Beauty and brains are requisites to join these beauty contests, and no doubt she has loads of both. But behind that infectious smile and rockin' body, who is Maxine Medina, really? 

We dig into her Instagram account (@maxine_medina) to get to know her better.

Apparently, she's a beach bum

Those are just three of her 1,150 sun-kissed IG photos. Although the seaside isn't the only place Maxine frequents

In between those long-distance travels are occasional trips to the gym...

...and the catwalk

Her credentials as interior designer are not to be looked down upon.

If you still haven't noticed, Maxine has that uncanny Lovi Poe angle.

Lastly, she may be the perfect girlfriend. Just ask model-slash-gentleman-peg, Marx Topacio.
