WATCH: Catriona Gray features Iloilo in ‘Rise’ video

MANILA, Philippines (Update 2, 2:33 p.m.) — Philippines’ representative for Miss Universe 2018, Catriona Gray, continues to promote the country’s beauty as her team released another tourism video featuring world-famous islands.

Hours before her much talked about preliminary competition performance on Thursday, Catriona and her team released a minute-long tourism video which showcased the beauty of Tanque Lagoon and Gigantes Island in Iloilo.

In her caption, Catriona sought for prayers from the public as she embarks in her Miss Universe 2018 pre-coronation night journey.

“Keep me in your prayers, laban tayo Philippines!” Catriona wrote.

The video titled “Rise” showed the 24-year-old Bicolana wearing various swimwear while frolicking in the beautiful beaches of the Philippines.

It was captured by videographer Jojo Luarca III and produced by Jojo Bragais. Justine Aliman styled Catriona during the shoot.

Catriona’s team earlier released a three-part video series titled “This is the Philippines” which promoted the rich heritage and culture of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The video series also showed explanation on the origin of Catriona’s “LuzViMinda” costume and how it was crafted.

The Filipina-Australian is set to compete against 93 other representatives from all over the world. The pageant’s coronation night will be held in Bangkok, Thailand on Monday.
