The whole country is celebrating the big win of Dia Mate after she was crowned in Bolivia as the newest Reina Hispanoamericana title holder.
Dia is the second Pinay to bag the prestigious title, after Sparkle actress Teresita “Winwyn” Marquez won in 2017.
Dia's boyfriend, 'Buwan' hitmaker JK Labajo, is extremely proud of her achievement.
JK wrote a love letter for the Caviteña beauty on Instagram and stated that all of her hard work and sacrifices finally paid off.
“My love, CONGRATULATIONS! You've worked so hard to get to where you are now, and it fills my heart with warmth and joy to witness your growth and see how far you've come.” Labajo said.
He continued, “You deserve all the good things life has to offer because you never gave up! You've faced so many challenges, endured countless sleepless nights, and dedicated endless hours to your training--all with unwavering determination. You've carried our flag with such grace and elegance, and we are all so proud to have you represent our country on the international stage, inspiring the younger generation and being the voice for all the causes you stand up for. This is just the beginning!
“To my sweet, kind, loving, and beautiful soul--inside and out--my baby girl, my baba, my queen: I love you more than words can express. Te amo mucho, mi amor.”
Dia replied to JK's message saying, “I love you! Thank you for being my rock”
Aside from Winwyn and Dia, Pinay Michelle Arceo also finished strong in the 2024 edition of Reina Hispanoamericana beauty pageant by taking the second runner-up spot.
