Myanmar’s training here in the Philippines really paid off. Hats off to May Myat Noe. She was the clear winner during the Finals.This marks the first time Myanmar has ever won an international beauty title. Myanmar beauty Queen May Myat Noe bagged Miss Asia-Pacific World 2014 Crown title that was held in Seoul, Korea on the 31st May.

Miss Asia Pacific World 2014 is the 4th edition of the Miss Asia Pacific World pageant. She also won the popularity award at the event. She actually is one of the top favorites going into the finals and defeated an all-Asian Top 7. The judge recommended that she is a Great surprise from Myanmar, Sweet and fresh looking. The remaining prizes went to Miss Korea, Miss Macau and Ms. Philippines at the Miss Asia-Pacific World 2014. Miss May Myat Noe is one of the talented star from Ain Mat Sone Yar Show and many fans love her because of her beautiful body curve and cute smile.



She was actually one of the top favorites going into the finals and defeated an all-Asian Top 7 line-up that included 1st Runner-up Kim Eea of Korea, 2nd Runner-up Hio Man Cha of Macau, 3rd Runner-up Hillarie Parungao of the Philippines, 4th Runner-up Anukriti Gusain of India, 5th Runner-up Pooja Gill of Singapore and 6th Runner-up Nisanat Mongsai of Thailand.

Miss Philippines Hillarie Parungao: 3rd Runner-Up and Grand National Costume winner.

It was an Asian domination as the rest of the Top 7 were Miss India, 4th Runner-Up; Miss Singapore, 5th Runner-Up; and Miss Thailand, 6th Runner-Up.

Completing the Top 15 from among 47 entrants were Miss Trinidad & Tobago,Miss Pakistan, Miss Czech Republic, Miss Ecuador, Miss Germany, Miss Honduras, Miss Slovakia and Miss Sri Lanka.

My opinion on this pageant:

1. Myanmar deserves the win – though I wanted Philippines to win too. but a 3rd place finish for Philippines is too low, she should’ve been first runner up instead of Korea.

2. An all Asian top 7. The pageant should change the title to exclude the word “World”. And out of 4 winners, 3 are from Asia (if you still include Korea as the original winner – then 4)

3. This pageant still has a long way to go, and after the 2011 scandal it may take longer for this pageant to recover

4. The crown is weird – why put a ribbon the crown to hold it, it’s like in Miss International – only in Miss International it works well. They should’ve used pins to hold the crown in the head.
