Though Angela failed to make it to the semi-finals, the beauty queen still received a standing ovation during the coronation night and just like Filipinos, she celebrated Catriona's win.

In her Twitter, Angela posted her photo with Miss Universe 2018 Catriona and wrote, "Yes I am [a] happy sister @catrionaelisa. Congrats, Philippines, our new #MissUniverse."

She also attested to Catriona's positive attitude in her social media post. Angela added, "She is beautiful, she is a very kind girl I'm very happy for you, Cat. I love you, Philippines and all my fans [who] always support me."

Even before the pageant started, Catriona said she's in favor of a transgender woman joining Miss Universe.
