MANILA – Rabiya Mateo from Iloilo City on Sunday was named the winner of the inaugural Miss Universe Philippines pageant held at the Baguio Country Club.The following were named her runners-up.
As the first-ever Miss Universe Philippines titlist under the new pageant organization, Mateo received the just-unveiled “Filipina” crown from Gazini Ganados.During the question and answer portion of the competition, Mateo was asked whose image of any Filipino does she want to be on a new paper currency if she is given the chance to create one.
“If I were given the chance, I want to use the face of Miriam Defensor Santiago. For those who don’t know, she was an Ilongga. But what I admired about her is that she used her knowledge, her voice to serve the country. I want to be somebody like her, somebody who puts her heart, her passion into action. After all, she is the best President that we never had,” she said.
Under the Araneta group, the country produced four Miss Universe winners — Gloria Diaz in 1969, Margarita Moran in 1973, Pia Wurtzbach in 2015, and Catriona Gray in 2018 — nine runners-up, and 10 top 20 finishes. Shamcey Supsup, a former Bb. Pilipinas titleholder and Miss Universe candidate, leads the new Miss Universe Philippines organization as national director.
Congratulations miss universe iloilo.

Kudos!🥳
Ito na po siya, the best president that we never had.
TVPatrol There are two women who deserve to replace Ninoy and Cory on our 500 pesos currency. Rosa Rosal and Miriam Santiago.
I have a vague memory of Miriam speaking to the crowds of EDSA tres. Hmmm...
Kaya naman pala
Maganda ung ayos niya sa prelim intvw.
Si bong bong marcos ang running mate ni miriam defensor santiago. Ok na sana si miriam noon pero biglang pumangit nang kinuha nya si bong bong marcos as running mate
I prefer Gabriela Silang, Tandang Sora, or Teresa Magbanua than senmiriam.
