Lars Pacheco was crowned Miss International Queen Philippines 2023 during the coronation night held in Pasay City on Sunday, 12th March 2023. With her win, Lars has now begun her preparations to represent Philippines at Miss International Queen 2023.

If Lars manages to win the international crown this year, she will create a back-to-back win for Philippines at the pageant since the reigning Miss International Queen is Fuschia Anne Ravena. Pacheco is 29 years of age who bested 24 other delegates to win the crown.

On her truly amazing win, Lars took to her official social media as she wrote, “Patiently waited. Worked hard while waiting. Tears and sweat. What a journey it has been. Everything is worth it. I am Lars Pacheco ready to be of service not just for my community but for everybody. Miss International Queen Philippines 2023.”

Pacheco won the Miss International Queen Philippines crown on her second attempt. Last year, she only finished in the Top 10. The beauty queen said she focused all her efforts on preparing for this year's national pageant as she was determined to win the crown.

Pacheco definitely has the sincerity and dedication required to win the international crown. She is currently working on her oratory skills and grooming her personality to get a back-to-back win for her country. Before becoming Miss International Queen Philippines, Pacheco competed in Miss Q&A pageant on ‘It's Showtime’ in 2018.
