MANILA, Philippines — Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo shared her reaction to the recently held Miss Universe Philippines 2025 preliminaries early this week and her expectations for the grand finals tonight.
“Naku, it’s going to be a bloodbath talaga kasi ang daming frontrunners, but at the same time, after the preliminary, marami ring underdogs na nag-shine, so let’s see na lang…” she told Philstar.com in an exclusive interview last Wednesday at the launch of PLDT and Netflix’s new collaboration.
When asked who among the 66 candidates she feels would take home the crown, she said, Gwendoline Soriano of Baguio City is her bet.
“Gusto ko ‘yung beauty ni Baguio eh. Feeling ko nag-perform s’ya talaga, plus, ang galing n’ya du’n sa preliminary interview,” Rabiya said.
Launched at The Mansion Sports Bar and Lounge in Makati City, PLDT Home Fiber Netflix Plan 1599 was introduced to media and celebrities through an event that captured the excitement behind the strengthened partnership between PLDT Home and Netflix.
Kicking off its Fiber Netflix campaign with a bang is PLDT Home’s promo offering a free trip to South Korea to one of Seoul’s newest attractions, Squid Game: The Experience. The promo is open to all new subscribers of Fiber Netflix plan 1599, 2499, and 3199. New subscribers from April 1 to May 15, 2025 get a raffle entry for a chance to win a free trip for two to South Korea, which includes round-trip airfare, hotel accommodation, travel allowance and free access to Squid Game: The Experience. Five lucky winners will be drawn on May 16.
PLDT Home also launched the Fiber Stream Arcade, a series of in-store and mall activations across the country bannering Fiber Netflix 1599. Mall-goers get to experience interactive Netflix-themed activities inspired by popular titles on the platform and win exclusive merchandise.
“At PLDT Home, we always want to go the extra mile when it comes to our customers’ experience. Our Trip to Korea Promo is our brand’s historic first, and we’re so thrilled to let some of our lucky customers truly enjoy their journey with us beyond just offering them fast and reliable internet,” said PLDT Home Acquisition Marketing First Vice President Patrick S. Tang.
“For consumers visiting our stores, we have also made their experience more entertaining with the Fiber Stream Arcade. We want to power these precious moments among families – whether they’re binging on shows after a long day at home or bonding outside,” he shared.
