Let Catriona Gray take you home

Being the newest voice on Waze enables me to share positivity to Filipinos who are on the road

Reigning Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray will literally bring you home as she has just become the very first Filipino celebrity voice for online navigation­al app Waze.

Gray was the brand ambassador for Banco De Oro, who partnered with Waze, to make her the latest addition to the voice roster. The voice of Gray is now available on the app eyeing to somehow make traffic bearable going to and fro destinatio­n.

Gray’s voice would be heard saying “Time to park the car and do the lava walk” and “In my experience, U-turns are best made slowly.”

“I am truly honored to be the first Filipino Waze celebrity voice. It has always been my passion to voice out my advocacies and spread positivity. Being the newest voice on Waze enables me to share positivity to Filipinos who are on the road—going to school, work or wherever they need to be. I want to keep them inspired and help them find their way so that we can all be happy and remain optimistic, despite many challenges such as the traffic,” Gray said.

Cecille Fonacier, BDO SVP and group head for marketing communicat­ions, is elated over Gray joining the BDO family.

“As a brand that champions Filipinos, we are proud to have Catriona as our newest brand ambassador. Now that she has chosen BDO to be her banking partner, we are excited to find ways for her to achieve the life she wants,” Fonacier said.

Sarah Rodriguez, country manager of Waze PH said that Gray is meant to make every trip enjoyable.

“Waze has always been dedicated to give its users the best driving experience possible. Now, people can make their drives even more enjoyable by letting our Miss Universe inspire them while they’re on the road.” she said.

Catriona Gray’s Waze voice is made possible by BDO. To make Catriona your daily navigator, simply go to Settings > Voice Directions > Catriona Gray.
