Filipino community in Leeds is beaming with pride once again as we send the radiant Ms. Joeace Ang-Siao to compete in the prestigious Asian Global UK pageant, representing our vibrant region in 2025. This moment is not just a celebration of elegance and achievement, but a continuation of a tradition steeped in cultural pride and community spirit.
Last 2023, Ms. Gigie Fletcher proudly represented Filipino in Yorkshire at the same pageant, inspiring many with her grace and authenticity. Her legacy now paves the way for Ms. Ang-Siao’s journey, showing that Yorkshire women—rooted in rich heritage and armed with determination—can dazzle on any stage.
To celebrate this milestone, you are warmly invited to a casual send-off gathering:
📍 Neolife Health System (Saladmaster) Office, Unit 5C-D, Curtis House Business Centre, Berking Avenue, Leeds LS9 9LF
🗓 16 July 2025
🕔 5:00 PM
Expect good vibes, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and music that brings people together—because every great journey deserves a great beginning.
Beauty pageants are more than glam and gowns in the Filipino community—they’re a deeply-rooted cultural phenomenon. Ever since Gloria Diaz claimed the Philippines’ first Miss Universe crown in 1969, pageantry has become a cherished institution, showcasing not only physical beauty but also intelligence, advocacy, and strength.
This celebration is brought to life through the support of organisations that share a commitment to empowerment and unity: Neolife Health System, the Yorkshire Filipino Group, and Creative Hearts United.
Together, they continue to uplift Filipino voices in the UK and stand proudly behind the vision of Mrs. Aireen Gauntlett, founder of Asian Global UK, whose passion and leadership have made moments like this possible.
Let’s rally behind Ms. Ang-Siao as she embarks on her journey. With Yorkshire’s full support and the power of the community behind her, the crown is already within reach.
