WATCH: Catriona Gray looks back on her Miss Universe journey

Reigning Miss Universe Catriona Gray released a throwback video of her journey to the crown on Monday evening, November 15.

The 5-minute clip entitled, “Maghanda: The Country. The Preparation. The Crown,” showed various footages and photos of Catriona and her preparations including consultations with historians, pasarela training, location shoots, and videos.

According to the 4th Filipina Miss Universe, the preparation had led her to ask, “What does it mean to be a Filipino?”

This question led her to understand her culture and being hands-on every step of the way that eventually led her to bag the crown on December 17, 2018, in Bangkok, Thailand.

She ends the video by saying, “But the crown isn't the greatest honor of my life.

“It was in bringing pride to my country, the Philippines, that remains to be my greatest honor and my crowning glory.”

Catriona is set to crown her successor on December 8th in Atlanta, Georgia.
