Catriona Gray on Chelsea Manalo: I'm really proud of her
The Philippine Star
|November 24, 2024
Former Miss Universe Catriona Gray shared her thoughts on the recently concluded Miss Universe 2024 in Mexico, expressing pride in the Philippines' representative, Chelsea Manalo, despite her not advancing to the Top 12.

Chelsea, however, was also declared the first Miss Universe Asia.
"If they were asking me as a judge, she would have been an easy Top 12 pick, but it's in the judges' hands," Catriona, who was one of this year's pageant commentators, said on the sidelines of last Friday's Legacy Ball, her fundraising event for the benefit of her charity Young Focus.
"I'm really proud of her. I think she really stayed true to herself this whole journey. The pressure put on a Miss Philippines is one of a kind, especially for someone as young as her, and I think she carried herself with a lot of grace and authenticity."
