Edited by veteran pageant observer Armin Adina, it serves as a time capsule of the organization’s rich history: from its start as a fashion extravaganza to its evolution to become a beauty institution. The coffee table book also tells the stories of some of its best known winners like one of the pageant’s first queens, Alice Crisostomo, and 1993 Miss Asia Pacific winner Michelle Aldana.

The project serves as a vehicle for the organization to look back on its history as it looks ahead to a new era. At the helm of this all is the group’s new president, Hemilyn Escudero-Tamayo.
