Back in 2013, Ria Rabajante made quite a splash when she took part in Bb. Pilipinas Gold. Tongues were wagging as to where this knockout dusky beauty came from and who was backing her up. Well, her trainers never changed. She is still the same R-L Angel pinned as Binibini 1 before. But just like the number she is wearing right now, the girl is 3x the sophisticated fierceness and 3x more prepared for the demands of the nationals. In fact, she took more than a year and a half before finally making the decision to enlist in Bb. Pilipinas 2015. Last year, she busied herself with work at Captured Dream Productions for the inaugural edition of Miss Teen Earth and Little Miss Earth Philippines where she did PR as well as being the big sister of all the young candidates.
But enough of that, for now. Ria is dead-set on performing better and stronger. And if she comes on as less daring in styling now, it could be due to a game plan to turn into a more timeless Filipina maiden who has what it takes to exude a favorable appeal in the global pageant circuit.
Could this be her year to fulfill the dream of winning a crown? Possibly. No, make that very possibly. ;-)
