MANILA, Philippines – Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo accidentally fell into a swimming pool while they were being filmed for the pageant.
Rabiya and other delegates were doing a fun shoot at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida, when she fell into the waist-deep water.
On the Facebook page of Rabiya's training camp Aces & Queens, she took everything lightly and even laughed at the incident. They also shared video clips of her laughing and waving while in the pool. There were also cheers and applause in the background.
Rabiya showing off her wet pink outfit talked about the accident and admitted she feared for the diamonds she was wearing.
“A lot of things happened. First of all, I accidentally fell in the pool so I got half of my outfit wet. And then I almost lost my diamonds,” she said.
On her Instagram, Rabiya also assured fans that she was not hurt and the diamonds she borrowed were safe as well.
“I just want to let you know that the diamonds are safe. You have nothing to worry about. I just want to say thank you to Drake of Luna for letting me borrow his diamonds,” she said.
In another post, Rabiya can be seen "vibing" or dancing along with Miss India Adline Castelino prior to the incident. They were all laughing during their fun photoshoot.
