Kevin Roxas Balot (born November 25, 1991) is a Filipino model, actress, and beauty pageant titleholder, who was crowned Miss International Queen 2012, making her the first Filipino transgender woman to win the pageant.[1][2][3][4]

Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Balot was born to Renato and Liberty Balot. She has two sisters, Karen and Kimberly. As a child, her father, Renato, wanted her to be an engineer. This and other gendered expectations, such as criticism for wearing make-up, made it difficult for Balot to find acceptance from her family.[5][6][7]

After graduating high school, she lived on her own and entered LGBTQIA++ beauty pageants in order to finance her college studies as a nursing student.[6] She has a degree in BS nursing, and as of 2012 worked as a volunteer nurse.[8] That year she also accepted a job teaching English in Thailand.[8]

In 2012, Balot won Miss International Queen in Pattaya, Thailand.[9] Her winnings included US$13,000[9] and, if she wanted, a free gender-affirming surgery.[8] Balot went on to accept this offer.[6]

In 2018, Balot became one of Pantene's ambassadors for their #StrongerNow campaign.[5]
