'''Caroline "Cara" Villarosa Subijano''' is a Filipino newscaster and former beauty queen and who was crowned [[Binibining Pilipinas|Binibining Pilipinas World 1994]].<ref name=inquirer/>

==Early life==
Her career began in fashion modeling when she won the Supermodel of the Philippines competition during a summer break from her political science and journalism studies at [[UC Berkeley]]. She endorsed several products in the [[Philippines]], such as [[Sunsilk]], Creamsilk, and Ovaltine Light.

==Bb. Pilipinas - World==
After graduating college, Subijano competed in the [[Binibining Pilipinas|Binibining Pilipinas 1994]] competition and won the title of Binibining Pilipinas World. She was preceded by [[Ruffa Gutierrez]], who had placed second runner-up to [[Miss World 1993]].

==Miss World 1994==
As the official representative of her country to [[Miss World 1994]], Subijano placed among the top 10 semifinalists of the event held in [[Sun City, North West|Sun City]], [[South Africa]] on 19 November.

She spent five weeks in South Africa helping raise millions of dollars with other contestants for the [[United Nations]]' project Operation Hunger, becoming close friends with Patinya Thongsri (Miss Thailand), and having the privilege of shaking hands with former South African President [[Nelson Mandela]].

==Life after Bb. Pilipinas - World==
After passing her crown to the next Binibining Pilipinas World, Reham Snow Tago, Subijano continued modeling and became a board member of the Professional Models Association of the Philippines (PMAP). She was also chosen to be one of two first CalCarries models to be sent to [[Asia]], and became the face of the [[Giordano (clothing)|Giordano]] ready-to-wear fashion in Hong Kong. She also took the lead role in several commercials and fashion shows in [[Japan]], [[Taiwan]], [[Indonesia]], and [[Hong Kong]].

Although her career in fashion was flourishing, Subijano decided to fulfill her dream of working in journalism and [[newscasting]]. Back in college, she had already started her training as a public and community relations intern for KRON/[[NBC]] Channel 4 and as a broadcast news intern for KTVU/[[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] Channel 2. She soon became a sportscaster and entertainment anchor for local channels in the Philippines and joined the news team of [[Sky Cable]] News, an affiliate of [[ABS-CBN Corporation|ABS-CBN]] Broadcasting Corporation. Two years later, Subijano signed up with the Genesis Artists Management Company of [[Gary Valenciano|Gary]] and Angeli Valenciano, and started doing television and special events hosting.

When ABS-CBN International decided to produce ''[[Balitang America]]'', a Filipino-American weekend news program, Subijano was chosen as the show's news anchor. Working with the ABS-CBN Company allowed her to experience different aspects of the media industry: her anchor position, reporting stints, special events hosting, TV commercial productions, and TV advertising sales. ''Balitang America Week-end News'' ended its run after seven years, but Subijano continued to be part of ABS-CBN as she has covered special hosting and anchoring stints in other productions.

Subijano moved back to [[California]], and has worked in a management role for several companies in the high-tech and medical device industry. She lives with her husband, Ken, and her daughter, Ashley.
