THE Miss Pacific Islands Pageant 2017, with the theme Climate Action to Sustain Our Islands, came to its conclusion on Saturday at Prince Charles Park, Nadi on a very high note.

Amidst electrifying euphoric atmosphere, Miss American Samoa was declared Miss Pacific Islands 2017. She had amassed other smaller prizes before being given the most coveted prize of all, the Miss Pacific Islands crown.


Former Miss Pacific Islands Anne Dunn placed the crown on the new Miss Pacific Islands' head and there was so much warmth and affection between the two and the other contestants, teary eyed and looking jubilant, congratulated Miss American Samoa with hugs and kisses.


It was such a beautiful moment to see the camaraderie of the Pacific beauties on the stage.


They all stood together to showcase the Pacific power on climate change for the survival of their respective island nations.


The week's activities brought to the forefront raw aspects of the Pacific cultures and traditions. Pacific music, art and craft, head gear, traditional dresses, body decorations and their diverse appearances.


All these made from rich Pacific communities who are vulnerable to the rising ocean levels and the devastating effects of these on their homelands. Thus these beauty contestants wanted the world to hear their concerns and act.


I have no doubt that the Miss Pacific Pageant 2017 was a rewarding experience for the contestants and the organisers. This empowered women who will play a vital role in future for their respective countries.


I wish Miss American Samoa every success during her reign as the Pacific ambassador.


I am sure she has the beauty, intellectual capacity, command of language and the experience to do just that.
