He posted photos of Catriona with this caption:
“I am so sorry Catriona Gray but dapat ipako sa krus ang nag-design at nagpasuot sa ‘yo ng National Costume mo.Hirap kang maglakad kasi napakabigat. Did u even do a dry run walking with it? And the artwork looks like a Grade School project! Nakakahiya! You embarrassed not just yourself but the whole Philippines with that costume!”
According to the report, Bradford even elaborated his description of Catriona’s costume.
“Para siyang kampanerang kuba maglakad na parang The Passion of The Christ na hirap na hirap…” he said in one of his comments.
Bradford was asked what was the reaction of the audience when it was time for the Philippine candidate to showcase her costume.
Was there a loud applause?
The writer said: “No! We were all shocked sa kapangitan ng NatCos niya. We all agree she has the ugliest NatCos of the night.”
He added that it was obvious that the Filipina beauty queen had difficulties in carrying her huge backdrop.
“Sa NatCos, even if you don’t win, OK huwag ka lang magkalat sa pagrampa… si Catriona, nagkalat!” the writer said, based on the article.
