CAT “When I was 13, my mum told me "Honey, I dreamt of you winning Miss Universe in a red dress." At that time I thought nothing of it, and today my mother's dream came true. ✨

Where do I even begin?
Lord God, I lift everything up to you - to glorify and honour you. 🙏

Philippines 🇵🇭 what an amazing honor it has been to carry your name across my chest and to embody you in all aspects. I may now carry the sash of Miss Universe, but I'll forever be your Miss Philippines
