Miss Universe Philippines 2018 Catriona Gray was left shocked after old photos of her made the rounds online claiming that she has never seen them before.
The said photos show a young Gray during the first pageant she ever joined way before she became the esteemed beauty queen that she is now.
In a previous interview in the ABS-CBN late night talk show “Tonight with Boy Abunda”, Gray first recounted the story of the first pageant she has joined as a child.
“I did have my first pageant when I was around 5 in 1999. [It was] Little Miss Philippines sa Sydney,” she revealed in the said interview.
Gray also said that she won the said pageant adding that she felt that her mother was nudging her towards becoming a beauty queen even at a young age.
And now, throwback photos taken from that pageant surfaced online and netizen gushed at how adorable Gray looked during her first pageant.
The photos show Gray wearing a pink ball gown with a crown on her head and a sash that reads “Little Miss Philippines”.
After the photos made rounds online, Gray took to her Instagram Stories to share a screenshot of the photos.
“How did you guys find this? I’ve never seen this picture before!” Gray captioned the photos.
The beauty queen even commended her fans for finding the rare photos by saying, “You guys are P.I. (Private Investigator) detective levels.”
Gray will be representing the Philippines in the coming Miss Universe 2018 pageant which will most likely take place in South Korea, Macau, or Vietnam. The final date of the pageant is yet to be announced by the organizers.
