Rabiya Mateo Is Miss Universe Philippines – High IQ, Pretty Face, Pulchritudinous Body, Perfect Answer! And Heart Of Gold

Now then, I am 100% sure that the 
next Miss Universe proclaimed 
will come from the Philippines: 
Rabiya Mateo of Iloilo City.

High IQ – 
She is 24 years old, 5 foot 6, licensed physical therapist, and graduated cum laude (with honors) from the Iloilo Doctors Colleges[1] (Eton B Concepcion, manilastandard.net). She is Miss Iloilo 2020. Her name Rabiya means queen[2]; so she is the rare royalty with the high IQ. (above left image. with face masks[3] from Preview.ph, right image[4] from Rappler.com)

Pretty face –
Rabiya’s father is Indian, mother Ilongga (no names that I saw). Her dad left them many years ago, no reasons I can find, so I guess “Mateo” is actually the mother’s surname, for convenience. From the limited top-down view of a photo that Rabiya has shown, he looks good-looking, hence the beauteous daughter. How does a daughter grow up without a father figure? Well, Rabiya triumphed!

Pulchritudinous Body –
“Pulchritudinous” means “having great physical beauty” or “delighting the senses or exciting intellectual or emotional admiration[5]” – I did not say that! TheFreeDictionary.com did. For Rabiya, a perfect word.

Perfect Answer! –
To the question, “If you could create a new paper currency with the image of any Filipino on it, dead or alive, who would it be, and why?” she gave this perfect response (Bea Cupin, 26 October 2020, “Meet Rabiya Mateo, Miss Universe Philippines 2020[6],” Rapppler.com):

If I were given the chance, I would want to use the face of Miriam Defensor-Santiago. For those who don't know, she was an Ilongga, but what I admire about her is that she used her knowledge, her voice to serve the country, and I want to be somebody like her, somebody who puts her heart, her passion into action, and after all, she is the best President that we never had.

Heart of Gold – 
I can see now that Rabiya is going to acquire more knowledge and will use her Miss Universe voice to serve her country forever and ever – after serving the Universe 1 year, of course! She is going to be like the other distinguished Ilongga, Miriam, and put her knowledge, voice, heart and passion into action. She may even become the best Ilongga President we never had!

In fact, she has already started with the youth. Bea Cupin says (26 October 2020, “Meet Rabiya Mateo, Miss Universe Philippines 2020[7],” Rapppler.com):

During the preliminary interviews, Rabiya said the youth should “invest in (themselves),” particularly because of the noise that’s all too common both online and in real life. When you practice self-love, you get to know the right weapon in order for you to win life. I feel like right now I am ripe enough to win the competition because I've done everything that I could to become the phenomenal woman that I am," she said, without even skipping a beat.

I see Rabiya Mateo, Miss Universe Philippines, 
has 20-20 vision. She sees many things we don’t!@517

How PH’s Hybrid Rice Companies Can Increase Their Sales – But Do Farmers Have To Spray All Those Pesticides!?

Image
First, let me be clear: I am in favor of hybrid rice as a good part of the solution for the Philippines to attain rice self-sufficiency – I hope this year, 2021. I have already written about it; try “How Good Are Hybrid Rices In The Philippines [1] ?” (06 January 2021, BraveNewWorld@PH ) Today, Sunday, 10 January 2021, browsing on Facebook, I notice that the hybrid rice companies in my country are not minding their own business! I mean, they are not actively assisting the farmers taking care of their plantings. I found that out when on Facebook, I scanned the page “Usapang Hybrid Rice” (Talking Hybrid Rice), “Group by Tatang Juan” (above, top image). At this Facebook page, I read the entries and noticed that the farmers’ questions, answers and comments seemed innocent – but they were not. It has something to do with this: The hybrid rice companies in the Philippines are not providing adequate advice and information to farmers. And that is not good – it may even be dangerous. Her

“Healthy Foods Come From Healthy Farms” – Frank A Hilario

Food crops destroyed by floods, forests destroyed by fires – what other signs do you want from the Heavens Above? God! “Good comes from Good” says Webstaurant Store – only healthy farming can bring healthy fields and homes! (“Good Comes” image from webstaurantstore.com , “Whatever good” from brainyquote.com ) “Climate Change“ is forcing us to redefine “Primate Change“ and I, Agriculturist and writer engaged in what today I call “Communication for Village Development in the 21st Century” (CoViD21) in the last 42 years – now preach Regenerative Agriculture (RA) in the villages. Primates, only RA will save us from climate change! That is a CoViD21 action/reaction from my BSA Ag Edu, UP Los Baños, 1965 and continuing self-study with the advent of the Internet in PH in 1991. Wide thoughts come from wide reading. Here now is my considered definition: Regenerative Agriculture is any principle, process, procedure, or practice applied that repeatedly returns, revives, resuscitates, o

01, Less Is More – How PhilRice Can Reduce A Rice Farmer’s Total Expenses By 51%!

Image
This essay arose from several Facebook comments on my earlier essay “07, The More The Merrier – P 1B From DA Supportive Of 10 Bataan Model Farms Leading PH Agriculture [1] ” (21 February 2021, BrainScapes ). This is my comment in that essay that readers mainly commented on: I don’t know why, but 60-year old foreign-funded IRRI and 35-year-old PH-funded PhilRice have advocated neither high-value crops (HVCs) after rice nor fertigation, when these technologies are not that new. Joy Duldulao said: “ PhilRice advocates HVCs thru its Palayamanan and FutureRice programs.” Eufemio Rasco replied: “ PhilRice should not limit itself to advocacy. Advocacy is for those who don’t have the resources. Show by example how the challenge of scaling up can be done in its own farms! Mainstream Palayamanan!” Roberto Acosta said: “ Joy Duldulao, maybe it’s high time to change the success measurement matrix of PhilRice – from increasing rice yield to increasing rice farmers' income and better lives
