Lobsang Wangyal, founder of the
Miss Tibet pageant (for Tibetan beauty queens who live in exile communities outside of Tibet) sends word that Ms. Tsering Chungtak is Miss Tibet 2006, and she is presently in Manila to
participate in the
Miss Earth pageant. In previous years, Miss Tibet's participation has been halted when Chinese pageant authorities threatened to withdraw support if her title was not changed to "Miss Tibet China." Tibet was taken over by the PRC in the late 1950s.
