THE seven contestants vying for the Miss Pacific Islands 2026 crown have officially gathered for the weeklong event that will begin this Wednesday in Nadi.
For their first official engagement, the queens attended a dedication church service at the Platinum Events Centre where Miss Fiji Ailava Samuels reminded her fellow contestants of the task ahead.
“My advice is to always trust in God’s plans in every situation that we go through,” said Ms Samuels.
“Because at the end of the tunnel there is always light.”
