MEMORANDUM **
Reloisa Benitez Reyna, a native and citizen of Philippines, petitions for review of *616 the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her applications for asylum, withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). Reyna also petitions for review of the BIA’s decision denying her motion to remand proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence the agency’s denial of asylum and withholding of removal, Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1244 (9th Cir.2000) and we review de novo questions of law, Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000). We deny in part, and dismiss in part the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Reyna’s experiences in the Phillippines did not amount to past persecution. See Lim v. INS, 224 F.3d 929, 936-37 (9th Cir.2000). Furthermore, the evidence does not compel the conclusion that Reyna’s fear of future persecution is objectively reasonable. See Mendez-Gutierrez v. Gonzales, 444 F.3d 1168, 1172 (9th Cir.2006).
