GO GIRL: Alexandra Mae Rosales



Binibini Alexandra Mae Rosales has been working for Okada Manila for three years now when she decided to go on leave to compete in Bb. Pilipinas 2020 pageant.

Through the prestigious Bb. Pilipinas contest, Rosales said that she hopes to use this platform as a voice to help spread animal welfare in the country.

"Many people lack awareness on animal care. Hanggang ngayon may thinking pa rin ang iba na unahin ang tao dahil hayop lang iyan. They are living creatures given to us by God. I believe God gave animals to us so that we can take care of them not to exploit them," said Rosales during an interview recently.


"Sometimes we use them for our resources. They have feelings also and tayong tao na may mga isip, we need to protect these animals," she said.

The Binibini front-runner also slammed products which use animals for their tests.

"There are make-up brands that use animals for testing such as lipstick and eye shadows. I don't patronize make-up brands that test on animals," Rosales said.


She added: "It's a hidden issue and not many people know that. I hope these should be stopped. Many animals are exploited for research."

Rosales has seven cats and counting and three dogs.

This Calamba beauty graduated with a degree in tourism at the Malayan College in Laguna. She stands 5'9 1/2 and measures 36-25-36.

In 2015, Rosales competed at the Miss Southeast Asia Ambassadress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and finished as first runner-up. Get to know more of Rosales in an exclusive interview for Pop News Philippines.


Favorite TV show: "I don't get to watch a lot of TV these days because of the shifting schedules in my work."

Favorite make-up brand: "I love NYX because they don't test the make-up on animals.

Favorite song/s: "One In A Million by Ne-Yo."

Favorite movie: "Titanic"

Favorite celebrity: "Liza Soberano."


Memorable thing/s about joining pageants: "When you know that you have the support of many people, especially those from your province. Those messages saying that they are so proud of me, you can do this."

If you could turn back time, where would you want to be? - "Everything has its purpose. That's why kapag may nangyayari sa akin, hindi ko na siya binabalikan. What happened in the past, there's a reason why I'm in this state right now."

If you could be invisible for one day, what would you do? - Laughing. "Susundan ko si Nanay Meg (Perez), iyong manager ko."

If you have the power to cure one disease, what would it be and why? - "I think I would like to get a cure for HIV/AIDS. Ang laki na ng impact niya and ang dami ng affected. Ang tagal na niya and hindi pa ito nasusugpo. So I hope we find a cure for this disease." - Robert Requintina
