The 'World' according to Katarina Rodriguez

-


Miss Philippines Katarina Rodriguez admits she loves music but she doesn't sing that much.

"I have a few karaoke trips and that's it!" says a laughing Katarina when asked how much she loves music, during her rousing press send-off for Miss World 2018 pageant at Annabel's in Quezon City last Nov. 8. "I listen to music but I don't really sing."

For almost two years now, Katarina is consistent in saying that her favorite song is "Everglow" by the popular British band Coldplay. "A bit of sad, happy song. It will hit you in the heart."


Since Katarina loves music, POP NEWS PHILIPPINES asked her to give her initial thoughts on several song titles containing the word "WORLD".

Katarina obliged but in one condition - that I have to sing parts of these songs to familiarize her as I introduce these titles! Challenge accepted!

In the end, Katarina mentioned an original Pilipino music (OPM) which she loves. It's called "Mundo'' by IV of Spades. I asked if she could sing that from start to finish. She says: "No." I challenged her to sing "Mundo" if she wins Miss World 2018! Katarina laughs and says: "Yes!"


The grand finals of the 68th Miss World beauty contest will be held in Sanya, China on Dec. 8. Here are 10 song titles containing the word "world'' and how Katarina relates to it.

 "Heal the World" (Michael Jackson, 1991)

 "I can relate empathy with that and if you want to help, it's because you want to connect."

 "Wild World" (Cat Stevens, 1970)

 "I think of adventure! Travel! You know just being excited! Exploring!"

"The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" (Charlie Rich, 1973)

 "Right now, I'm a big fan of this new Victoria Secret model Lorena Rae. She's all over social media. She's an angel!''


"A Whole New World" (Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle, 1992)

"That's my favorite! I sing that when I do karaoke! I think of boy and girl who are in love. They share their experiences with one another - their passions. Nakakakilig."

 "What A Wonderful World" (Louis Armstrong, 1967)

"I love that song! That one makes me very happy! It gives me a feeling of gratitude and it makes me feel gracious of everything."

"I'd Like To Teach the World to Sing" (New Seekers, 1971)

 "I think it's something that you want to listen to when you get up in the morning. Something upbeat!''


"Everybody Wants To Rule the World" (Tears for Fears, 1985)

"I think of making pasyal in Makati. I think of it as a feel-good song."

 "Around the World" (Nat King Cole, 1956)

 "Is it a romantic song also? I think you're a good singer the way you sing it. I wanna hear that song. I wanna go around the world though."

 "What the World Needs Now (Is Love Sweet Love)" (Jackie DeShannon, 1965)

"Oh! That's in Austin Powers! I can relate to that song and it's very applicable. People can learn from that by respecting one another. Imagine how the world would be like." - ROBERT REQUINTINA

And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh.

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family. "Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding. It’s just that we have been told over and over for about a year already that it would take “just one more month or two na la
