Asia Rose Simpson (born 2007 or 2008) is a Filipino beauty pageant titleholder and dancer who won Miss World Philippines 2026. Winning the title at age 18, she is the youngest entrant to win the pageant. She will represent the Philippines at Miss World 2026.
Simpson previously participated in the fifth season of Pilipinas Got Talent (2016) as part of her family's acrobatics act. In 2023, she was crowned Miss New Mexico Teen USA, which allowed her to compete in Miss Teen USA 2023, where she won Miss Congeniality.
Early life and career
Simpson was born in 2007 or 2008 in Hobbs, New Mexico, United States, to a family of dancers and Christian missionaries.[1][2][3] Her father is Joseph Simpson, who is Filipino, and her mother is Brittany Banks, who is American.[3] As missionaries, her family traveled frequently early in her life.[1] She arrived in the Philippines at six months old in Roxas City, Capiz, where she would be raised.[4] Her family would later settle in Manila and then Quezon City.[1]
Simpson was homeschooled.[5] At the age of three, her father began to teach her how to dance.[2] In 2016, she appeared on the fifth season of Pilipinas Got Talent with her father and siblings as part of the acrobatics act The Simpson Tribe, which qualified for the judges' cull but did not advance further.[6] Her family founded the SED initiative, which aims to achieve mental wellness through sports and dance. As of 2026, their program has reached 7,000 individuals.[7]
Pageantry
Miss Teen USA 2023
Representing her native Hobbs, Simpson won Miss New Mexico Teen USA 2023, allowing her to compete at Miss Teen USA 2023.[8] At the national pageant, she won the Miss Congeniality award but did not advance to the semifinals. The winner was UmaSofia Srivastava of New Jersey, who later resigned.[2][9]
Miss World Philippines 2026
On April 6, 2025, Simpson won the local Quezon City pageant for Miss World Philippines 2026, allowing her to represent the locality at the national contest.[10] Competing at age 18, she was the youngest entrant for that edition.[1][11] Leading up to the competition, Simpson became a semi-finalist for seven of the ten fast-track challenges and won two—Beauty With a Purpose and Miss Talent—which allowed her to advance to the finals.[3]
At the finals night, she was named Best in Swimsuit, together with Valerie West of Ifugao.[12] She progressed to the final question-and-answer round where she was asked if social media has either helped or hurt society. In her answer, she highlighted mental health and cited data from the World Health Organization about the rise in sedentary behavior among youth in explaining the importance of her initiative. She acknowledged the benefits of social media and ended her answer by calling for its responsible use.[13]
At the end of the event, she was announced as the winner, being crowned by her predecessor, Krishnah Gravidez of Baguio, becoming the youngest titleholder in the pageant's history.[14]
Miss World 2026
Simpson is representing the Philippines at Miss World 2026.[4] Her Beauty With a Purpose presentation for the competition advocates for physical activity as a means of improving "physical, mental, and emotional health" and connecting with others.[15] Meanwhile, her entry for the talent competition is a dance number titled "Succor", which narrates a story about mental health.[16]
In the fast-track challenges for the competition in progress as of August 27, 2026, she is a finalist for four segments: sports, head-to-head, top model, and talent.[17][18][19] She advanced to the top 40 after being named as the continental winner for Asia and Oceania in the head-to-head challenge.[20] She also finished third in the talent portion.[21]
