Actor Jake Cuenca took to his Instagram to share a touching and pride-filled message for his girlfriend, Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo, following her passing and admission into medical school at the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery.
In his Instagram post, Jake shared sweet photos from when they vacationed in Hong Kong and visited Disneyland.
The actor emphasized the power of pursuing one's passions in his post to Rabiya. Reflecting on her inspiring journey, he highlighted how alignment and joy pave the way for major life achievements.
“When you're on the right frequency of happiness, that's when dreams begin to find you," Jake wrote in the caption.
Expressing his immense admiration, Jake celebrated Rabiya's dedication and character as she enters this new chapter.
He warmly congratulated her on the academic milestone, noting that her compassionate nature will make her an exceptional doctor.
“I'm so proud of the incredible woman that you are @rabiyamateo,” he said.
“Congratulations on getting into UST FMS, on top of all the milestones you've already accomplished. Your future patients are lucky already,” he added.
He capped off the post by proudly addressing her as, “Future Dra. Rabiya Mateo.”
The couple first sparked romance rumors after being spotted together in Taguig and at a birthday party, leading Jake to later confirm that they were officially “exclusively dating.”
Coincidentally, around that same period, Rabiya was already gearing up for her medical school journey, going viral after revealing an impressive 741 NMAT score—a feat that playfully earned her comparisons to the fictional overachiever Linda Walker from Chinese mini-dramas.
This academic milestone marks the fulfillment of a long-held dream, which she had previously opened up about during a candid YouTube interview with DJ Chacha.
