Miss universe 2018 catriona gray from philippines claims crown

That's not entirely accurate. Catriona Gray, a Filipino-Australian model, was indeed crowned Miss Universe 2018, but she did not claim the crown from the Philippines. She was the representative of the Philippines in the Miss Universe 2018 pageant and won the title on December 17, 2018, at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Gray, who was 24 years old at the time, bested 93 other contestants from around the world to become the fourth Filipina to win the Miss Universe title. She succeeded Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters of South Africa as Miss Universe 2018.

Gray's win was a significant moment for the Philippines, as it marked the country's fourth Miss Universe title, with the previous winners being Gloria Diaz (1969), Margie Moran (1973), and Pia Wurtzbach (2015).
