Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2017 Rachel Peters has been the talk of the country since her win last night. Rightfully so as she did perform well, from swimsuit category to the Q&A portion.
Now that she’s the Philippines’ representative for Miss Universe, it’s only right that we get to know her a bit more. We did some digging and found out couple of things about the 25-year-old entrepreneur-slash-beauty queen.
#1 She joined Miss World Philippines in 2014

However, Rachel’s relationship with MWP didn’t end there as she was invited to anchor Miss World Philippines 2016 alongside Lauren Reid.
#2 Worked with Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera
After taking up Business, Tourism, and Events at La Trobe University in Australia, Rachel had the opportunity to organize events for international artists. “I have been lucky enough to work with Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera,” she said in a short Bb. Pilipinas video. Additionally, she’s worked with Midas Promotions to organize Jessie J and The Script’s shows here.

Rachel is currently dating Camarines Sur Governor Migz Villafuerte. They’re often seen traveling to local beaches, as well as foreign destinations like Thailand and Japan. Rachel also tags along whenever Migz does charity work in Bicol. When they’re not going anywhere, they just chill with their bulldog Ronda.
