Dia Mate of the Philippines is Reina Hispanoamericana 2025!
Dia reigned victorious during the pageant’s coronation night held in Bolivia on Monday (Philippine time).
For the finals, the Philippine bet flexed her winning glow in a sultry gold gown designed by Rian Fernandez.
During the Q&A portion, Dia was asked: “What values do you think are the most important to our society, and why do you think this is important?”
She answered: “I think the most important value that we should have is kindness. In my experience here in Bolivia, Latinas have shown me so much kindness and so much love even though racially I am not Latino.”
“And the most beautiful thing I've noticed is that even though we don't speak the same language, we share the same culture, same heart, and same faith in God, and I hope this shows everybody that if we use kindness we can show that we are all the same and can create a better world and a better society for us all.”
Aside from the major crown, Dia also took home the Best in National Costume award. She donned an Ehrran Montoya dress inspired by the Baroque Churches of the Philippines.
The beauty queen from Cavite took home the country’s second Reina Hispanoamericana crown after Winwyn Marquez won the title in 2017. —AOL, GMA Integrated News
