Her professional rise was anything but smooth. Trust Miss Universe Philippines 2020 candidate Alexandra Abdon of the City of Manila, though, to take every step along the way as challenging pit stops that molded her into a stronger person. And she wants to be the harbinger of hope for the out-of-school youth in the country.
“To start with, I took up BS in Hotel & Restaurant Management at National University Manila from 2016-2019, and lasted three years doing so. Then I shifted to BS in Tourism Management at Arellano University for just a year. I really want to pursue a career as a Flight Attendant. But unfortunately, due to some personal circumstances, I had to stop attending school entirely.”
Alexandra is currently working as a Marketing Director and Creative Consultant for a franchising company. She works with her partner to promote brands and hit their target market. She is also an entrepreneur, starting and running a milktea cafe in Pasig.
“I advocate for the out-of-school youth. As a college undergraduate, I know how hard it is to land a job that would match one’s skills without a diploma tucked under my belt. But with the help of the company I am presently working with, we provide necessary trainings and help promising young individuals to pass the certifications given by TESDA. We focus mainly on food & beverage which is very much in-demand nowadays. I want them to be properly compensated & be treated equally.”
Right now, Alexandra keeps herself busy with productive meditation, home workouts & watching Netflix documentaries specifically about History & Nature. She reads motivational & self help books a lot as well.
“Aside from that, I support small businesses by purchasing their products & promoting them to my personal friends as well. Together with my partner, we are currently working on providing millions of masks to public hospitals. It’s just that we opt not to post anything on social media because we believe that we shouldn’t brag about helping.”
Alexandra has nothing but pure love for moms and kids out there. With the help of her brother who is working with a pharmaceutical company, they provide milk & supplements to pregnant women who need to follow a safe journey towards motherhood.
“Again, I am not very visible on social media. But I know for sure that I am doing my part and this pandemic is a gift of time. I’m always happy to be able to help.”
Owing to the absence of a “Beyond the Coastlines” video for now, I am sharing with you the video of Alex when she guested on the online program of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno.
no pageant this year
coronavirus is here to stay
Lol sorry , I’m using my phone so . I could barely see anything . So based on the schools she went to , she was not exactly an academic achiever . Not that it matters but it’s different when they are from UP Lasalle Ateneo or a similar school , they come with class and great level of confidence …. like Kylie Bella and Shamcey.
She’s very pretty with little make up on
But the way she talks , parang yung ipin sagabal. Kabado kulang sa public exposure talaga.
I didn’t get too much info about her
Wheee did she go to school?
What’s her profession ?
Tito Norman, pls provide some specific details about her

Bella MU 2020
@ Fabian Reyes The scholastic and professional information are provided in the article.
NU, muna, HRM. Ta’s, nag-shift sa Arellano U, kumuha ng Tourism Management.
She currently works as Marketing Director and Creative Consultant for a franchising company. She also has a cafe in Pasig City.
🙂
It will be beginner’s luck for The Camp if Bella wins MUP, and MU later on. For sure, it would result in a deluge of applicants. But as Mr. Tinio says, they only work on not more than three (3) trainees for now.
This is another extremely raw girl
Iba talaga si Bella Ysmael. She’s got everything a Miss U should have . If she doesn’t win this yr , Bella should try next yr
Alaiza can be a runner up
Michelle can be a top 20
Apriel can be a top 5
But I really have high hopes for Bella. Kaya talaga nyang manalo . She’s classy well-spoken at ok sa rampahan.
