MAYA SEGOVIA
32 YRS. OLD, MILITARY OFFICER
BATANGAS
“I’m a survivor in the truest sense. I survived all life’s challenges. I can accomplish anything inspite of all the personal problems I’m going through. I’m a mom, a military officer, a military pilot and a business woman. I can do multi-tasking and get the work done well.”
Captain Maya Segovia, a military officer and a pilot of the Philippine Air Force has always thought of herself as a man trapped in a woman’s body.
“Kahit na emotional pa rin ako bilang babae, kaya kong makipagsabayan sa mga lalaki,” the mother of two said.
Maya has been a pilot for seven years and she believes that it is her destiny to be a part of the profession ruled by men.
“Flying is really one of the things that make me happy,” she added.
Always competitive and physically active, Maya has been a mountaineer for 16 years and has also participated in triathlons.
She is also a taekwondo black-belter.
Despite all her credentials, Maya prepared herself for Survivor Philippines: Palau by studying people politics through reading books on psychology.
