MANILA, Philippines – Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray has spoken up about the upcoming 2022 elections. She also revealed her choice for president and vice president.
In her YouTube vlog, Catriona announced that she supports the tandem of Vice President Leni Robredo and Sen. Kiko Pangilinan ahead of the May 9 elections. The vlog launched on April 18 was entitled, "Pinuno: Para Sa Bayan."

She wants someone qualified, has a history of good achievements, has shown good public service, has a clear platform and with good values.
Finally, Catriona announced, "And my choice for president is Leni Robredo. She is the only candidate with experience in all three branches of the government. I believe one of the most competent responses during the global pandemic was under the stewardship of her Office of the Vice President."
She also added, "Above all else, of all the candidates, she’s the only one who gives me hope for change for the future that I wish to see for my country.”
Catriona also explained why she's choosing Pangilinan for vice president. She described him as a long-serving public servant, an effective legislator, and an advocate for education and the agricultural sector.
