However, the post did not quite sit well with Instragram user @maecy, who told Catriona, “Holy Week is not about vacationing.”

The Pinay beauty queen politely responded and explained what her post meant.

She replied, “Yes I agree. Holy Week is not about vacationing.

“Holy Week is a very meaningful time for Christians (like me), Catholics and other faiths but as I speak to an audience of an array of faiths and beliefs, within and outside of the Philippines,”

“I want to be inclusive with the conversations I pose on social media.”
