Catriona Gray thanks the Philippines: 'If not for you, I would not have the endurance or the spirit to do what I do'

It was short, sweet, and meaningful.

On Twitter Tuesday, the official Miss Universe account tweeted a video of new Miss Universe Catriona Gray thanking the Philippines.

“I just wanna say thank you to the Philippines, my country. You know, you guys have supported me all through this and if not for you, I would not have the endurance or the spirit to do what I do.”
