R'Bonney Gabriel continues to embrace her Filipino roots as she shared her experience riding a jeepney, the most popular means of public transport in the Philippines. 

On Instagram, the former Miss Universe posted a video of her during the ride, admitting that she was "terrified" deep down despite looking calm and composed.

She added that she hit her head at one point, drawing laughter from Filipino netizens who appreciated her honesty and sense of humor.

"When you're terrified and there's no seatbelt in the jeepney and you don't know what's your next stop so you just accept your fate," she said in her post, which had the hashtag #diaryofaFilAm.

Some of Gabriel's followers also commended her for not being "maarte" (fussy), citing the challenge of taking public transport amid the scorching heat. 

Others, meanwhile, suggested that she take the MRT next.

Gabriel, the first-ever Filipino-American Miss Universe, won the crown in 2022. She is set to co-host this year's Miss Universe Philippines pageant on May 22 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
