Catriona Gray’s Emotional Message Moves Filipinos Amid Recent Calamities
CATRIONA GRAY – With her trademark grace and conviction, Catriona Gray took to Instagram to express heartbreak and frustration over the recurring disasters that continue to test the resilience of Filipinos.
Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray once again used her voice for a greater cause, sharing an emotional message on social media in light of the recent typhoons, earthquakes, and floods that ravaged various parts of the Philippines.
The beauty queen expressed deep concern about the recurring natural disasters that continue to displace and affect countless Filipino families. She emphasized the importance of better disaster preparedness, transparency in the use of public funds, and accountability among government leaders.
“So many homes and lives devastated by the recent typhoons, earth quakes and floods sa ating bansa,” Catriona began in her heartfelt post. “The storms will always come but we can be better prepared, systems put into place to mediate or reduce the affects. How I pray that our public funds will be used with transparency and intention to protect the livelihood, safety and essential human needs of the Filipino people.”
She continued by underscoring the need for responsible leadership, particularly in addressing environmental exploitation and governance issues. “How I pray that we would hold our government accountable to how they exploit the environment to the consequence of increased risk for communities. How I pray we won’t just be glorified for being resilient when our nation is merely surviving. We deserve so much better,” she wrote.
Catriona further reminded Filipinos not to normalize neglect or complacency in the face of repeated tragedies. “I pray we’ll never settle in a place of ‘ganun talaga eh,’ wag tayo masanay. Who we put in leadership need to be held accountable to the responsibility of protecting and uplifting the lives of the nation,” she urged.
In closing, she called for unity and compassion by encouraging the public to extend help to communities still struggling after the recent disasters. “For now, let’s continue to spotlight the communities who are still in need of aid. Many communities are still cut off from fresh drinking water, submerged under water or are in need of basic needs. Kindly help me share them below sa comments so we can get awareness and relief out to them,” she appealed, tagging organizations like the Philippine Red Cross and Angat Buhay.
Catriona’s message serves as a powerful reminder of the collective responsibility to demand integrity, compassion, and action in times of crisis.
