Recently Ms. Universe pageant 2018 held in Thailand this December announced the queen for this year. And it's no other than the representative of the Philippines, Ms. Catriona Gray. Everybody was astonished that once again the Philippines brought the crown home.
Within the length of five years two queens brought the Ms. Universe crown home Ms. Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach in 2015 and now Gray in 2018. Though Wurtzbach's win was memorable because of the error in announcement of the winner. Gray took the Philippines and the world by surprise. Every detail in her performance raised an awareness of the culture, beliefs, traditions and customs of the Filipinos.
During her Preliminary Performance same month everybody was surprised by her dress that was adapted from a character in one of the famous epic poem in the Philippines, The Ibong Adarna. Everybody was inspired to make an art for her, to her and through her since then. Other's reminisce the story and how it can relate to the pageant. One of it was me.
Like The Ibong Adarna, to truly captivate the attention and get the help of the Ibong Adarna one should show a good heart, passion, perseverance and hard work. With these, one can get the Ibong Adarna and get the result he/she wanted. Like, Wurtzbach and Gray did on their journey to Ms. Universe. As part of her success. I dedicate this art of mine to all of the Filipinos who recognize our culture, tradition, beliefs and customs, to the success of Gray in Ms. Universe, and other Filipinas in the world fighting the good fight of faith. We all show the true spirit of being a Filipina through hard work and perseverance soon we will get the desires of our heart at the right time. Congratulations to all the Filipinos out there and to Gray for winning Ms. Universe 2018.
