The newly Miss Universe Philippines organization named Rabiya Mateo as the country’s bet in the prestigious beauty pageant.
Mateo is hopeful that she can bring home the 5th Miss Universe crown to the country.
Recent winners from the Philippines include Catriona Gray (2018) and Pia Wurtzbach (2015). Other Philippine titleholders are Margie Moran (1973), and Gloria Diaz (1969).
From 2010 to 2018, the Philippines made it to the Top 10, at the very least, in Miss Universe. These were highlighted by the title wins of Wurtzbach and Gray.
It was only during the time of Gazini Ganados in 2019 when the Philippines failed to enter the Top 10. (TDT)
