NOT a few were surprised at the fanfare-less arrival of Miss Universe Catriona Gray.
When she came last Feb. 15, no one seems to know that she’s coming. This is the reason why walang nagkagulo at walang coverage ang kanyang pagdating. She could have been welcomed by her fans but hindi ito nangyari kasi nga wala siyang kaabog-abog na dumating ng bansa.
Many were asking why this happened samantalang ‘yung iba nga runner-up winners lang sa beauty pageants lang pero ang welcome entourage ay grabe.
Why was Catriona spared from a hero’s welcome sa airport? Did somebody keep her landing at the Philippine airport a secret? Bakit may ganoon siyang drama?
Anyway, mayroon namang iba’t ibang activities si Catriona sa kanyang pagdating sa bansa. Marami siyang charitable events na pupuntahan. Siguro naman meron na siyang TV interview ngayong nasa Pilipinas na siya.
Dalawang karosa na inspired sa kanyang lava gown ang inihanda para sa kanyang homecoming parade sa Feb. 21 at 23. And aside from the special commemorative stamp from Philpost, gumawa rin ng song sina Billy Crawford, James Reid at Marcus Davis para kay Catriona, ang “Filipina Girl”.
