The Miss Universe 2020 is officially over.
What did Philippine bet Rabiya Mateo do after the pageant?
First, she went backstage to fix her things.
She was spotted walking hand-in-hand with Miss Thailand Amanda Obdam as they got off the stage.
Miss Bolivia Lenka Nemer D'rpic also went live on her Instagram with Rabiya.
During their short live stream session, Rabiya said, "This is like a start, a beautiful start for something new. And actually, it’s just gonna be one girl who’s gonna be crowned, but I know in my heart, every one of us, we are alright even without that crown."

Next, Rabiya wanted to treat herself to a good meal.
In a post on her Instagram Stories, she said, "Gusto ko na mag Samgyup [peace sign emoji]."
Samgyup or Samgyeopsal is a South Korean cuisine popular in the Philippines.
But Rabiya and her team ended up feasting on Filipino dishes at a restaurant called Lutong Pinoy Filipino Cuisine in North Miami on Monday, May 17, 2021 (May 18 in the Philippines).
Based on Instagram stories, Rabiya had Pinoy-style fried chicken, pansit, barbecue, and caldereta, among many others.
She wrote, "Feels like home."
Rabiya also had lunch with Miss Mauritius Vandana Jeetah.
Vandana uploaded their photo on her Instagram stories, and wrote, "Aftermath of the @missuniverse competition, lunch with #MissPhilippines @rabiyamateo [heart emoji]."
In her next Instagram post, Vandana said Rabiya introduced her to the popular Filipino dessert Halo-halo.
Right after their lunch, Rabiya and her team went straight to the airport for their flight back to Los Angeles, California.
Rabiya uploaded a group photo and quipped, "Lotlot and friends [peace sign] Never a dull moment with these people. #teamphilippines."
"Lotlot" is a Filipino slang word which means "talo" or defeated.

On Instagram, Shamcey left inspiring words for the Ilongga beauty queen, "Have a safe flight to LA @rabiyamateo [kiss emoji] Remember, today is just the beginning of another amazing journey [heart emoji]"
