Philippines' representative for Miss World 2016 Catriona Elisa Gray visited the Philippine Consulate in New York before heading to the US capitol, the Washington DC, for the Miss World 2016 contest.
Our kababayan in New York warmly welcomes Miss World Philippines at the consular office on 5th Avenue headed by the new Philippine Consul General Ma. Theresa B. Dixon-De Vega. The occasion is an evening of delight and beauty, especially for Filipinos who love the fanfare of Philippine beauty pageants.
In her Miss World Philippines facebook account, the Albay beauty posted some photos during the event and captioned as :
"Tonight I had the wonderful opportunity to be welcomed by my fellow Fil-Am Kababayans at the New York Philippine Consulate.
I really felt like I wasn't far from home with everyone being so accommodating, welcoming and kind.
I really enjoyed the live Q&A session along with being able to converse with everyone and find out more about NY from a fellow filipino's perspective.
Thank you everyone who made me feel so welcomed and at home! I can't wait to be back!!"
Catriona got a chance also to reunite with her Miss World Philippines friends Miss World 2014 quarterfinalists Valerie Weugmann and Miss World 2013 Megan Young.
