On 02nd May 2026, the first-ever TransQueen Scandinavia 2026 was held at Varmesentralen in Fornebu, Norway. The historic event brought together 9 official candidates -each representing purpose and individuality- from across Scandinavia and Europe, namely: 

Samantha
Elise 
Jessie 
Kass Tapiru 
Kendall Ebo Te Bredesen

Fiona Solis

The TransQueen Scandinavia 2026 was organised by the LGBTIQ Filipino-Norwegian Association, an inclusive organisation in Norway founded in 2014. They uphold a mission to empower, educate, and create a safe space for all whilst also celebrating the unique richness of Filipino heritage. 

This year's gala beauty pageant with a purpose was made possible by the support of sponsors, partners, and community members. Thus, it raised an impressive amount where the proceeds will continue to fund the LGBTIQ Filipino-Norwegian Association's charity and community-related work. I believe they have a mission to extend support to abandoned children and to the home for dying, destitute people in Cebu City, Philippines, as a collaboration with the Missionaries of Charity in Cebu City.

Before the night of the gala pageant, the 9 official candidates participated in the following:

intensive stage rehearsals; and

The night of the pageant was guided by Neil Nave and Edward Ainza, who thanked sponsors and partners as well as warmly welcomed the community. They also introduced the 6 members of the jury, who are mostly sponsors and who generously made the event possible.

Asunta/ Fritziemae Yee 
Cassandra Havana Serdan 
Fiona Solis 
Kass Tapiru 
Kendall Ebo Te Bredesen 

Their wit and composure were tested by stage nerves whilst they contended for the pioneering title of TransQueen Scandinavia 2026. 

TITLE HOLDER AND RUNNERS-UP 

The final tabulation was signed by the jury members, sealed in an envelope, and handed over to the hosts. The unanimously decided and proclaimed pioneering euphoric title holder with her humble runners-up are: 

TransQueen Scandinavia 2026 
Kass Tapiru 

First Runner-up 
Cassandra Havana Serdan 

Second Runner-up 
Asunta/ Fritziemae Yee 

Third Runner-up 
Kendall Ebo Te Bredesen 

Fourth Runner-up 
Fiona Solis 

For most of the candidates, the gala pageant was never a competition nor a battle where you had to prove who stood above the rest. This is because they measured success by the new trusted sisters they gained, who would bring more positivity into their lives.

MISS QUEEN PACIFIC 2019 TITLE HOLDER: MISS MEXICO- VIVIENNE MELANIE MESIAS

 by: MisS VictoriA DaviD

Miss Queen Pacific 2019 Title Holder
Miss Mexico- Vivienne Melanie Mesias

After 2 years of silence, the Casilleras Charity Organisation UK as a reborn charity reconvened its beauty pageant with a purpose entitled Miss Queen Pacific 2019. This U.K. charity organisation has been operating as a licensed society after its license approval in March 2017 by the Borough of Brent Council. It was set-up by energetic volunteers who committed to strengthening community relationships in the United Kingdom and across the oceans. The main aim of the charity is to compensate less fortunate individuals and assist vulnerable groups. This is accomplished by both organising stimulating sports activities and encouraging social events..

On the 30th of November this year, Miss Queen Pacific 2019 took place at Millennium Gloucester Hotel London in Kensington and was held in the Cromwell suite. It was well attended by the organisation’s supporters as well as admirers, friends and family members of the 8 determined candidates. Most of the colourful entrants came from across the U.K., Europe and Southeast Asia. Prior to the coronation night in November, the Casilleras Charity Organisation UK Reborn arranged a press conference on the 19th of October and also organised a talent night on the 20th of October. The press conference which was held at Grosvenor Casinos in Gloucester Road included the appearance of a few candidates. There was also a talent night which was held at FM Bar in Shepherd's Bush and showcased the flamboyant flair of the final candidates that was evaluated by a panel of judges.

During the coronation night at Millennium Gloucester Hotel London, the candidates flourished the event on stage. In each category they stupefied the audience during the group production number; the ostentatiousness of individual national costume; the prancing in titillating swimwear and the flouncing in elegant long gowns. Apart from that, there was also the ultimate final round and a complete flip side of the glamour called, the ultimate Question and Answer final. More importantly, these were assessed by high calibre members of the jury who gave fair-minded scores to each candidate in every category. Namely, Mr. John Middleton as judge #1; Alex Madia Levi as judge #2; Asam Ali as judge #3; Sumaiya Kolia as judge #4; Vicky Lee as judge #5; Dr. Vincent Wong as judge #6 and Abi Mohamed as judge #7.

On the night of the coronation of Miss Queen Pacific 2019, the audience was baffled and left in limbo as to why candidate number 7, Bianca Carreon, who represented Vietnam didn't get any placement even as a runner-up? More importantly, why the unanimously declared title holder was candidate number 1, Vivienne Melanie Mesias, who represented as Miss Mexico?

On the morning of the coronation night for Miss Queen Pacific 2019, the Casilleras Charity Organisation UK Reborn made a thoughtful alteration to the main sequence of the event. They omitted to announce the top 5 ranked candidates who would advanced into the initial Question and Answer round. These are the women who accumulated the highest scores in minor and major categories. Instead, they replaced this with all-inclusive finalists and all candidates advanced into the ultimate Question and Answer final. (source: Casilleras Charity Organisation UK Reborn)

The said alteration was suggested by the pageants' choreographer and stage director, Ronnie Del Barrio. According to the management team of the charity, they asked the candidates in the morning of the final rehearsal about the modification as well as explaining it to them comprehensively. Withal, they all agreed with the immediate alteration of the main sequence of the pageant with no manifested disapproval whatsoever. (source: Casilleras Charity Organisation UK Reborn)

During the presentation of minor and major awardees, one of the 8 candidates took home most of the awards. This was candidate number 7, Bianca Carreon, who represented Vietnam as her chosen country. This announcement of winners in each category was revealed before the ultimate Question and Answer final. As the candidates were informed beforehand that there's no longer the announcement of Top 5 ranked candidates, all candidates were automatically advanced into the ultimate final round of the pageant. Thus, it gave all candidates a fair chance to articulate their insights as what it is to become a beauty queen with a purpose.

The final round (the ultimate Question and Answer) on the night of the coronation was impartially scored and based upon the wit & intelligence as well as grace under pressure of each candidate on stage whilst delivering her answers. Thus, whoever gave the most comprehensive and eloquent answers was scored highly by the respective members of the jury. In this ultimate final round the candidates who scored highly as well as gave consistent performances in all categories were able to raise herself up and increase her chances of winning a placement or to wear the coveted crown.

When the ultimate Question and Answer final concluded, each candidate's score on this round was then combined to their accumulated scores from the 4 major categories. This was the tallied scores during the presentation of talents in October and the actual garnered scores in national costume, swimwear and long gown categories on the coronation night. It was then carefully computed by the adjudicator committee who ascertained the highest 5 ranking candidates. Thus, the final tabulation result, free from any bias, declared the deserving runners- up and the title holder of Miss Queen Pacific 2019 on the 30th of November. (source: Casilleras Charity Organisation UK Reborn)

I like the usual idea of announcing the top 5 ranked candidates who will advance into the next round. In particular, if they deserve to be one of the finalists who will then take part as head-to-head hopefuls for the crown. I also like the all-inclusive finalists as it will give the underdogs (in minor and major categories) the chance to prove their worthiness and essence as a woman of substance.

In truth, when we decide to join in a competition we cannot precisely predict the outcome as it progresses. In particular, we commonly enter and show up as hopefuls who will either end up as clappers or the sole person who will wear the coveted crown. It is worth reminding ourselves that disparaging someone out of hearsay and false beliefs because of our disappointment (and dare I say, ego) will make us slightly inhumane.

The inflated ball is round and if it is your time to be on top of each competition, the ball will accordingly stabilise and you will eventually ascend!

THE CORONATION NIGHT OF MISS QUEEN PACIFIC 2017


 (Miss Queen Pacific 2017, Miss Akiko Mae Obillo)

My train journey heading to Gloucester Road Station was velvety smooth while the weather was refreshingly delightful. Shall I say, the outside ambiance was enlightened with the spirit of Yuletide. When I was heading to the venue, I also had a pleasant walk on the plain concrete pavements while passing by commercial buildings. These were development plots that were once part of the post-war social housing developments and are now defined as “ambiguous landmark buildings”. I have to admit that the whole milieu took me back to the Victorian period and I even wished that I had worn my long flowy dress.

The ambiguous landmark buildings on the left verge of Cromwell Road accompanied me until I reached the corner of Queen's Gate. There it was the main venue of Casilleras Charity's event for a cause, Baden Powell House. A site which was originally purchased by the building committee, chaired by Sir Harold Gillet and was designed by Raplh Tubbs into a modern architectural style building. It was opened in 1961 and underwent several refurbishments over the years and to date, has been providing a modern and affordable home for the members of Scout Association. It also functions as a for hire space to host conferences and events. It is conveniently based in the attractive South Kensington and one of the most affluent areas of the U.K.

Once I had decided to attending the concluding part of Casilleras Charity's event, I contacted directly on social media the head organiser, Jewel Natividad Gagan. I politely requested a reserve admission ticket for myself to be paid in person and also, asked for a seat as near as possible to the stage. Sadly, the latter part of my request wasn't favourably approved as the first 3 front seat rows were allocated for the companions of members of the jury and their sponsors for this year. However, I was advised to arrive on time so that I could find an ideal seat location where I would be able to take pictures without annoying anyone. Yes, I was able to find a good aisle spot on their theatre seating plan by being early, but was very surprised that there was no clear reserved sign for the first 3 front row seats. That is why, numbers of ticket purchasers who were not well informed about the seating arrangements were asked to vacate and find seats somewhere at the back. Actually, only the reserved seats on the right side were properly monitored as these were supervised by a woman.


I was approximately 20 minutes early before the event to start at 18:00...

When I entered the event hall of Baden Powell House, I was greeted by its theatrically arranged chairs; the red carpet-like aisle leading up to the stage; the well set-up music booth and the on-going construction of the stage. Apart from that and as I got closer to the stage, there were spruced-up chairs & embellished tables for members of the jury and a donned table illuminated by tiaras; encased souvenirs; wrapped bottles of Casillero del Diablo wine and the intriguing headphones.
 

What do you think was the main purpose of the headphones during the entire event? Were they even utilised? Was the main intention to choose the high ranking top 5 candidates and then, they would have the final Q&A round? If it was so, the headphones should have been worn by the awaiting chosen candidates and all their previous accumulated scores were set to zero in order to determine who really had the wit & intelligence and not just the good looks.

Time was ticking and yet there was no indication that the beauty pageant for my fellow transgender women would soon to commence. Yes, they were running out of time and yet they were still beautifying more of the stage by gradually erecting a background and styling it with letters/numbers that read as MISS QUEEN PACIFIC 2017. That is why, a glimpse of the partial candidates were called upon to gather on stage for their final production number rehearsal.

The question was, where are the rest of the candidates? More importantly, where were the members of the jury, without whom could not start at 18:00? Actually, it didn't start at an agreed time as the first wiggly movements of the candidates during their production number was around 19:20. After the engaging production number, we were energised more by Miss Ela Hidalgo's belting and strapping vocal cords.


The stage was then owned by their marvellous masters of the ceremony namely, the voluble Miss Coleen Kacey; the acquiescent Mr. Elijah Paul Villanueva and the articulate Miss Vivienne Melanie Tion Mesias. The three of them detailed the sequence of the night's event and its mechanics; specified the minor, major & special awards; endorsed this year's sponsors; thanked the presence of the invited jury; acknowledged the founder & chairman of Casilleras Charity Organisation UK (CCOUK), Mr. Enly OC Gagan and addressed the honourable guest speaker, Hon. Voltaire Mauricio, First Secretary and Consul of the Philippine Embassy in London, U.K.

The limpid overhead headlights were off and the beaming DJ lights were gradually turned on toward the stage. At the same time, our attention was diverted to the back of the event hall. We saw some members of the charity and secured a passage for the candidates who ostentatiously paraded, one by one, on the aisle wearing their vibrant National Costumes and headed up to the stage for their self introduction. What a grandstand array of guises and ensembles which revealed their love for their chosen countries. The unanimously decided winner for Best in National Costume was Miss Philippines, Miss Akiko Mae Obillo!

The candidates colourful appearance wearing their intricate and cumbersome national costumes invigorated and cheered us all. After their paralleled exit on stage, we were then occupied by succeeding intermission numbers of Miss Florie May Rapirap and Miss Alexis Mendoza Chiforescu.

The entertainment numbers of the performers were sufficient enough for the candidates to take-off their chunky ensembles and change to something titillating. It was time to flaunt their innate sexiness and enhanced figure by wearing their preferred swimsuit. They appeared one by one on stage with draped cloth around their waist which was inspired by the Miss Universe 2017's Swimsuit competition. Who do you think outrivalled the rest of the candidates when they all showed-off their flat tummies, sexy booties and elongated limbs? The unanimously decided winner for Best in Swimwear was Miss Philippines, Miss Akiko Mae Obillo!

I thought they would all headed back to their cosy and roomy changing room in the basement of the building. However, my supposition was incorrect as the swimsuit round was also in conjunction with the initial Q&A portion of Miss Queen Pacific 2017. What does it entail? The main highlighted sequence of the beauty pageant was to have an initial Q&A portion which would add to the gathered minor scores of the candidates. They were then ranked and whoever would be successfully included on the top 5 will go onto the final Q&A round. If I am not mistaken and on this ultimate part of the beauty pageant, the previous accumulated scores by the top 5 would be set to zero in order to determine who really has the wit & intelligence and not just the good looks. Also, this should have been the segment in which the intriguing headphones were utilised.












Why they did not follow the proposed sequence of Miss Queen Pacific 2017? In my opinion, the long-winded questions (which were read twice for a better comprehension) for the candidates were not necessary as the initial Q&A round is traditionally brief. Generally speaking, it consumed most of the time! As a result, when the closing time of 23:00 drew closer there was a discussion between the supervising employee of Baden Powell House and the organisers of Casirellas Charity.

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has been known in London and across the U.K. as a posh and expensive place to live in. The places within its periphery aren't just accessible addresses for small and multi companies. They are also residential homes for upper class and stinkingly wealthy people. They are residents who adhere to the implemented rules & regulations put forward by the council in order to maintain a harmonious and organised neighbourhood. In connection with this, they do not tolerate any unreasonable behaviour which may harm and threaten the peacefulness. Thus, any disobedience like conducting/performing late events either indoor or outdoor has no place in the lexicon of the residents. As a result, any events which interfere and hamper in the peacefulness will be forcefully closed down as stipulated in the black & white permit. Last Saturday, 02nd of December, the first organised beauty pageant for my fellow transgender women by Casirellas Charity and in direct partnership under Starvision UK met with disasters. The adjective “successful” according to the dictionary of Cambridge means “achieving the results wanted or hoped for”. Shall I say, if you have accomplished the planned sequence of the event and fulfilled the desired aim result is when you can actually describe and use the adjective itself.

After the lengthy Q&A portion, we were then shake-up by Ambhie Da Diva's voice. Succeedingly, the stage was then paved way for the inspirational Miss Vicky Lee's speech. The co-founder and host of the oldest Trans Club, The WayOut Club, in the U.K. who has been the greatest pillar in the acknowledgement of “Transpeople” and bringing greater awareness about Transgender people to the wider LGBTQI+ community. According to Miss Vivienne Melanie Tion Mesias' agreeable introduction for Miss Vicky Lee and I quote, 'all transgender women in the U.K. know the name and integrity of our tirelessly inspirational mother!'
(The inspirational Miss Vicky Lee)

The candidates were no longer provocatively exposed when they flourished on stage elegantly wearing their floor- length gowns accentuated with glistening beads and sequins. They graced the stage in a stunningly exquisite manner with an inevitable gaffe from one of the candidates, who level-headedly recomposed her bearing on the spot. The unanimously decided classy winner for Best in Evening Gown was Miss Mexico, Miss Vee Lacsamana!

They were all gathered on stage like glimmering dolls and the announcement of the winners of minor and major awards were proclaimed:
Miss Popularity, Miss Tiana Delosata (Miss Peru)

Miss Photogenic, Miss Vee Lacsamana (Miss Mexico)

Miss Congeniality, Miss Tiana Delosata (Miss Peru)

Darling of the Crown, Miss Akiko Mae Obillo (Miss Philippines)

Best in Talent, Miss Akiko Mae Obillo (Miss Philippines)

They were then caressed by the serenading voice of Mr. Dave Hoskins who also exhilarated the lenient crowd. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with the calculations and as a reconstruction, another raffle draw was executed and random lucky winners from the audience were handed over wrapped bottles of Casillero del Diablo wine.
(Mr. Dave Hoskins and the lovely candidates)

It was getting near the closing time allotted for the Casilleras  Charity's event. That is why, we were able to witness the unhindered scenario between the organisers and the supervising employee of Baden Powell House who were having a plight. For that reason, the masters of the ceremony mentioned over the microphone the sudden alteration of the main sequence of the event of Miss Queen Pacific 2017.

Ms. Charity, Miss Nicole Williams (Miss Panama) and the people behind Casilleras Charity Organisation UK (CCOUK)
The organisers were getting more agitated and so did some of the ticket purchasers. Because of the beforehand mistakes, (which could have been prevented by starting at 18:00 and shortening the lengthy questions), there was an abrupt modification of the event. The presentation of  the special award labelled, Ms. Charity, and the declaration of Miss Queen Pacific 2017's runners-up and title holder were accelerated...

I must say that it was a wonderful transgender women beauty pageant for a cause with an ideal venue and top notch masters of the ceremony. However, last Saturday's event met with disasters which could have been avoided if the organisers and event coordinators followed firmly the time allotted. Thus, describing the entire outcome of last Saturday as successful is misinterpretation of the adjective itself and a deception.

If you think that my above raised issues are unjust and have no bearing for veracity, think of the people who commuted far- just to witness Miss Queen Pacific 2017 and only to be rushed out of the event hall at Baden Powell House. May I remind you highly that Miss Queen Pacific 2017 was under the supervision of people who have background knowledge and past experiences in the use of Baden Powell House!

MISS QUEEN ZURICH 2017

Most of the confirmed contenders flew hundreds miles to reach the largest city in Switzerland for one purpose. A city which is also known as the global centre for banking and finance as well as one of the world's leading insurers, Zurich.

The 10 invited willful candidates landed in north-central Switzerland in preparation to flaunting their physical attractiveness; revealing their awe-inspiring self esteem and to promulgate their coherent intelligence on stage. They participated in the EuroTrans beauty pageant which was affiliated with the masquerade theme event of the Starlite Charity. A EuroAsian club based in Zurich, Switzerland with a core mission of raising funds in order to subsidize and support their various yearly virtuous projects.

On the 25th of November this year, a EuroTrans beauty pageant with a benevolent mission took place in Zurich, Switzerland and held at Hilton Hotel Kloten. The 10 admirable candidates competed and were determined to vie for the coveted title of Miss Queen Zurich 2017. Succeedingly, a proud daughter of Davao City (the largest city in terms of land area in the Philippines and sonorous as the Durian capital of the country) who has been living in Vienna, Austria triumphantly engaged and defeated her fellow rivals. Factually speaking, she was a well-accomplished title holder in her town back then who was once trained to compete in many prestigious events around Davao City and its neighbouring regions.

This year's top dog for Miss Queen Zurich has been known to her family and friends as well as recognised by her followers on social media under the name of Mcay XuXu Huber. In addition to this, there were also minor awards recipients who deserved acknowledgement because of their amiable heart to fellow candidates; their effortless natural flair in front of the people; their sophisticated strut during the informal attire and great confidence in exhibiting their feminine figure on stage. Namely, Miss Amanda Roberts of the United Kingdom who received the Miss Congeniality sash for winning the affection of many candidates; Miss Charlene Monteverde of Switzerland who received the Best In Talent as per the unanimous score sheets of the jury and Miss Iwa Moto of the United Kingdom for leading in 2 categories, thus taking home the Best in Casual Wear and the Best in Bikini citations. There was also a special award sobriquet as Darling of the Crowd which was earned by Miss Charlene Monteverde. She was the guests' favourite who invigorated colourfully the formality of the entire event because of her high-spirited personality.

The ultimate part of the event was the announcement of runners-up and the winner of Miss Queen Zurich 2017 title. The unanimously declared winner didn't just solely own the stage as it was also corralled by her decorous runners-up...

Huge congratulations are warranted to the organisers on the effervescent success of its EuroTrans beauty pageant this year. More importantly, a big KUDOS to the altruistic candidates for unconditionally and continuously preserving the golden status quo at heart of the LGBTQI+ community around the world.
