"The best thing that I've seen today is Thailand and Philippines are holding hands," said another. 

In a previous interview, Rabiya revealed that Thailand is the country she wants to visit first once the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

Rabiya bowed out of the competition early after failing to earn a spot at the 69th Miss Universe pageant's Top 10. Amanda, meanwhile, finished at Top 10.
