Looking stunning in her lovely evening gown,
25-year-old Rachel Peters walked the stage on a wave of cheers and applause as
her name was called in the last whirlwind moments of the Binibining Pilipinas
Grand Coronation Night on April 30.
She nailed the live Interview portion with
an articulate response that, in the hearts and minds of her fans, made her a
shoe-in for one of the crowns among the night’s Top 15 finalists.
The
Question: This week, the Philippines is hosting the
ASEAN Summit. If you were invited to speak, what would have been your message
to the leaders?
Her
answer: “I
believe that one of the biggest problems that our country faces today is
divisiveness – in politics, in religion, and also in culture. And I believe
that...is the same across the world. So that is something I want to address. I
believe that when people can learn to tolerate each other’s differences and
respect each other’s opinion,” she said before loud
cheers erupted, “then we will just be a
stronger nation, and world.”
Standing next to Miss Universe 2015 Pia
Wurtzbach, who co-hosted the Coronation, Rachel seemed every bit in the beauty
titlist’s league. That night, she became Maxine Medina’s successor, the new
Miss Universe Philippines title holder.
So who is Rachel beyond the crown?
“I
completed my International Baccalaureate at the British International School in
Phuket, Thailand, which is a high school,” she shares. After graduating, she moved
to Melbourne, Australia where she studied at La Trobe University and earned a
Bachelor of Business: Majoring in Tourism and Events.
“Since
then, I have been working in the events industry in Manila. I am currently
working as an artist liaison for our family business, which is concert
promotions. I also write for a website called Cluster. I attend and cover
events happening around Manila.”
Things she enjoys
“Ever
since living in Melbourne, the coffee capital of Australia, I’ve developed a
passion for coffee.” A lot of people can certainly relate to being a tad coffee
crazy! She also likes doing things around the house. “I’ve recently have done a
couple large home renovations, which I found I really enjoyed.”
“At
the end of last year, I found a way to combine these three things that I love
and am currently working towards opening a café on Siargao Island. ‘Bake’ is
now in its finishing stages and I can’t wait to invite you all to come and try
it!! J”
She comes from a close-knit
family
“My
parents, my younger brother and I are all very close. They are my best friends,
my biggest supporters and also my motivation to do and be good every day.” She
notes that what she was most nervous about “being so far away from my family”
when she moved from Thailand to Australia after high school.
Her experiences with Binibining Pilipinas so far
The
Binibinis have participated in activities that brought them in contact with
children from Operation Smile, Tandang Sora school kids, and even young
patients of Rizal Medical Center. They even had a day to spend with some
animals at PAWS.
What is being a Binibini to her
“I
decided to join Binibining Pilipinas as a positive learning experience to help
me grow as a woman, to learn more about myself, to make unforgettable memories
and, of course, to make friends to last a lifetime. All of which I’m thrilled
to say I have already been achieving. I’m excited for the rest of this journey
to unfold and to keep becoming a better version of myself every single day.”
Rachel
says she is aware of the prestige of being a Binibini. “The way they walk, talk
and exude confidence is something I’ve always admired and it is such an honor
to now be able to call myself a Binibini.”
And now, a Queen.
And now, a Queen.
