Rabiya Mateo, Miss Universe Philippines 2020, offered invaluable guidance for the upcoming 2025 winner during PLDT Home’s Netflix partnership launch. The pageant veteran emphasized two critical recommendations for the new titleholder:
- Trust your team and the Miss Universe Organization
- Avoid excessive social media engagement during your reign
“To the winner, please listen to your team,” Mateo advised in an exclusive Philstar.com interview. “There will be many supporters, but learn from my experience – limit social media consumption as it can significantly impact your mental health.”
The advice came during PLDT Home’s landmark Fiber Netflix Plan 1599 launch at The Mansion Sports Bar in Makati. The telecom giant unveiled an exciting promotion offering new subscribers (April 1-May 15, 2025) a chance to win a South Korea trip package including:
- Roundtrip airfare for two
- Hotel accommodations
- Squid Game: The Experience tickets
- ₱20,000 travel allowance
Five lucky winners will be selected on May 16 from subscribers of Fiber Netflix Plans 1599, 2499, and 3199.
PLDT Home also introduced its Fiber Stream Arcade – interactive Netflix-themed mall activations nationwide featuring:
- Immersive show-inspired games
- Exclusive merchandise giveaways
- Hands-on product demonstrations
“This promotion represents our commitment to enhancing customer experiences beyond internet service,” said Patrick S. Tang, PLDT Home Marketing VP. “Whether families are streaming at home or enjoying our mall activations, we’re creating memorable moments.”
