After Miss Universe, Rabiya Mateo flies to L.A. to 'travel alone and explore'
Rabiya Mateo is off to do some “exploring” after representing the Philippines at the Miss Universe pageant in Florida, USA.
The Filipino beauty queen just posted a photo of her passport on her Instagram story, saying, “It’s time to travel alone and explore US.”
Her boarding pass showed that she was headed to to Los Angeles, California.
Shamcey Supsup, who was in Florida to personally cheer on the Philippine representative, also wished Rabiya a safe flight to L.A.
"Remember, today is just the beginning of another amazing journey," she said.
The 2020 Miss Universe crown went to Andrea Meza of Mexico.
Rabiya, who hoped to be the fifth Filipina to win the title, made a graceful exit as one of the Top 21 finalists at the pageant held in Hollywood, Florida on Monday.
Despite her loss, the beauty queen said she believes she did her best and is now excited to write a new “beautiful chapter.”
Rabiya also poured out her feelings on Instagram Live after the National Costume Competition, thanking everyone for the support and apologizing if she let anybody down. —Margaret Claire Layug/JCB, GMA News
