Catriona just opened the eyes and heart of all Filipino people. What Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao means. The culture, the heritage, our resources. And most of all how did she reunited all of this wearing that National Costume. If you're one of those who bashed her costume, Im gonna leave you this question. "What did you contribute to our country?"
True I agree. As a filipino who is active in social media most indigenous tribes and people that are noticed much are the ones from Luzon and Visayas not much in Mindanao, they only think Mindanao as one whole muslim tribe that struggles in war and siege
Sir @Benedixramos ..dalhin mo sana dito Vlog mo.please.. . subscriber mo ako... Tnalak Festival - South cotabato july 2019 Lake sebu - 7 falls tboli: Lake Holon salamat po.
Catriona change the way on how to represent the Philippines in the international stage.....She's not just a beauty with brains but a Lady who have a big heart for her country and countrymen.
After seeing all three videos on Luzon, Visayas & Mindanao, I have realized that they show NOT ONLY how celebratory, courageous and creative Filipinos are BUT ALSO the fact that she has actually not left the Philippines behind in her journey. In every small step of hers, we are always part of it, making us all touched, thankful and teary-eyed. Win or lose, it is the country we belong to, that matters most and that can be changed the last or the least. As Margarita Moran (Miss Universe 1973) once said: "To be a Miss Universe is like having a birthstone, you can lose it, BUT to be a Filipino or Filipina is like having a birthmark, it is permanent and cannot be taken away from you." Once a Filipino, always a Filipino. Hail to our queen!!!
I was not excited nor interested with pageants before but stumbling upon Cartriona gave me a life changing epitome of a beauty queen and what we Filipinos should be thinking, speaking and doing about our country.
As a Mindanaon, it makes me cry, seeing how Catriona loves our nation's , our culture its very nice and very thankful, one thing only I can say for Catriona, you're a Queen and forever our Queen, our Miss Universe.
Catriona and her team presented Philippines through an artist's eyes. A proof that beauty can be seen anywhere if you know how to look. The impact of this video goes beyond the pageant miss universe, you shed a new light to our country, Philippines. 🌞
I am not a die hard fan of Bb Pilipinas or MU because I only see typical beauty queens (yes the big amount of effort is there and I appreciate that bec it is not easy to compete in MU) but Catriona is really different. I see her as someone who is not only competing for the crown but she is using this opportunity to showcase what the Philippines has to offer! No one, I guess, in the history of Bb Pilipinas was a candidate for MU tried to do this. She even decided to be an independent candidate because she wants to express herself freely, and look what it got her - the love of so many Filipinos. She also used this platform to make her organization which helps kids with no access to good education known to the bigger audience. Beauty and brain can surely be found in all MU contestants, that's why they won on their respective country's competition, right? But with this girl, her heart is so big and her authenticity is so amazing. To Catriona, I dont want to say that you'll surely get the crown because at the end of the day, this is a competition. And all the other girls are also strong contenders. But dear, no matter what happen, you will still be a winner to all of those who supports you. ❤ Viva Filipinas!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Andaming issues sa bansa natin na dapat mas pagtuunan ng pansin. Sobrang nakakalungkot lang na ung mga nasa posisyon ibang bagay inaatupag. Yung Pilipinas sobrang yaman sa kultura at likas na yaman. Di natin deserve na maexploit lamang, we deserve more. I hope that once Catriona wins and is crowned, she continues to address this issue. Let's support her all the way!
Oh my heart. This comes from a girl who is questioned too many times of her right to represent the Philippines in an international stage, who is at the receiving end of endless criticisms, and of constant bashing. I am humbled that we, Filipinos, are represented by someone who dared to go above and beyond to learn the culture, tradition, the people, the land, the heritage she wants to showcase in her quest for the crown. But this isn't about the crown anymore. This is all about the entire Philippines being read and known by the entire humanity through the narratives of this woman's quirks and experiences while navigating through the islands of our motherland. With the crown or not, Philippines, you are and will be represented well. No blood affiliation, no mastery of a Filipino language or dialect can question this woman's right to represent us in the Miss Universe. Thank you, Cat!
Define Miss Philippines. Answer: Catriona Gray. Because she is not only competing for herself, not even for the country but for each and every Filipino, young and old, of every gender, of any religion, of any creed and belief from all the reaches within the more than 7100 islands of the Philippine Archipelago. She is Miss Philippines,
@@rascakdimarasigan2083 yeah, thats why I said more than 7100 because officially it was 7107 before the advent of more advanced technology that allowed us to do more accurating mapping
The parade scene where Ms. Catriona was dancing was shot at my home city Koronadal during the annual Tnalak festival. Thank you Ms. Gray for showing the beauty and culture of our beloved South Cotabato and Mindanao. Madamo gid nga salamat!! 😊😊😊
Am i the only one? That feeling na proud na proud ka sa pagiging pinoy watching these? Shame on me na namulat na sa kultura na mas "IN" ang mga imported oppa at momoland, but this woman? She inspires us; enlighten us with values of patriotism...it hurts fil-aussie sya pero ako na full blooded pinoy? Mas pinoy pa sya sa karamihan sa atin 😳... never pang nagkaroon ang pinas ng representative na ganyan ka passionate, thanks Cat! All the best and luck!👏👏👏
Iba't iba na ang lahi natin tsaka dugo nabahiran na hindi na pure Filipino kaya karamihan rin namulat na sa ibang kagustuhan. Pero may iba rin naman na gustong gusto ang kulturang pilipino. Aminin man natin o hindi nag iba na nga. This is the modern world. This is the new generation. Nakakalungkot rin rare na ang values of patriotism. Good 'ol days...Nakakamiss yung noon...
This is how you do it. Understanding the culture, learning its origins, and experiencing and immersing yourself in it. And finally sharing it with the world, in a respectful and classy way. Before, the concept of beauty pageants just sounded superficial to me but what Catriona has done here is so much more than showcasing “what beauty is”, she has taken the time to learn about her heritage and roots and bring light to the whole world about the Philippines. And that- that is such beauty. What an inspiration!
I'm teary-eyed. No Filipina Queen had ever showcased our culture and art like you do. I wish for your success in the MU competition so can be the voice of culture for the entire universe. 🇵🇭❤👸#CatGanern #CatrionaParaSaKorona #MissUniverse #MissUniverse2018
Dahil sa kanya nagkaroon ng higher standards on how ladies speak sa kanilang mga intros, sa 2019MU. Lalong tataas ang standards ngayon dahil magkakaroon na ng paghuhugutang ng kanilng mga gustong advocacy.
Shocks. Goosebumps 😂 what ever happens in the competition you're already my queen. Sa lahat ng sumali at pinadala ng Philippines sa ms. universe sayo talaga ako na super amaze. i dont know pero there's something in you eh.. love you cath.
Me too. Yung introduction, with that ancient culning, along with those scene na nasa bangka siya, plus yung magagandang water lilies. Perfect! TAPOS YUNG COSTUME, LAHAT NALANG, ANG GANDA!
I really believe that Catriona should be Miss Universe, not because she's Miss Philippines, but because she deserves it! I mean, who does this? Who puts this level of thought and effort into an international pageant?! Not that many. This is amazing.
My family moved to Canada from Manila when I was four years old. Although I watched TFC and GMA with them whenever I was at home, ate filipino dishes, and spoke in tagalog, I never really learned anything about the filipino history and culture aside from that. Catriona, if you're reading this, I along with other filipinos who didn't learn much about our heritage, thank you so much for educating us and uncovering our roots. Seeing and learning about our history, culture, beliefs, etc. makes us so proud to be filipino. You are bringing filipinos all across the world together! We appreciate and love you so much!
This is what a real representative of our country must be. the research their team did, the experience they need to feel and share to everyone, are truly how nationalism has to be promoted. Congrats to the team. This is very inspiring to watch Cat on the coronation night and to her other journeys in the future.... Maraming salamat 💙❤️💛
I've never followed any queen before but ever since you won Bb. Pilipinas I just fell in love with how humble and sincere you are. From the way you respond to questions to the videos you posted about your national costume, all I can say is.. respect to you! Good luck on your journey! Win or lose you are a real queen! ❤
WE DON’T DESERVE HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS GIRL INSIDE AND OUT and MORE. This is the true definition of a beauty queen. Complete package from top to bottom. The Miss Universe Org cannot not have her to be their new queen. She’s indeed a force to he reckoned with. ♥️🙌🏻😍
This is so authentic and raw. Despite all the negative news about Mindanao, you bravely visited us to experience Mindanao’s culture first hand before showcasing our fabric to the International scene! This only shows that Mindanao is not as scary as other People thinks. Mindanao preserved their culture and people down there are the warmest people you will ever meet. Thank you, Cat for showcasing Mindanao’s true gem... the people and the amazing culture. Thank you for bringing a piece of Mindanao to the MU stage. Grabe! I am so proud to be a Mindanaon and proud to be your supporter. Continue to be an inspiration, Cat! Soar high in MU! We’re here to support you 100%! 🇵🇭
The negative news about Mindanao is just sensationalized by the media. Living in Mindanao for 30 years, I could proudly day that just like any other places in our country, there will always be stories that are horrifying, but mostly are beautiful stories unheard of. People have to understand that Mindanao is also a big land composing different provinces. If one area is under threat as how the news presents it, it does not mean that the other places are unsafe to visit. In my experience, generally, Mindanao is a much safer place. Conflicts only occur/arise if cultural minorities are being disturbed from their peace. I’m proud Cat finally showed this beautiful culture of ours. Just like what you said, I feel proud to be a Mindanaoan.
I'm not lying but... my Mom saw her house in this video and cried since her mom died and was buried. Where she was buried was in this video, I asked her, why are you crying? She replied I saw my home one last time, I didn't know it still survived. And I was shook af. (Skl lmao) 0:06 is where my grandma got buried, in the left corner. If you can see the small hut in the left corner near it ( at the right of the hut ) that's where she got buried. At the opposite side of 0:06 that her house. I couldn't believe this, I didn't believe my Mom till she cried. Knowing my mom's culture and life, Catriona Gray made my relationship with my Mom closer.
Pia’s hardwork and determination paid off in Miss Universe. Cat’s transcendence of what it is to be a woman defines what is a miss universe. Thanks for transcending what’s a filipina should do in a pageant season. You represented Philippines every step of the way amid the glamour and glitz, you shone the brightest. A miss universe has her own standard of beauty and uniqueness that is priceless. There’s no one like you!
The whole Philippines is so Proud of you Catriona! You’re the Queen of all Queens for my Heart! Rather in the heart of all our fellow Filipinos😘🇵🇭 Mabuhay!
Wow! I'm speechless. I feel ashamed of myself thinking that I'm a Filipino and I live in Mindanao but I don't know much about it. Salamat Catriona. You made me realize how lucky we are to live in this country. Mabuhay ka!
She's the perfect ambassador of tourism. I wish to see more inspiring videos like this. I want us Filipinos to appreciate our culture and keep nationalism in our hearts.
nah, i dont agree..Kyle jennerman is better or Caloy..they are foreigners but speak the language of the region and tries their best to speak the local language whenever they visit the place...catriona goes on blabbing in tagalog and english as if everyone understands
Is this the first time that a PH representative to MU is doing these kinds of impressive things? She really has the heart for all Filipinos of all ages, and of all walks of life. She does not just think of what to wear for national costume competition but she has the passion to know the story behind the dress. Catriona is really someone each Filipino can be proud of. God bless and good luck.
Im from mindanao watching these video means a lot to me and its priceless for me that you shared how mindanao truly is which beautiful enriched with culture and history. Thank you for showing how Mindanao and Philippines truly is.. and it makes me Proud and Happy.. and thats what a true BEAUTY QUEEN is .. im Praying for your Victory as MISS UNIVERSE 2018 because when u win these we are also winning.. A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU CATRIONA GRAY.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im crying like a baby. Her videos gave me chills! This lady is something. True enough that a beauty queen like her comes only on a decade. She is something different from others. Indeed a league of her own. She not onky represted the Philippines but each and every filipinos dream, culture, tradition, sorrows and triumphs. She gathered up all her forces to represent us well and be undefeated. She has redefined what a Ms. Universe is and should be! Cat, I and the millions if Filipinos out there will be eith you in this fight. You may come as one but we will stand as a thousand! I proclaim your victory! The Nations Victory!
As a Philippine born, this was very eye opening for me to see this cultural side of the Philippines for the first time. Amazing story telling of the Filipino pride🇵🇭
This comment 🙌. This should be the main concern of our government because our country has so much to offer. Our sovereignty should matter first before anything else. Catriona is a game changer. Once she's crowned I hope she addressess this part of our country's issues. Filipinos deserve more.
@@mhilcotheaspin6105 the change we want should start from ourselves. Sino ba nagmamarginalized? Tayo din naman. In this modern day masyadong busog sa sarili ang mga tao, pataasan ng ihi. Instead of pulling each other up we keep on pushing down whoever is below us. Nakalimutan na ng pinoy ang value ng kapatiran. Masyadong na eexclude ang mga mahihirap kaya lalong nababaon sa hirap. Sila lagi yung dehado kesyo walang maayos na pinag aralan, mahirap and list of reasons for exclusion continues. Tribal marginalization is also the same. Katutobo; mga tribo na pinagmulan ng lahing Pilipino now known as "taga-bundok" ang mga taga bundok mananatili na lamang sa bundok which is wrong, very wrong! sila dapat yung face ng Pilipinas. Sana kung palarin si Catriona na makuha ang MISS U Crown sana masmabuksan ang isip ng mga Pinoy tungkol sa issue na ito at sa mga isyung kaya naman solusyonan ng mga Pinoy may tulong man o wala ng gobyerno.
Thank you for promoting the beauty of my land Mindanao. I remember back in my highschool days we would compete at the T'nalak festival.Can't wait to go back again. Proud Mindanaoan 🥰
With all these efforts, Cat, my queen, I couldn't ask for more! Whatever happens, you are a real queen. The Filipinos love you. No one can represent us better than you.
Hi cat. I did cry on your 3rd video and still now. I cried because i felt guilty. I saw your love, interest and respect for our country's Art and Culture. I saw myself in you, whenever i study art & culture, i always felt the eager to see them in person, either i visit the place or museum. I always feel proud about Europe's Art and Culture, and have that kind of love-interest-respect for them. How come, i not know Mine? It broke my heart. How can i be uneducated? without me having an inch of idea that Mindanao & Visayas has a Unique Culture, that i am also part of, being a Filipino. Cat, Thank you for sharing us a glimps of their stories and traditions. And also for reminding me "It's not too late". I must say, your dad is right, You are the Chosen One. May God bless you on this journey. You have our Love, Support and Prayers!❤
Thank you so much Cat for featuring my province, South Cotabato 💖 Sobrang laking pride namin ito. Good luck sa prelim competition! You have the whole country behind your back
Congratulations Catriona! You are inspirationally intelligent and beautiful from the inside out. What a blessing you are and will be to the priceless Pearl of the Orient the Philippines!
I’m very impressed and I learned so many things about Philippine culture. Thank you to you and your team for championing the beauty of the arts, culture and history of the Philippines. It also shows what a beautiful person you are true and through 💕🇵🇭
I got tears. You can really feel Cat's heart and passion and love for our country. She's redefining what a true beauty queen is. And shes so much proud to represent not only the name PHILIPPINES in the MU stage, but to the entire World. MABUHAY KA our Queen Cat.
Sa mga videong ito, dito mo malalaman kung gaano ka diverse ang cultura natin. From luzon and visayas with the spanish and american influences hanggang sa mindanao with the very traditional cultures. Ang galing talaga ni Cat! Minulat mo ko sa mga cultura natin na talagang maipagmamalaki!
my lola, my mom, my fiance are all crying and moved by your sincerity, boldness and passion Catriona. God bless you! shine the light and bring the 3 stars and the sun to the universe. MABUHAY ka!
Luzon, Visayas & Mindanao ❤️❤️❤️ tinalo ang Department of Tourism ad.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Ang ganda ni Catriona inside & out, Ang ganda ng PINAS 🇵🇭 #MU2018 #MissUniverse2018 #MissUniverse #Philippines
Catriona is the only RP representative in any international beauty pageant competition to showcase how great our culture is. And for someone who is not even a full-blooded Filipina like Catriona, that is very commendable.
Thank you Ms Cat for awakening the love for coontry in all filipinos heart. And helping us to appreciate and accommodate more our own products and crafts.
I’m proud to say that I came from Mindanao but currently live in NY. I’ve been there in Seven falls, T’boli, South Cotabato, twice and it was amazing experience. Honestly, I can’t stop crying, emotionally occupied and u really broke my heart into pieces Miss Cat. U made me super proud lalo na’t maraming Filipino ayaw pumunta s Mindanao not because of the place but because of the stigma ng isip ng tao if we talk about “Mindanao”, most of Filipinos are scared but you, yes, you are Miss Cat ang ang buong team mo lakas loob pumasok at makahalubilo s knila ng WALANG ALINLANGAN. SUCH A PURE HEART AND TRUE LOVE OF OUR COUNTRY. All i can say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH at s buong team mo. Such a worthy Queen you are! Keep up the good heart and continue share ur thoughts and love to every persons around you. God bless
You can really see her authenticity as a person and her dedication to bring honor to our country. Thank you Catriona for bringing not just the crown as Miss Universe but for bringing and introducing our beautiful Filipino culture to the universe. Salute also to the people behind your journey. More than the crown, you're so blessed to have that supportive friends and of course your family and loved ones. God bless Catriona, our dear Miss Universe 2018. 😊
Cat you made me cry with this😭😭😭 Can't thank you enough for bringing and showcasing our nation to the universe. Praying and send all our loves with you🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Kung sino ang magdidislike nito, either bitter talaga or hindi TUNAY na Pilipino! Padadala natin sa Mars!Aminin natin, kay Catriona ko lang nakita ang totoong kahandaan sa pagsabak sa Ms. U. She has a pure heart. Ayan na nga may 2 dislikes na!
Yay sana hindi pinoy ang mga nag dislike. Bitter masyado. Bobo nalang ang hindi marunong tumingin sa ganda ng video at higit sa lahat ang mensaheng hatid nito
Papampam lang mga nag dislike gus2 mpansin Ayan tagumapy cla my nkapansin s knila Ang sobrang ingit nkakamatay MGA besh Kya dahadahan s pag dislike 😜😜😜
Ang galing! Everytime she goes up on that international stage, you know and you feel that it is not only her, but it’s the entire Philippines that she is showcasing.
I cried watching this... this is my favorite among the 3 videos about Philippines... I am truly proud to be a Filipino... thank’s Catriona... I hope you can make more collaboration or product endorsements in promoting these Mindanaoan products in the global community... pagyamanin ang sariling atin...
Being a Mindanaon, I am crying. Thank you so much Queen Cat for this. It's never a wrong choice for me the moment I decided to give my full support in your journey in the Miss Universe stage. You are indeed a Queen. We love you so much.
Videos like this will make you say: Sarap maging Pinoy. She may not be a full blooded Pinoy but honestly, mas tunay na pinoy pa sya at mas mhal pa niya ang Pinas kesa sa iba sa atin na walang pagmamahal sa bayan. She is a breath of fresh air. Congrats on winning Ms Universe for your advocacy.
So much respect and appreciation for this lady. This makes me love my country more and realize that there's a lot of things that we still don't know about our own land. Still it is more fun in the Philippines! Thank you Catriona the real epitome of what is Ms. Philippines all about.
As I'm watching all your videos Cat, now I appreciate and love you more😘❤❤❤ You're the definition of a great ambassador to your country 🇵🇭. with a BEAUTY, BRAIN & a HEART ❤. God bless you always QUEEN 👑🙏💞💞💞
One thing about our country, which you are now introducing to the whole world, is the diversity of our culture. What you are showing is that every corner of our country has its own unique culture. Win or lose, Cat, you are already doing a great service for our great country. Maraming Salamat Po! God Bless You! We are behind you and will support you on this and your other future endeavors. Ingat ka palagi!
Catriona is just so genuine! I love her way back her Miss World days. But upon watching this vid I even love her more. She shouldn’t just be Miss Universe Philippines. She will be Miss Universe 2018 🇵🇭♥️
A lot of people can learn from your exquisite documentation of the Tboli tribe. The tribe are intricately connected with nature, and their traditional arts are jewels of the Philippines, which can only be found in Lake Sebu. Thank you very much for inspiring us, Ms Gray, I just came back from Lake Sebu, and I am still feeling this jewel of an inspiration today, and look forward to continuing a partnership with the tribe to help with rebuilding a school, and supporting non-formal education and the preservation of the Tboli traditional arts. Bong Salamat!!! 💛🇵🇭🪷🙋🏻♂️
*Una reina maravillosa. Digna, poderosa, muy sencilla, inteligente, amable, y con corazon de oro. BELLEZA COMPLETA. Dios te bendiga, Catriona! Vamos por la corona universal!* Besos desde Cali, Colombia 😘
This made me so proud to be a filipino .. Catriona Gray you are an inspiration❤ thank you for showing the beauty of the Philippines and for representing us. No matter what the results will be on december 17 you are already a winner. Mahal na mahal ka namin❤
Raised from Lake Sebu, South Cotabato, really am so proud of how you showcased the T'nalak fabric and the culture of the T'boli tribe in the universe! This is everything for us as Filipinos, Cat! You are truly an inspiration. ICONIC! #LABANPILIPINAS ❤😍👏
I can see how sincere and determined you are, Catriona, to make us proud! You have indeed a beauty with a purpose. The three major regions of the Philippines (Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao) really celebrate in the entire universe! God bless you more, our queen! We are always here to support you all through out the way!
I rarely leave any comments in RU-vid videos but I just want to say that I love your trilogy. it is very beautiful and I can really feel the warmth of your burning passion to authentically represent the whole nation. I know that you might not read this but I just want you to know that I am deeply moved by these videos that you're showing us. I love studying different cultures and again, I really appreciate this trilogy. 'tis very well-produced and phenomenal as well as informative. I believe I can safely claim that this is the first time a Filipino delegate for a pageant has done something like this. you really went above and beyond for this and I pray that all of your effort and experience will payoff and I pray hard that you get the gift that you deserve. we're all in this together for you no matter what the outcome because we witnessed how much effort, love, and dedication you put into this. love lots and wish you all the best! 😘😘😘
Speechless Cat. Wow, just Wow! They are right. U r not just beauty and brain, but r one of the best example of a true queen. U do everything with heart and u deserve all that u have right now. Im so proud to be a filipino
After watching the third part of the trilogy, I was overwhelmed and teary-eyed! Thank you Miss Philippines Catriona Gray for this heartfelt patriotism! Win or lose, you are the Miss Universe 2018 for us, Filipinos! Good luck and God bless!
The exposure of what Mindanao really needs, culture and heritage wise, that was being passed on until this day. I was born and raised in Mindanao during my childhood days till I move abroad. What raises my eyebrows is when people makes assumptions that Mindanao is at constant war or the abu sayyaf affiliations which is not the case at all. You can see in the video the smiles on peoples faces and even the celebration that took place. We need to educate people that life is not just what you have currently and what you’re seeing right now but rather explore whats beyond and respect what you see and learn from it. This is my message to the world, the you universe rather and I thank you🤪 Go Catriona!! Thank you for sharing my heritage and i’ve definitely learnt the other cultures that we have in Luzon and Visayas from the other videos. Very resourceful indeed. 👍🏼
I was crying out loud. 1st time to witness a candidate who is so devoted and eager to promote the Philippines to the international stage. Cat no matter wat happen. I will be your supporter for the rest of your life and my life. Stay calm. Kami bahala sa votes mo. Mahal ka namin sobra 😭😭😭😭
Thank you, Catriona, for representing the Philippines with all your heart! I want to cry because my heart is still broken from those people who bashed you from NatCos Competition. They didn't know the effort that you put, they didn't see the love you have for the country by carrying the whole culture of the Philippines in the international stage. If they could only see pass through mishaps, they would know that you did all those not to impress us but to represent our nation and its rich culture.
