Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo paints Iloilo red during homecoming parade

Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo was a vision of a modern Filipina during her homecoming parade in Iloilo City today.

Donning a red Filipianna, the 24-year-old beauty queen who won the coveted title in the inaugural MUP on Oct. 25 during the pageant finals at the Baguio Country Club was all smiles when she went around the city province via a motorcade.   

In an Instagram post, Rabiya used the hashtag #PaintIloiloRed, echoing Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas' call for residents to wear the color during the homecoming festivities.  

“Mapuli na ako Iloilo (I'm going back to Iloilo)," she said in her social media post expressing her excitement to return home. (Photos from Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas)
