Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray: “I knew that I was doing this para sa Pilipinas.”
Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray felt emotional during her farewell walk at last night's Binibining Pilipinas 2019 Coronation Night.
On her farewell speech, she mentioned that it wasn't an easy feat to be where she is today.
“The first one was conquering myself,” she said.
“Like every single person, I had to overcome the fear that comes from within.
“The fear of falling short, the fearing of failure, the fear of not measuring up.
“The second was conquering others.
“There were so many times that people told me that I would fail.
“I was told that it was too soon for another Miss Universe from the Philippines.
“I was body shamed and I was outdone. But I conquered others.”
She concluded, “I may only be one person but now I have the opportunity to serve 104 million Filipinos. And I knew that I was doing this para sa Pilipinas.”
Aside from her speech, Catriona also made heads turn as she wore the waling-waling inspired gown designed by couturier Mak Tumang.
