Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray graced the cover issue of Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam with a story of her journey of changing the world.

By the end of her reign, Catriona noted the opportunities to go to various schools, encouraging HIV testing for everyone, and advocating for the LGBQT+ community.
When asked by Harper’s Bazaar about her proudest achievement in her life, Catriona Gray answered: “The first is the 4th Miss Universe victory for the Philippines. Then, using the opportunity I was given to help change the world”.
She also added that, since her victory, her charity with the Young Focus in Tondo, Manila had received enough funds for the entire year of 2019.
