It’s Miss Universe week! The contestants are in Florida for the highly-awaited competition and while the beauty queens are busy with their many scheduled activities, Miss Universe Philippines Rabiya Mateo took an unexpected dip in the pool—right in the middle of a photoshoot!
Aces and Queens, the modeling agency representing the beauty queen, posted a video clip of Mateo recalling her little pool mishap. She sheepishly grins at the camera while saying, “A lot of things happened. First of all, I accidentally fell in the pool, so I got half of my outfit wet. And then I almost lost my diamonds!”
In another clip, nakalubog si madam in the pool hanggang sa waist. Fortunately, our queen had quick reflexes and managed to protect her bag from getting wet. Yes, pinauso muli ni Rabiya Mateo ang wet look. Ito na siguro ang ka-tandem ng sea goddess look niya.

The Miss Universe Philippines representative can also be seen laughing off the little accident, while other contestants can be heard in the background cheering her to keep working the camera. They share supportive words like, “Do you need help?” and “Go all the way in—jump in the pool!”
We are feeling the love from fellow candidates and hope to see more behind-the-scenes adventures like their recent rampa.
