<p>MANILA  — Despite her jam-packed schedule during her Manila visit, the reigning Miss International from Venezuela Andrea Rubio spent some time with the Filipino press on Friday.</p><p>In an interview with ABS-CBN News and selected media, the Venezuelan beauty couldn&#x27;t hide her happiness from the love and support of the Filipino pageant fans which she found similar to her home country in Venezuela.</p><p>&quot;Yes, I see that is something that we have in common. In Venezuela, we love beauty pageants,&quot; Rubio said.</p><p>During her stay in Manila, the reigning Miss International met the 40 candidates of this year&#x27;s Binibining Pilipinas which she described as a strong batch of beauties.</p><p>Aside from meeting this year&#x27;s Binibining Pilipinas delegates, Rubio also had the chance to bond with children from World Vision Philippines. She had a storytelling session with the kids and enjoyed rides with them at Araneta City&#x27;s Fiesta Carnival.</p><p>Talking about her experience, Rubio described it as a &quot;valuable opportunity&quot; to know more about the culture of the Philippines.</p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s everything. I think it&#x27;s the most valuable thing about this experience that you have the opportunity to travel and you have the opportunity to meet important people and people from all over the world.&quot; </p><p>She added: &quot;That&#x27;s the most valuable thing that you take home, those experiences as I went there like I found out that Filipino&#x27;s say &#x27;Guwapo&#x27;. I found out all this and we have so much in common and that&#x27;s valuable because not everyone can afford that. Not everyone has the opportunity to wear Filipiniana and to have a lot of cameras and to spread messages,&quot; she explains.</p><p>As she went on, Rubio also shared her goals in her remaining months with the Miss International Organization.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cy9Ymlkh2UT/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A3364044%2C%22ls%22%3A3341552%2C%22le%22%3A3342006%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>&quot;Well, my goal was to travel a lot and keep this legacy because, for me, one of the most traditional beauty pageants in the world is Miss International, and it&#x27;s an honor to be part of them, &quot;</p><p>Another goal Rubio wants to achieve in her reign as Miss International is to promote the legacy of the organization to aspiring and future beauty queens.</p><p>&quot;Well, to keep it relevant, you have to be constant in social media, I think girls need to be part of that also because life and the world have evolved with it and part of social media and part of the organization and to be part of big beauty queens these days you also have to get some personality to speak for your own, and you also have a strong soul or strong woman to be part of everything that has come in public figure this day,&quot; she said.</p><p>Rubio also reveals that she has a powerful support group with the former queens of Miss International.</p><p>&quot;We talked about a lot of kinds of stuff, we are also beauty queen lovers so, we talked about the candidates the girls for 2024, which one is hot and which one is not, and we support each other so it feels powerful to be in that group chat and to be part of the history of Miss International,&quot; she said.</p><p data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;--darkreader-inline-color:#e8e6e3">Rubio will crown the Philippines&#x27; next Miss International delegate during the Bb.
