Beauty queen-turned-actress-TV host Rabiya Mateo recently showed her wit handling controversy.
Just recently, she uploaded a video of herself on TikTok.
There she used a "Best Part of Your Face" filter, highlighting her nose.
After making faces, Rabiya went on to lift the tip of her nose.
"Totoo ang chismis hahahaha#fyp #foryoupage #nose," the video caption read.
Recall that following her Miss Universe Philippines win in 2020, Rabiya was rumored to have had rhinoplasty.
It didn't help that an old photo taken from her high school yearbook went viral around that time as well.
Rabiya reshared the photo on Instagram.
She wrote: "This is me 11 years ago. I still didn't have my braces. I don't (know) how to put make up. I'm not aware of what angle flatters me most but that is still me."
"A lot of things happened in that period of time. I grew up and became more mature. I was able to invest in myself and practice self-love," she added.
According to the Kapuso star, if there would be one thing that she wants other people to know about her is that she's beautiful then and now.
"The only thing difference is now, I know better," she said.
"PS, stop calling anyone ugly. If that's how you see things and maybe then it's your soul that needs a surgery."
