#Hugot2021: Rabiya Mateo lumuha, naghirap nang bonggang-bongga bago nagtagumpay

PATULOY pa rin ang paghahanda ni 2020 Miss Universe Philippines Rabiya Mateo para sa pagrampa niya sa Miss Universe pageant.

Wala pang final date kung kailan gaganapin ang next Miss Universe pero ayaw magpakakampante ni Rabiya kaya kinakarir talaga niya ang pagte-training.

Hindi lang ang katawan ang kinukundisyon ng dalaga kundi pati ang kanyang utak para naman sa pinakamahalagang bahagi ng pageant — ang question and answer portion.

“I really need to prepare mentally, emotionally for the pageant. I am more focused now on political questions and the socioeconomic status of the country, things like that,” pahayag ni Rabiya sa isang panayam.

Sa kanyang Instagram page, sinabi ng Pinay beauty queen na looking forward siya para sa isang masaganang 2021 at bitbit ang mga life lessons na natutunan niya sa nagdaang 2020n

“2020 tested my character in different aspects of life, but the best thing that I learned is to be patient with myself, with my body, and with my dreams,” bahagi ng post ni Rabiya sa IG.

Isa pa sa mga natutunan ng dalaga sa mga nakalipas na taon ay ang pagiging humble, matiyaga at ang pagiging positibo kahit negang-nega na ang lahat sa paligid mo.

“Success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a lot of work, a bucket of tears, and a pool of sweat,” ani Rabiya.

“This 2021, I claim nothing but a positive mindset, a healthy body, and a humble heart to take on challenges and conquer adversities,” mensahe pa ng dalaga.

Nauna rito, nagbigay din ng message si Rabiya para sa sambayanang Filipino nitong nagdaang holiday season, “I know this 2020 has been a tough year for each and every one of us and personally, it opened a lot of new perspective in my point of view.

“And I am encouraging you all to appreciate the little things, to celebrate the little victories that we have, let’s continue to give back to other people.

“Because that is the essence of life, that is to love everybody. I hope that in the coming months, everything will go back to before and we will be able to appreciate things as beautiful as it is,” lahad pa ni Rabiya.
