In the video that she posted on Instagram, our beauty queen does a runway walk with fellow candidates Miss Indonesia, Ayu Maulida, and Miss Japan, Aisha Harumi Tochigi. The power trio’s video received much fanfare even earning a kudos from 2013 Binibining Pilipinas Supranational Mutya Datul.
Grabe, as expected of our queen! Marunong talaga siya makisama, forging strong friendships with fellow contestants.

In her most recent pre-pageant activity, Rabiya Mateo took the time to do some coloring in order to promote Smile Train. (Yes, we stan an artistic queen!) The organization provides free cleft treatment to communities all over the world, including the Philippines.
Mateo says in her post, “Moments like this are valuable to me because it always reminds me how a smile can transform the world. Choose to help. Choose to make this world a better place.” #Bow
Rabiya Mateo never fails to make us feel proud that she hails from our country. We’re looking forward to seeing more behind-the-scenes videos and quotable quotes from our Miss Universe Philippines.
