    2. Medyo off ang top 10 bio ni Cat, all about herself na naman just like Rachel last year. Miss Vietnam's top 10 talk is the best.

    2. Tingin ko sinadya para walang hint na si Cat ang kokoranahan.if you've been following Miss U from the time of arrival, Cat was the most favorite candidate even by people working with them. One of the judges who is Thai even left a comment sa instagram post ni Cat a few weeks ago. All pageang sites predicted her to win and the Thai themselves loved her. She was always on their news. And analysts were saying that Miss U will make a big mistake, if they u don't crown her coz she's got what it takes. Im so proud of her.

    4. 10:52 si Ashley Graham yung supermodel sa tatlong host ilang beses niya sinabi na she was rooting for the Philippines. Sinabi niya rin na nasa top 5 niya si Catriona. Yung dalawa yung hindi binabanggit si Cat. Lalo na yung African American na runway coach na isa sa host. Yun yung dati di bet si Rachel Peters

  84. She has been named the most popular miss u candidate ever. All pageant sites predicted her to win. Pageant analysts even say Miss U will make a big mistake if they dont crown her. The peolpel working behind them has been giving her praises and she's all over Thailand news in the last few weeks. Also getting a solo spot in interviews. One of the judges who's thai left a comment in her IG post a few weeks ago. And they all say she's got all it takes to be Miss U. She has an advocacy, well spoken, beautiful, has charisma and is well loved. Ive been following her journey and have watched all videos related to her in youtube. She's always trending in Thailand. So proud of her. Congrats Cat. Congrats Philippines. You proved the world, the universe rather that you are the queen.

  97. I appreciate Ashley Graham na siya lang sa mga hosts ang nagmemention sa Philippines. She was rooting for her at kasama siya sa top list niya, samantalang yung dalawa never nabanggit si Catriona.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Nagkalat ang mga Latino sa IG pge ng Miss Universe. Ang bi-bitter nila. Dapat daw Venezuela nanalo. Hello? Hindi nga nya sinagot ang second question. Yong answer pa nya sa first question about what she learned in life was predictable and generic. Gasgas na in other words. Whereas, Catriona’s answer was new, may impact and truth, and talagang it came from the heart.

  108. Pansin ko lang, nung nanalo si Pia, kalaban nya si Colombia. Eh si Miss Colombia (Paulina) rin ung pinalitan ni Pia. This time, kalaban ni Catriona si Miss South Africa, na naging successor naman ni Cat si Miss South Africa (Demi). Parang may connect lang

    Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS QUEEN CATRIONA!!!!
