"I think I'll be a little bit nervous right before my turn," says Catriona in the clip.
Music is one of Catriona's first loves. She has a Master Certificate in Music Theory from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. She is also an aspiring songwriter and has performed in concerts for the benefit of her charity called Paraiso Bright Beginnings Project.
Before heading to Washington for the Miss World finals, Catriona went to New York, where she visited the Philippine Consulate and spent some time with her good friend, Miss World 2014 Valerie Weigmann.
Catriona, who won the Miss World Philippines title last October 2, is competing for another win following the successful bid of Megan Young in 2013.
