Kinaaliwan at pinagkatuwaang lagyan ng captions ang mga litrato ni Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray matapos niyang bumisita sa Batac City, Ilocos Norte at kumain ng sikat na Ilocos empanada.
Makikita ang mga litrato ni Queen Cat sa Facebook page na "VPI Travel Ilocos". Makikitang game na game si Catriona na makisaya at makisayaw sa mga itinampok na tradisyonal na sayaw ng mga Ilokano.
At siyempre, hindi niya maaaring palagpasin ang pagtikim sa ipinagmamalaking Ilocos empanada ng mga Ilokano. Matapos subukin ang sawsawang sukang maanghang ay nilagyan naman niya ito ng ketchup.
Sa comment section, ginamit ng mga netizen ang mga pinasikat niyang linyahan at sagot sa Miss Universe pageant.
"Well you know what Steve, as a Miss Philippines, I always felt the love and support of ketchup to empanada. And I think I have ate half of this empanada tonight. So I would name a song, Raise your Ketchup. Because I eat empanada here not only one but a hundred and four million empanadas! hahaha."
"Philapins!!! Has a so much biting on this, and of course a Pinoy favorite. Now that empanada is quite daring and different i love the color i love her smile she has a sultry sultry bite."
"Hundred and four millions empanada".
"I'm for it being used in a plastic labo use but not so for paper use, because I think if people were to argue 'What about ketchup and vinegar?' Well everything is good but in moderation."
"I didn't eat the empanada as one, but as a hundred and four MILLYON FILIPINOSSS!!!"
"I ate at a school in Tondo, Manila, and their Empanada there is… it's poor and it is sad. But I always taught myself to put a sauce on it. To look for vinegar or ketchup amongst the faces of the children and I would bring this aspect when I eat empanada and see situations with a silver lining. And if I could also teach people to be grateful, we will eat have a world where delicious empanada would grow and foster and diners would have a smile on their faces. Thank you."
"Eating at the poorest areas of my country I learned that it is lack of ketchup, not vinegar, that killed their empanada."
