A Night of Legacy, Purpose, and Empowerment

Last night, we celebrated a remarkable milestone for Hiyas ng Gitnang Silangan, honoring a successful reign and a memorable season filled with passion, dedication, and purpose.

The Gala marked the official induction of our reigning Hiyas Queens and Youth Ambassadors, the signing of ambassadorship contracts with brands who have chosen to partner with our empowered representatives, and the launch of their signature perfumes under Zoe Scents each scent carrying their own names and stories.

More than a celebration, it was a night of recognizing dreams turned into reality and a reminder that Hiyas ng Gitnang Silangan continues to be a platform that empowers, inspires, and creates opportunities for the Filipino youth in the Middle East.

Cheers to our queens, ambassadors, partners, and the growing Hiyas family.
