Catriona Gray spotlights Land of the Dreamweavers in ‘This is Mindanao’ video

Miss Universe Philippines 2018 Catriona Gray is sharing her magical experience in South Cotabato with the universe. 

Catriona released the third video of her "This is the Philippines" series on Wednesday and this time, the spotlight is on Mindanao. 

The Filipino-Australian beauty queen traveled to the Land of the Dreamweavers, where she met the T'Bolis and learned the culture woven into the T'nalak. 

Catriona said that she has always wanted to visit Mindanao and experience the culture firsthand. "To see that culture and that tradition has been passed down and is being kept to this day in good condition... it makes me feel really hopeful," she declared. 

She added, "I really admire how the people... they're very connected to nature. They draw all their inspiration and spirituality from nature and it's reflected in their work, like in weaving T'nalak."

Catriona was welcomed by the T'boli with a festive gathering, complete with traditional food and dancing. 

The beauty queen has been incorporating the T'nalak and other local fabrics throughout the Miss Universe competition. Her team has also created an ambitious national costume that showcases the diverse culture of the Philippines.
