beauty Catriona Gray, the Philippines
bet to this year’s contest.
Catriona is already in the heat of pre-pageant

and still just 18, she was featured as one of Cosmo
magazine's eight sexiest models in the Philippines.
“I still get goosebumps being labeled as Miss
World Philippines because I never planned this, it
s my first pageant ever. I started off as a model, so
it’s a different world now,” Catriona was quoted
as saying recently in an Inquirer article on her
meeting the Filipino-American community. The
pageant will be held in Washington, DC.
The last time the Philippines won the Miss
