During the Q&A portion, Miss World 2015 Mireia Lalaguna from Spain asked Catriona, “Which qualities do you think it will take to wear my crown?”

Bicolana pride Catriona gave an awesome answer that earned her huge applause from the audience watching at the Theater at MGM National Harbor in Maryland, USA. 

She said, “I think first of all it takes bravery, to be a Miss World is to carry a burning torch, it is like action carried out by one to illuminate the lives of many. And I would dedicate my whole self, my love for the arts and my voice to try to uplift, empower and educate people. And it would be my greatest honor and duty to hold this torch high enough, so that the all the world could feel and see it’s light.”
