Reina Hispanoamericana 2022

 2022 pageant date moved to early 2023

The mounting political and civil unrest that took place in Bolivia the last quarter of 2022 has necessitated the organizers to move the original pageant date from late October to March this year.

The ALV Pageant Circle, who holds the national franchise, has lauded the organizer's concern for the safety of all the global representatives, including our delegate, Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas 2022 Maria Ingrid "Sam" Santamaria, and prays that lasting peace and the triumph of the democratic process will prevail over the conflict.

For her part, Sam sent her message of love and support to the Reina Hispanoamericana Organization and the people of Bolivia when the critical moment in their history took place.

If plans don't miscarry, Sam will fly to South America in the last week of February, or early March, in time for the pageant's pre-pageant events and activities.

This year's number of entrants has increased to 30, including new participations from Equatorial Guinea, Germany, and Italy, as well as returning entrants Cuba and Guatemala.

The 31st edition of the Reina Hispanoamericana 2022 pageant will unfold on March 25 (Mar 26 in Manila) from Sta. Cruz, Bolivia. Stay tuned!
