Dia Maté: The Reina Hispanoamericana AND Pop Star Journey 👑 | MIC DROP with ayn bernos

It's Dia Maté's world and we're just living in it. 👑

After her stint at Miss Universe Philippines in 2024, Dia Maté shocked the pageant world by showing up a few days later at the Miss World Philippines screening. She then went on to take home the Reina Hispanoamerica Filipinas crown, finally allowing her to represent the Philippines internationally, and is set to compete in Bolivia in February 2025. While most stop there, Dia continued to pursue another dream alongside this one, and that is to keep making music. Mid-preparations for Reina, she released the now-viral single Ganda-Gandahan, cementing her Filipina pop girl status. ✨

On this episode of MIC DROP, we talk about relentlessly fighting for your dreams, embracing your authentic self, and learning to have fun along the way.
