She said it got to a point where she was already asking herself what is wrong with her and what could be the things she lacked that people tend to look for.
“There’s been multiple points where I felt like giving up, or I didn’t feel like I was good enough, or capable enough. One of them was when I was quite young. I was 21, I was breadwinner of my parents at that time,” Catriona narrated.
She also revealed that at the time, she didn’t have any work offers. “I didn’t have any work opportunities coming in. And it just felt like I kept getting nos. Like, every single opportunity kept closing on me,” the 2018 Ms Universe titleholder said.
Cat revealed that she was starting to lose confidence in herself. “And I was just, like, ‘Is there something wrong with me? Is there something that… I don’t know, na may kulang?’ Or ‘Am I not good enough? Don’t have I anything to offer?’ Na parang, I questioned everything about myself,” Catriona said.
She started to question whether she made the right choice of staying in the Philippines.
“I questioned if I had even made the right decision to live in the Philippines at that time. And I felt like such a disappointment to my family. And it was a very hard time for me,” she said.
However, she opted to hold on to her dreams and never stopped trying until she reached her goals. Cat said that because of her failures, her faith in God grew stronger and more solid.
“It was really through strengthening my faith, which is really when my faith journey started as a Christian. That really pulled me out of that, and also I was introduced to volunteerism, which then introduced me to pageantry,” the beauty queen said.
Cat also left a message for those who are in similar situations she went through before.
“So, all of a sudden, I felt na parang si Lord was guiding me talaga. It’s just like, ‘Wait lang, anak. I have something for you. Just wait lang. Be patient lang,’” Catriona advised.

Recently, Catriona opened up about her style at beauty pageants, one that she has been doing in both national and international competitions. She addressed the issue about beauty queens copying her style, from her "lava walk," to the way that she would make a turn or a pose. She said that she does not agree with using the term "copycat" to refer to other beauty queens, but what she sees is perhaps a resemblance to her brand. “It's not mine to own,” said the Miss Universe 2018 with regards to the style that has been attributed multiple times to her.
