Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray has answered Boy Abunda’s trending question on the Binibining Pilipinas 2021 coronation night.
Through Twitter, the beauty queen amused netizens as she shared a meme referencing her blooper during the Binibining Pilipinas 2021 pageant on Sunday, July 11.
As she announced the Top 13 semifinalists, Catriona accidentally pronounced Meiji Cruz’s place of origin as Venezuela instead of Valenzuela City.
“Catriona” and “Venezuela” then became trending topics on Twitter following that day.
Her blooper spawned a lot of memes on social media, and most of her fans became fond of her even more.
One netizen who called her “muning” tweeted, “@catrionaelisa no to Valenzuela! Yes to Venezuela hahaha your so cute muning! [red heart emoji]”
Responding to Boy Abunda’s much-talked-about question, Catriona shared the meme and quipped, “Ito po ang sagot ko kay Tito Boy, when it’s okay not to be okay. Char. [laughing with tears, peace sign emojis]”
