Catriona Gray showbizLive
Hanggang ngayon ay meron pa ring hangover ang mga Pinoy sa pagkakapanalo ni Catriona Gray bilang Miss Universe 2018.
Talaga ngang inabangan ng lahat mapa-lalaki, babae, bading at tomboy ang winning moment ni Catriona. May ilan pa ngang napatigil talaga ang trabaho ng umagang iyon just to watch the pageant.
Before her win, nag-guest si Catriona sa Bandera and Inquirer.net Wedensday showbiz talkshow na #ShowbizLive. Kakatapos pa lang ng stint niya noon sa Miss World 2016. Hindi siya “thank you girl” in that pageant dahil nakapasok siya sa Top 5.
Maraming napabilib sa kanya including host that time dahil sa dami ng kanyang beauty queen-worthy answers.
Narito ang ilang quotable quotes from our crowned Miss Universe:
On beauty queens
“In this day and age, beauty queens are put on an even higher platform than before. Were not just there to sit and look pretty even though that’s what some people still see in us. I think we now have a larger responsibility. Our voice is much more magnified than it was before.”
On the Miss World 2016
“I never thought that I had this in the bag. Of course I’m confident pa rin, but I can never put myself in that place of yes I’ve won it, this is mine, there’s no doubt. There’s always a doubt. Every time na there’s an announcement I’m so nervous. It’ so nerve wracking talaga because your just hanging on the announcement every word. And all the time, every announcement whether it’s top ten, top five whatever, I was just praying. I was like, ‘Lord, just let me prepared for whatever happens. If I don’t win then let me be content with it. If I do then thank You.”
Kaba
“It’s a really strange sensation because before going on stage that’s the most nerve-wracking for me. Even as a performer when I sing, when I do modeling, when I’m hosting. Before I get on stage, that’s when all the thoughts are circulating in my head. But when I’m on stage parang it turns. It’s a different thing na. The only thing I’m thinking is how can I make my country proud.”

On being a beauty queen
“I feel like being a beauty queen is like just being the best version of yourself”
On Bashers
“I think it comes with being a public figure and any industry that puts you in the public eye. It’s just like art. You’re not gonna have a 100% positive reception to anything. I always know they don’t know who I am, they’re judging me from a photo or…yeah it’s usually from just photos. They don’t know who I am, they don’t know what I stand for, my values or my personality so it doesn’t really affect me because how can you judge someone by a photo.”
