A half-Filipina is in the running to be the Bachelor’s next sweetheart.
Catherine Ligaya Mejia Giudici is a 26-year-old graphic designer and blogger from Washington who has survived eight episodes.
So far, she has bested 23 other female contestants to make it in the top three for Sean Lowe’s affection in ABC’s reality series, The Bachelor.
Catherine is the daughter of Cynthia Mejia-Giudici, a trustee for the Filipino-American National Historical Society in Seattle.
Her father, Carey “Trip” Guidici, is of Scottish and Swiss-Italian descent, and a renowned journalist and former editor-in-chief of Northwest Asia Weekly.
The Bachelor is a popular reality television dating game show where women compete for the affection of a “Bachelor.”
This season (its 17th) features 28-year-old Sean Lowe, an insurance agent from Texas, as the Bachelor.
On Monday’s episode, Catherine introduced Lowe to her family in Seattle. There, the couple ate lumpia and Catherine shared how to show proper respect to her Lola (grandma) in traditional Filipino culture by placing her hand on his forehead (doing the “mano po”).
Catherine is a graduate of Washington State University and is a “self-proclaimed ‘opportunistic vegan.’”
According to her bio, she currently works at Amazon and blogs for Seattleite, a lifestyle website.
