MANILA -- Ruffa Gutierrez took a trip down memory lane as she shared photos of her as a young beauty queen.

The actress and host was crowned Binibining Pilipinas World in 1993, and went on to finish second runner-up in Miss World that year.

"Taken when I was 18," she said of her pageant shots, which she posted on Instagram.

Gutierrez also included photos of her as a "Muslim living in Istanbul named Yasmeen" back in 2004.

Reflecting on her experiences, she said: "In life you will meet two kinds of people. Ones who build you up, and ones who tear you down. But in the end, you will thank them both."
