JESSICA Fong is the 2018 Vodafone Fiji Hibiscus Queen.

The 23-year-old Suva beauty with maternal links to Tonga was crowned the Queen of the Mother of all Festivals at the final night of the festival at Valelevu in Nasinu.

“I hope these 12 contestants up here have inspire all you young women out there to take a stand, be confident and to always represent yourselves the best way possible,” Fong said in her maiden speech.

Fong, who represented the Fiji Society for the Blind sponsored by Autocare, used the festival as a platform to advocate on health and environment.

She will now represent Suva to the Miss Fiji pageant later this year.
