Ibajay, Aklan- The coronation night of Queen of Ibajay 2025 was successfully held, featuring six candidates who competed not only in beauty and talent, but also in presenting their advocacies for HIV awareness in line with the observance of World AIDS Day this December.
At the end of the competition, JV Tumaca emerged as the overall winner, showcasing confidence, intelligence, and a strong commitment to promoting health programs and proper education about HIV.
Colleen Faith Sanchez earned the title of 1st Runner-Up, while BJ Javellana was named 2nd Runner-Up, both of whom also delivered noteworthy messages focused on ending stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV.
It was a meaningful evening for the candidates and the entire community of Ibajay, proving once again that pageants like this go beyond prestigeโthey help spread important messages that inspire change in lives and perspectives.
Congratulations to all the winners, and to the newly crowned Queen of Ibajay 2025, JV Tumaca!
