PH bet is crowned Miss International Queen 2022

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 26) — Philippine bet Fuschia Anne Ravena made the Pride Month extra special for Filipinos after she was crowned Miss International Queen 2022 in Thailand on Saturday.

Ravena bested 22 other candidates in the pageant for transgenders. Colombia’s Jasmine Jimenez was first runner-up, while France’s Aela Chanel placed second runner-up.

In the final round of the competition, the finalists were asked how they would teach equality if they won the title.

"I will start it by influencing other people to spread love, peace and unity to have world equality because after all we all live under one sky, and we breathe the same air, and we all live from differences where love is universal,” Ravena said.

She is the third Filipina to win the pageant after Kevin Balot in 2012 and Trixie Maristela in 2015.
