ONE ON ONE with Miss Universe 2022 Rbonney Gabriel | A week in New York

Had a chance to do a sit down interview with Miss Universe 2022 Rbonney Gabriel a week after winning the crown and moving to New York.

R'Bonney is such an amazing communicator. She's so natural and articulate. I'm so happy she won. She prepared so hard for this and gave it her all. She's the definition of a transformational leader.

[@ramosfelize6848]

Kung may Isang traits n I really admired about her, . Is her positive mindset to all the controversy sorround her even after she wins mis USA..she didnt even talk shady things towards those mean co candidates ..she has strong mental aspect maybe coz she has a very supportive family behind her ..

[@jcescolastico5299]

Love Rbonney she is my favorite Miss USA after Olivia Jordan. She is very eloquent, classy and very smart.

[@andrearoces8597]

She is a Filipina- American beauty. Thank you for being proud of your Filipino roots. She has grace and elegance.

R'bonney MAY have competed and represented for USA, live in USA, born in USA----------- But! In her heart.. She is a Pinay. She has a Filipina soul. Her dad made sure she never forgets who she is and where she came from... A Filipino. 👈👈✌✌😁😁 I'm proud of R'bonney for being true to her roots right from the beginning. 👈👈🙏🙏❤❤

[@bryyj953]

What amazes me is that she started pageantry too late, at the age of 26! Her hard work and tough discipline paid off and to think it wasn't an easy Miss USA journey for her.

[@Arlene_58]

R'Bonney is so deserving of the title. So beautiful, sincere & intelligent!

[@pumpkindiamond994]

She's really a total package. Mind, heart, body and soul.

"When you want something that's so big you have to really cut aside a lot of distractions." R'boney - Miss Universe 2022. You caught me there girl! That was definitely not an easy task and that's why you're Miss Universe! Such an inspiring queen! 😊

[@pharmatrix14singer]

She is so deserving of the Miss Universe title. She has that wow factor. She’s spontaneous, spunky and relatable. Her advocacy and her cause also is an A+. She is a leader in her own right. R’Bonney rocks! By the way, Ms. Dyan Castillejo can be Miss Universe too with that look ❤😊

She was never one of my favorites in this year's competition but she has now become my ultimate favorite Miss Universe ever!

[@reignlopez5094]

Deserving winner. One of the best and smart winner.

[@haanchangsoh9379]

She is a very well-rounded woman. She is someone who knows where she stands very clearly. She contributes herself fully to help others. The dialogue in each of her interviews is very meaningful. Besides her beautiful appearance, her inner beauty is even more attractive. She has a very *hands-on* approach to her participation in Miss Universe. She is a leading professional woman with a clear life purpose. She is my queen. Miss Universe 2022.💕

[@chelzroseuy7846]

Right...her inner beauty is more than anybody else from her opponents during the pageant...

I Love R'Bonney she's so adorable, very rounded beautiful lady of course very honest!!! not pretender! Very down to earth...Basically she is indeed the total package of being the New Miss Universe!!!!

She is not pretentious coz she grew up in a country where people usually outspoken but she controlled her words coz, she might caught VALUES from her father who is a Filipino...

[@seraphim7279]

Wow R'bonney so humble and lovely. Hoping that R'bonney can visit Philippines as part of her itinerary for the year not just Manila but also in Cebu Ayala, Cebu IT Park, & SM Slex in the Philippines.👍❤😄

You see R'bonney had discipline and she learned the hard way, that is why she won. It's not enough that someone pushed you to practice, but you should have the initiative and self mindset with optimism.

[@JazzMeUinFLUSA]

She is very deserving of the 2022 Miss Universe crown. Such an amazing woman.

[@Walkinginnature78]

I really like watching her, her positivity outlook, good mindset and the way she talk and express herself inspires me ,knowing that she has Filipino blood kind a give you that ethnicity connection too, proud of her upbringings.

[@jovinabea]

it's so nice to hear that even a well spoken person like her struggled with communicating what's in her mind and being shy-- like seeing myself every time she speaks (not that i'm also for mu lol). i've supported her during miss usa, hoped she'd win miss universe and here we are, loving her even more. the genuinity in her words and action is very admirable, can't wait to see her work as the miss universe.. and after!

[@stanleystone49]

Wow what a stunning miss universe the sash looks so good on her a true smart queen.

@@elizabethwilliams3813 yes a queen is a queen. This queen is not ashame of her roots, instead proud of it. She's like a Phoenix who rise from the ashes(in her case she rose from the allegations of her fellow contestants in Miss USA), She knows she didn't do anything, she fought to clear her name, and rise above anyone else in return.

Nice interview Dyan (Love your gorgeous hairstyle). I feel that R'Bonney Gabriel is the best Miss Universe this pageant ever had. She is the true definition of beauty inside and out, plus hardworking, genuine, humble, intelligent, classy, talented, living with a purpose, and loves to use her talent to help others. I love Pia Wurtzback and Catriona Gray, no doubt about that. But R'Bonney is truly the total package of what a Miss Universe is. In America, the lifestyle is different (I moved to US when I was 23. now 68). To grow up in America as a Filipino-American and have a personality and character like R'Bonney is an amazing achievement. Her Filipino father and American mother did an amazing job! I wish R'Bonney continued success in her journey. A true role model. Her sincerity shines through. Thanks again for this wonderful interview. I hope you will interview her again in the future, perhaps in 2024? I was wondering why her reign was cut to 10 mos only. She's an amazing role model.
