Miss Universe 2022 Rbonney Gabriel is all set to return to the Philippines, as announced by Miss Universe Philippines organization. The organization made the official announcement and urged everyone to welcome the former Miss Universe queen in February.

The organization, in collaboration with Empire Philippines, wrote, “The Philippines is very close to R’Bonney’s heart because of her Filipino heritage— something she has always been very vocal about and proud of. So be ready to give her a warm welcome back! Regal, empowered, and a true original— Mabuhay ka, R’Bonney! We can’t wait to see you in February!”

Gabriel visited the Philippines last year in May as she visited her dad’s home in Manila after the coronation night of Miss Universe Philippines 2023. Back then, as reigning Miss Universe, she was warmly received by her family and neighbors and she also distributed school supplies to the children in the community.

With the hint from the national organization, Gabriel will for sure be joining the organization in some role as an inspiration and a transformational leader. Gabriel crowned Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua as the new Miss Universe in November 2023.
