Mela Habijan jets off to Spain to obtain master's degree: 'Pilipinas, I will make you proud!'


Mela Habijan is off to Madrid, Spain, to fulfill another dream: get her master's degree in business.

On Instagram, the Miss Trans Global 2020 shared a photo with her parents and an airport shot with all her suitcases.

"Fly with me, Filipinas!" Mela wrote in the caption.

"As I begin this opportunity to study abroad and hopefully fulfill my vision of landing a global career, I carry with me the Filipino heart and spirit—driven, passionate, hopeful!" she added.

The beauty queen ended her post by saying that she will miss home.

"Pilipinas, I will make you proud! Mami-miss kita!" she said.

"España, Mela is ready for Madrid!" she added.

Last year, Mela took a modeling masterclass in New York under the mentorship of supermodel Coco Rocha.

In 2020, Mela was crowned the first-ever Miss Trans Global, bagging several special awards in the pageant, including Eloquent Queen of the Year, Super Model of the Year, and Glam Beauty of the Year.

Prior to her title, Mela starred in GMA shows "The Better Woman" and "Asawa Ko, Karibal Ko."

Bon voyage, Mela!
