Miss Naoero Eita Dabug 2026

What a night to remember! 👑✨

Huge congratulations to our newly crowned Miss Aroeni 2026, Jewel Tebouwa of the Deiboe Tribe! Jewel, your grace, pride and spirit shone so brightly on that stage, and we could not be prouder to call you our Miss Aroeni 2026. We are so incredibly excited to follow your journey over the next year as you represent our culture and home 🌺🌅

As we celebrate this new chapter, we also have to take a moment to honor our outgoing queen, Ily-J Waqa. Ily-J, thank you for being such a beautiful advocate for Deinaoero culture over the past year. You carried the crown with such dignity and warmth, and your impact will be felt for generations. You are, and always will be, a sister for life. We love you! 🥰❤️

Today was an eventful and spiritually uplifting day for Miss Naoero Eita Dabug, Rihanna Hafees and Miss Aroeni, Ily-J Waqa, who—alongside the Honourable Minister Charmaine Scotty M.P.—were warmly hosted by Senator Daisy Alik-Momotaro.

The morning began with a special church service at Assumption Catholic Church, where prayers were offered to bless the beautiful contestants of the Miss Marshall Islands Pageant as well as reigning Miss Marshall Islands, Claret ChongGum. The service was a touching moment of unity, grounding the pageant’s spirit in faith and gratitude.

In the afternoon, the Honourable Minister, Miss Naoero, Miss Aroeni, and the delegation continued the day in fellowship, joining Senator Alik-Momotaro and the contestants for an intimate dinner at her residence. The evening was filled with warm conversation, cultural exchange, and shared hopes for the pageant ahead.

A truly inspiring day celebrating beauty, grace, and Marshallese hospitality. 🇲🇭✨
