“TiktoClock” had a very special guest on Thursday morning: None other than R’Bonney Gabriel!

Miss Universe 2022 was part of the opening number, where she showed off her beauty queen walk in a racer jacket and edgy short hair, as Jeremiah Tiangco and John Rex performed “When I Met You.”

After the performance, Donita Nose asked R’Bonney about what she had learned from her time in the Philippines so far.

“Sobrang traffic naman,” the beauty queen said.

R’Bonney shared her favorite Filipino dishes are sinigang and ensaymada.

“Hindi ako kumakain ng karne,” she added. “Pescetarian ako.”

For her guesting, R’Bonney tried her hand at the fun game, Ulo ng Mga Balita, where she had to guess which of the choices was the fake headline. She still needs help in that respect — R’Bonney lost! — but our girl clearly enjoyed the game.

R’Bonney returned to the Philippines early this week and immediately experienced the brutal summer’s heat. “Y’all said it was hot but I’m not sure I packed right for this heat,” she said on Instagram.

It will be a longer stay for R’Bonney, as she has a number of modeling, hosting, and guesting commitments to attend to. 

R’Bonney is the first Filipino-American Miss Universe. Aside from being a beauty queen, she is also a sustainable fashion designer.

In 2023, R’bonney was the special guest for the Miss Universe Philippines coronation night. She was also able to reunite with her family and visit her dad’s home street in Malate.

In an interview on “Updated with Nelson Canlas,” R’Bonney said that one of her distinct Filipino habits is picking up things with her feet. R’Bonney also delighted netizens with her use of balikbayan boxes when she traveled to El Salvador for the Miss Universe 2023 pageant.
