Rabiya Mateo is a queen of manifestation as she poses with her first car and first house
Rabiya Mateo is not only a queen in pageantry, but she's also a queen of manifestation!
The Miss Universe Philippines 2020 titleholder delighted her fans and followers as she shared the good news that she has fulfilled her dream of having her first car and first house.
"Power of manifestation," Mateo captioned her picture that showed her posing with her red car and two-storey house in a stunning black dress.
"Three years ago this seemed to be impossible, but this is the result of countless prayers and hard work. Reminding everyone, not to be scared to dream big!" she added.
Mateo's house was the one she had bought for her mom in Iloilo in January earlier this year. Sharing the immense joy she felt from her achievement, the beauty queen said that she never imagined the day would come when they would finally have their own home.
"I'm kinda getting emotional kasi looking back then, parang it was impossible for us to get a property kasi nagre-rent lang kami and no permanent address din. Naka-ilang lipat ng bahay," Mateo said.
"Hopefully in the coming years, mas mapaganda pa namin yung bahay na to. Kaya sa mga breadwinners diyan, alam ko na mahirap, minsan nakakapagod din na maraming tao umaasa sayo, but use that fuel to strive harder. Sobrang sarap sa feeling makapag-provide sa mga taong mahal mo," she added.
Now with a new car in her possession, many of her fellow celebrities and beauty queens took the time to shower her with their heartiest congratulations, including Beatrice Luigi Gomez, Rodjun Cruz, and Kim Atienza.
After concluding her Miss Universe journey by finishing as a Top 21 semifinalist, Mateo entered the world of showbiz when she signed a contract with GMA Network in November 2021, becoming one of the artists managed by Sparkle GMA Artist Center.
She made her acting debut in the Halloween special of Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho before going on to star in Agimat ng Agila and Royal Blood.
