On her Instagram, the Fil-Am beauty queen uploaded photos of her adventure wearing an animal-printed sexy top, backdropping one of the beautiful sceneries in Siargao.

"Think I found my new favorite island," the caption read.

R'Bonney shared her first day on the island on her TikTok page, saying she had wanted to go to Siargao, and now she finally made it happen.

The video continued by showing where she would stay while on the island. She also went to Sunset Bridge and Cloud Nine, a popular surfing area.

R'Bonney arrived in the Philippines in April and has been attending various events, including hosting the Miss Universe Philippines pageant at the Mall of Asia Arena in May.

In January 2022, she made history as the first Filipino-American to bag the highly coveted crown at the Miss Universe 2022 pageant. While representing the USA, she expressed her pride for being a half-Filipina and thanked her Pinoy fans for their support after her win.

"Mabuhay Philippines, mabuhay Filipino fans! Maraming maraming salamat sa lahat ng tulong ninyo. The support is everything, I feel it in my heart, I heard it in the room. It was an amazing energy. The Filipino blood is so strong, we are hardworking, we are fun, and we are determined, and I am so proud to be a half-Filipina," she said at a press conference.
