“Heavy is the crown on its head” is truly a very timely and appropriate quotation for the recent Miss Universe Philippines titleholder Rabiya Mateo as she faces the world as a representative to the prestigious beauty pageant in the name of the Philippines. Apparently, winning the title role and the crown does not only end to being a pretty face, but these “queens” will have to work for a year to fulfill their projects and advocacies to the world. Despite knowing these responsibilities, Rabiya vowed to herself on an interview with ABS-CBN that she will never leave her long-time boyfriend even though she wins the title crown.
Netizens were on the look after Rabiya wins the crown, and of course, her personal life will start to become an open book for the public eye. Her fans explored her social media accounts and found out that the beauty queen has a boyfriend. According to Rabiya, she and her boyfriend has been dating for six years, and despite knowing the responsibility of the crown, she promises him that she will never walk away from him even after winning. The two became a couple way back in their college years, and he was actually Rabiya’s first boyfriend! She states in the interview, “I can make a man stay.”
Even though the Miss Universe Philippines titleholder did not leave any clues or remarks as to who her boyfriend was, some nitpicky netizens were still able to track down his details and found out who he was. According to some sources, it was a man named Neil Salvacion, a nurse from Ilo-Ilo City. To Rabiya, she was devoted to being with him and the man was just the same. He supported Rabiya to all the pageants and pursuits she did in her life until she won the title-role.
She also added that before the fame, the popularity, and the crown, he was already there for her before everything else. She also made a video promise that she will never forsake him in exchange of the weight of the crown. According to Rabiya, “If it is true love, it will never end.”
We can recall an issue before about the same topic regarding Catriona Gray and her long-time boyfriend Clint Bondad. There was a controversy regarding the two that apparently, Catriona left Clint after a 6-year-relationship after winning the title role as Miss Universe in 2018.
