Walang pagsisi ang pambato ng Pilipinas sa Miss Universe 2020 na si Rabiya Mateo kung nagkaroon man ng ilang aberya sa kanyang performance sa National Costume competition.
Ang mahalaga daw ay na-enjoy niya ang kanyang performance.
Hindi kasi nasuot ni Rabiya ang sun-inspired headpiece sa kanyang Philippine-flag-inspired national costume na gawa ng namayapang fashion designer na si Rocky Gathercole.
Post pa ni Rabiya sa kanyang Instagram ngayong araw, May 14, “Tonight was a good night. I had fun. That’s what really matters.”
