The legacy continues...
In the early 2000's the organization of LGBTQ Paniqui was called "GAY ASSOCIATION OF PANIQUI" (GAP) Headed by MamieJapan Manalo and Co Headed by Mamie Alice Saludez & Mamie Eugene Sumaoang.
Their activities gathered together with the members and officers such as socialization night, summer outings, Christmas ball and others.
Not until November 20, 2010 the GAP organization produced the birth of the 1st ever MISS GAY PANIQUI at the Paniqui Public Auditorium where in 35 gay/trans woman's of the 35 barangays of the whole town of Paniqui competed for the 1st title and crown. Aleckzie Marie Ventura of Brgy. Poblacion Sur won the 1st ever title.
Year 2012 Dada Linsao of Poblacion Norte clinched the 2nd crown, followed by the 3rd edition of the pageant in 2013 reigned by Ms.Celine Gamilla of Estacion the youngest to won the title at the age of 17. After 2 years passed the 4th crown was transferred to Ms.Rian Santiago of Brgy.Estacion was the 1st back to back title from that same Brgy.
From the busy moments of the Gay Association of Paniqui they weren't able to produced the succeeding years of Miss Gay Paniqui editions.
A strong comeback of Miss Gay Paniqui after 5 years in 2022 the pageant has rebranded and it was called Binibining Ikatlong Lahi which was organized by the new set of officer's headed by President John Erick De Guzman under Paniqui LGBTQ Community Inc which is a Security Exchange Commission Registered 2024 with over 500 LGBTQ members and the 1st NGO acknowledged by the Local Government Unit of Paniqui and District 1 of Tarlac.
Ms.Rhod Ipac of Ventenilla emerged on the top and crowned as the 5th crown keeper of Miss Gay Paniqui as Bb.Ikatlong Lahi 2022.
Since SPASYO UNO has been celebrated across District 1 of Tarlac last July 2024 a sports fest and transpageant exclusively for all the District 1 Tarlac LGBTQ members. Paniqui LGBTQ Community Inc. has rebranded once again the Miss Gay Paniqui pageant into Spasyo Uno Queen Paniqui last July 2025 and Sovereign Redd of Brgy.
