                    [Summary] => Isa lamang international beauty contest ang maaangkin natin na tunay na ang ating bansa ang lumikha–ang Miss Asia Pacific Quest.


Noong unang ginawa ito sa ating bansa, mga late ’60s ay Miss Asia pa lamang ang tawag. Dati kasi ay mayroong "Queen of the Pacific" search na sa Australia naman ginagawa. Hindi nagtagal ang nasabing timpalak kaya’t okey lamang na tawagin ng Miss Asia Pacific Quest ang beauty pageant na ang pasimuno ay ang mga organizers din ng Mutya ng Pilipinas.

Noong unang ginawa ito sa ating bansa, mga late ’60s ay Miss Asia pa lamang ang tawag. Dati kasi ay mayroong "Queen of the Pacific" search na sa Australia naman ginagawa. Hindi nagtagal ang nasabing timpalak kaya’t okey lamang na tawagin ng Miss Asia Pacific Quest ang beauty pageant na ang pasimuno ay ang mga organizers din ng Mutya ng Pilipinas.
