until Oct. 3, at 12 noon. ‘The final results will be determined by 100% social media engagements from both platforms,’ the international pageant said.
Online voting for the ‘People’s Choice’ has also started, and the winner gets a guaranteed spot in the quarterfinals. To vote, fans may visit the SQORS platform, whose link is shared on the pageant’s social media pages.
To vote, visit the SQORS link, select the chosen delegate, choose the preferred voting package, and pay using a debit or credit card, PayPal, or QR payment.
Voting ends on Oct. 8 at 4 P.M., and the winner will be revealed in the actual coronation ceremonies on the same day. The 2025 Miss Asia Pacific International pageant will hold its final competition in Cebu.
Anita Rose Gomez is hoping to post the Philippines’ sixth victory, following Maria del Carmen Inez Zaragoza (1982), Gloria Dimayacyac (1983), Lorna Legaspi (1989), Michelle Aldana (1993), and Sharifa Areef Mohammad Omar Akeel (2018). /edv
