When singer and model Catriona Gray competed in Thailand for the 2018 Miss Universe crown, pageant host Steve Harvey asked the would-be winner in the Top 15 semi-finals round, "If you were to write a song about your experience here [in this beauty contest], what would you call it?"

Quite easily, the smart and stunning lady, who also happens to be a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, replied, "As Miss Philippines, I've always felt the love and support of the Filipino people, and I think I brought half of my country here tonight and so I would name my song, 'Raise Your Flag,' because I stand here not as one, but as 104 million Filipinos!"
