BINALIKAN ni Catriona Gray ang simula ng kanyang naging journey patungo sa pagiging pinakamagandang babae sa buong universe.
Ayon sa dalaga, hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala na natupad na niya ang kanyang pangarap na makapagbigay ng karangalan sa bansa sa pamamagitan ng pagiging international beauty queen.
Si Catriona ang tinanghal na 2018 Miss Universe sa ginanap na grand coronation sa Bangkok, Thailand kahapon.
Sa kanyang kauna-unahang Instagram post kagabi matapos manalong Miss Universe, muli niyang sinariwa ang kanyang kabataan at ang tila premonisyon ng kanyang ina sa pagsabak niya sa Miss U.
Aniya, “When I was 13, my mum told me ‘Honey, I dreamt of you winning @missuniverse in a red dress.’ At that time I thought nothing of it, and today my mother’s dream came true. ?
“Where do I even begin? Lord God, I lift everything up to you – to glorify and honour you.
“Philippines what an amazing honor it has been to carry your name across my chest and to embody you in all aspects. I may now carry the sash of Miss Universe, but I’ll forever be your Miss Philippines.
