MANILA, Philippines — Philippine bet to Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray personally explored Koronadal, South Cotabato in Mindanao to incorporate the Mindanaon detail in her national costume.

Catriona lauded how the people of South Cotabato, T’boli, kept their traditions “in such a good condition” and carried on to generations.

The video was titled “This is Mindanao: Traditions and Spirituality.”

“They’re very connected to nature and their spirituality,” Catriona said.

In her visit, the Philippine representative mingled with the people of Mindanao, experienced weaving, eating native meals and local delicacies.

Catriona, known for being passionate about Filipino fabrics and textile, told the people of South Cotabato that she loved the textiles of Mindanao and that the “international stage should see it.”

“I want to understand where I came from before bringing it to the universe stage,” Catriona said.

“I will take pride in showcasing your culture to the international stage,” she added.

To represent Mindanao in her national costume, the Filipina representative wore headpiece and brass accessories called "Pagyamanin" or enrich, which came from South Cotabato province. Her headdress and knee-high boots with embroidered designs inspired by the Inaul, Yakan, Maranao, B'laan, Bagobo, Tausug and T'nalak also represent the region.
