Filipino-American Miss Universe 2022 R’Bonney Gabriel was stoked upon seeing her first billboard in Manila.
The beauty queen on Tuesday, March 4, shared an Instagram video of herself squealing in delight as she passed by her huge billboard as a Great Lengths endorser.
Great Lengths, a local hair care brand, welcomed the half-Pinay into its family in September 2024.

“So today, I’m headed to see my first billboard in Manila. This is super special for me because Great Lengths is the first company that I signed an endorsement with here in the Philippines,” R’Bonney said in the video on Instagram.
The billboard is visible as one drives from the expressway toward the toll gates. She can be heard squealing as she passes by and spots it.
“Ano sa tingin mo?” the beauty queen asked her driver.
“Maganda,” he responded.
“That’s so awesome,” R’Bonney said with a smile. “Thank you, Great Lengths!”

R’Bonney has been traveling back and forth to the Philippines, her father’s home country, ever since she won the beauty pageant.
