Miss Universe Philippines candidate and reigning Miss Sorsogon Maria Isabela Galeria went viral last year.

She said had no idea why people are calling her and telling her she had become a meme, until she saw the video of Vice Ganda telling the It's Showtime audience her "claim to fame"-moment with Anne Curtis.

Watch this PEP Exclusives interview and get to know more this nurse-turned-beauty queen, her love for ukay-ukay, and her advocacy of providing healthcare to rural areas in Sorsogon.

Last September 28, Isabela announced on social media that she contacted COVID-19. She has since been in quarantine.

She will continue her Miss Universe Philippines campaign provided that she recovers after her 14th day in isolation on October 8.

Let's pray for her quick and full recovery.
