Binibining Pilipinas
After actresses Charlene Gonzales' top 6 finish at Miss Universe 1994 and Ruffa Gutierrez's second runner-up placement at Miss World 1993, Quintas aimed to replicate their success stories in her country's national beauty pageant, Binibining Pilipinas, participating at age 18.

As the official representative of her country to the 1995 Miss Universe pageant, broadcast live from Windhoek, Namibia on May 12, 1995, she placed 16th in the preliminary competition, coming 9th in the preliminary evening gown event.
Life after Binibining Pilipinas
Quintas continued working as a model and actress in several television shows and movies, never forgetting her success as a beauty queen, winning the titles of Miss Tourism International 1997 and Mrs. Philippines World in 2003.
A decade after she started modeling, she married Domini Primero and has three children with him: Rafael, Mulawin and Mayumi. In 2006, she started studying photography, later becoming famous for her work behind the camera.
In 2009, she was involved in a minor controversy with political candidate Joey Marquez when they were seen together as part of her work as a photographer for his political campaign. Both parties clarified the situation and moved on with their lives.
