Ailava Samuels, the 1st Runner-up of Miss Fiji 2025, will be representing Fiji at the prestigious Miss Pacific Islands Pageant in Nadi next month. This announcement was made during a press conference by the Miss Fiji Secretariat in Suva, confirming that the original winner, Peggy Ravusiro, who represented Labasa, was unable to sign a contract with the organization despite multiple attempts at negotiations. Ravusiro officially notified the organization last week, citing her inability to participate in the regional event. According to pageant rules, if the winner cannot fulfill her duties, the first runner-up takes the opportunity. Samuels has graciously accepted this offer and is now gearing up for her role as Miss Fiji at the upcoming Miss Pacific Islands Pageant.
