The father of a young patient at Vaiola hospital has thanked two Miss Heilala beauty contestants from New Zealand for visiting his son.
Miss Tuitui Fashion 2018, Cecilia Viliamu and Miss Brilliant star, Nāomi Fotofili visited Peletisasa Mo’ungaloa while he was recovering from an illness in hosital.
His father Agustine Mo’ungaloa told Kaniva News he was thankful the two contestants have visited the patients.
Tuitui Fashion owner Tuitui Folauhola Tonobor said the visit was part of a mission for her two contestants while they were in Tonga to join the Miss Heilala beauty pageant 2018.
Last year two beauty contestants from New Zealand took the top prizes after reigning Miss Heilala Ophelia Kitiliti Kava was crowned Miss Heilala 2017.
The first runner up was Miss Tuitui Fashion, Titania Tiara Matekuolava while the third runner up was awarded to Miss SAS US Store, Linga Tamo’ua.
Sixteen contestants have been registered to compete for the Miss Heilala 2018 crown.
They made their first public appearance on June 27, at Tanoa International Dateline Hotel in Nuku’alofa.
