CJ Opiaza and Krishnah Gravidez are overflowing with gratitude for the love and support they have been receiving from their fellow Filipinos.
According to Lhar Santiago's report on "24 Oras," Tuesday, CJ and Krishnah had back-to-back media conferences after returning from Thailand and India.
"My heart is screaming for joy, and I'm just so blessed. I'm just so blessed and really, really grateful and happy that we have our first golden crown," CJ said.
CJ was officially crowned as Miss Grand International 2024 last week in Bangkok, Thailand. She made history as the first Filipina beauty queen to receive the golden crown.
"Hindi ko talaga in-expect na maraming Pinoy na makakarating although I know that there's a lot of Filipinos in Thailand. But also it was so sudden. I know people have prior commitments, prior schedules, but then everybody adjusted. The people just made sure that they'll be there. They messaged me, they want to be in that very historic moment," CJ said.
Meanwhile, Krishnah said that she is super happy to be back home after being named Miss World Asia at the pageant held in India.
"Of course, with this title, I hope that I made the whole country proud, but I was just really enjoying every moment in India. And to be back home here, seeing all the support and the love of the Filipinos just makes my heart melt," she said.
Krishnah flew to India in early May for the pre-coronation night activities.
"Even before I stepped into India, nag-reach out na talaga sila and they were expressing their support. And when I arrived there, ang daming Filipino community. Ando'n sila with the big banner, tarpaulin, they were very warm. So when I arrived there, I didn't feel like I was away from home," she said. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
