Miss International Queen Philippines Anne Patricia Lorenzo-Diaz is crowned as winner at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Forty-four candidates from regions across the country gathered to celebrate beauty in all its forms at the Miss International Queen Philippines 2025 competition held last July 9 at the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena. The crowned queen, Anne Patricia Lorenzo-Diaz, will represent the Philippines at the international finals in Thailand.
The pageant is recognized as one of the affiliated branches of the largest global pageant for transgender women since its inception in 2004, continuously raising awareness for the LGBTQIA+ community and the fight against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This is the first time the SM MOA Arena has hosted a transgender pageant, making it a meaningful milestone for the world-class venue.
