I have worked alot in the slums of Tondo Manila and the life there is very poor, and its very sad to know that fake news affect our place. As #MissUniverse I will fight for that by reading on legit news app like #SnippetMedia. Charot!

Congratulations to our new #MissUniverse2018 Miss Philippines Catriona Gray! You have made all of us so proud! 🎉 Not only are you one of the most beautiful Filipinas, you are also very kind, passionate and selfless. Hard work and dedication really does pay off! A reminder that what is on the inside matters so much more than what is on the outside. Thank you so much, Catriona! You are a true inspiration to all. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! 🇵🇭 Swipe to see a throwback photo of my husband performing with Catriona a few years ago at an event! 🖤 (Another reason I’m feeling very proud today hehe!
