(Eagle News) — Catriona Elisa Gray was crowned Miss Universe-Philippines 2018 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Sunday night, March 18.

Gray is set to represent the country in the most awaited 67th Miss Universe pageant.

The 24-year-old stunner was a consistent crowd favorite, winning five major awards, including the first-ever Pitoy Moreno National Costume Award.

She was named Best in Swimsuit, Best in Long Gown, and Best in National Costume, Binibining Miss Ever Bilena, and Jag Denim Queen.

In the question and answer portion H.E. US Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Yong Kim asked Gray: “After the devastating war, Marawi is now on its way to recovery. What is your message to the young women of Marawi?.”

“Thank you for that question. My answer and my message to the women is to be strong. As women, we’re the head of the household and we have amazing influence not only in our families, as mothers, sisters and friends, but also in our community. If we could get the women to stay strong and be that image of strength for the children and the people around them, then once the rebuilding is complete and is underway, the morale of the community will stay strong and high. Thank you,” Gray answered, touching the hearts of many.
