Kota Kinabalu: 12 December 2025 – The 2nd Edition of King & Queen of the Pacific 2025, a premier Asia-Oceania international pageant proudly organised by Smart HDEL (Malaysia), concluded successfully at The Pacific Sutera Hotel, Kota Kinabalu, celebrating beauty, leadership, cultural unity, and the spirit of giving.
All finalists arrived in Kota Kinabalu on 8 December 2025 and participated in a six-day pageant program featuring comprehensive development, cultural, and experiential activities. These included Body Health Analysis conducted by Project C, a Public Speaking Skills Workshop by Dr. Richard Albert Gontusan, and a Public Image and Persona Care Talk. Contestants also took part in fashion showcases, cultural visits to a traditional house gallery and the traditional costume collection at Koonduan Gallery, as well as a memorable dinner cruise at Sutera Harbour, alongside various other activities designed to strengthen leadership, confidence, and cultural appreciation.
The competition welcomed participants from Malaysia (host country), Borneo Island Indonesia, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Russia, the Philippines, Portugal, and other countries, competing across Mister, Miss, and Mrs. (Lady) Editions. At the grand finale held on 12 December 2025, Nicholas Moris of Malaysia was crowned King of Pacific 2025, Bolormaa Dagva of Mongolia won the title of Queen of Pacific 2025, and Edelisa Napalcruz of Portugal was named Lady Queen of Pacific 2025, highlighting outstanding achievements by representatives of three nations.
More than a beauty competition, King & Queen of the Pacific is a platform dedicated to empowering men and women to become future leaders and influencers. Anchored by its core value, the “Heart of Giving,” the pageant promotes compassion, social responsibility, and meaningful community engagement.
Executive Committee Chairman Erle Henry emphasized that the pageant focuses beyond the crowning moment, aiming to help candidates gain broader perspectives, build international friendships, and redefine their life direction through global cultural exchange.
The King & Queen of the Pacific 2025 once again demonstrated that modern pageantry goes beyond the stage—uniting cultures, shaping leaders, and inspiring purposeful impact across communities.
Also big thanks to all the dedicated sponsors that has been supporting this event.
