Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata is welcoming the return of the Miss ASCC pageant for the first time since 2019, and is congratulating the winner and all three finalists who made Saturday a success. 

The new Miss ASCC is Lolomaletaiotumua Faolui of Nu’uuli and Leone; 1st Runner Up is Glorious Tuigamala-Lisala of Leone and others; and 2nd Runner Up is Anastasia Leutele of Fagaitua.

As announced by ASCC, under the college’s leadership of Dr. Rosevonne Makaiwi-Pato, the pageant was due to the efforts of the ASCC Student Government Association (SGA), led by SGA Coordinator Ms. Falaileato Suiaunoa, with many others using their time and abilities to make a great event. The theme was Popo’ e i lau Gagana, Popona i lou Fa’asinomaga.

“Thank you to each of these talented young women for their joy and all the hard work and planning they put into this event,” said Congresswoman Amata. “They reflect well on American Samoa Community College and I know they had great support from students and educators and the community that showed up to cheer them on.

“I am happy that the pageant is back as it contributes to the traditions and opportunities at ASCC, and I know our Miss ASCC will do a wonderful job with her duties. I know these contestants made their friends and family proud, as each of their five categories was impressive, and all those taking part in the event did so well. I want to join in the chorus of people saying congratulations, especially to our Miss ASCC Lolomaletaiotumua!”
