Miss Hibiscus 2025 Rhyelle Aisea says the crown is not something to be treated as a prize but it comes with responsibility.

While speaking during the Vakacirisalusalu ceremony to show appreciation at the National Fire Authority Headquarters in Walu Bay, Aisea says for her, the crown means carrying more people in her heart and on her shoulders.

She says that from the moment she entered the pageant, she faced many challenges, but she held firmly to the support of the NFA, her family, and the Vanua.

NFA Chief Executive Officer Sowane Puamau says Aisea’s participation reminds the public of the importance of their work every day.

Sowane says that the NFA will continue to create awareness on safety and other key matters to ensure the public remains well-informed.
