While waiting for signs of life from WME/IMG on where and when the next Miss Universe edition will finally be held, here are photos of Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters with boyfriend Migz Villafuerte during a recent town get-together in Siargao where their cafe business operates.

This is Rachel at her most relaxed, and the very relaxed get-up is just appropriate for a surfing destination such as where they usually stay in.

Thank you to photographer Janos Leo Andanar for publicly sharing the soread of photos in this entry.

Miss Universe Philippines Rachel Peters

Rachel’s very first customers

Yesterday was a special date for Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters since it was the soft opening of her Hideout in Siargao charmingly called “Bake by Hideout” (a business partnership with boyfriend Migz Villafuerte). It is a very cozy place where guests can have a good cup of brewed coffee or latté along with a choice of one of the premium pastries she herself baked. As you can see in the photos below, the interiors are very welcoming the minute you enter. It’s like being in your own living room with friends and enjoying light – albeit animated – talks.

From this point onwards, Bake by Hideout will be a permanent fixture in the surfing paradise. So when you fancy a visit to Siargao or are planning to have a vacation there soon, don’t forget to drop by. Who knows, Rachel might be the barista in duty and prepare orders herself. 😉

Rachel Peters and her bar/coffee shop will soon rise in Siargao


If you happen to be in Siargao and chance upon a tall, beautiful lady who looks just like Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters, consider yourself lucky because that would be one of the rare occasions that she got a brief respite from beauty queen duties at BPCI.

You see, prior to winning the national crown, Rachel was already busy with the planned opening of her bar/coffee shop in surfing paradise Siargao. This is a hideout of sorts from the stress of urban jungle living which she has delightfully called “Bake”. And since I have known fully well how much she loves surfing, dogs and the beach, this is pretty much the comfort zone of a business that she has been involved in with boyfriend Migz Villafuerte.

Schedules have definitely moved after winning Bb. Pilipinas. But Rachel will find the time to attend to “Bake”, even if it means just stealing brief moments (read: a day or two) from the hectic schedule in Manila.

So if you plan to surf in Siargao in a next vacation, make sure you time it during or around the opening of “Bake” so you will see Rachel in action as a barista (she trained in Australia before) or serving yummy pastries with a cup of cappucino or latte’.
