Is Miss Universe Philippines 2015 Pia Wurtzbach ready to assume beauty queen Paulina Vega's duties? The persistent and statuesque Pia, who is still stunned that she finally realized her dream of bagging the coveted Miss Universe Philippines crown after two previous attempts, is biding her time.
As avid followers of the Binibining Pilipinas pageants know, Pia competed in the 2013 and 2014 pageants, but did not win the crown. This year proved to be her lucky year. There were other crowd favorites, but as fate would have it, Pia emerged victorious in the highly anticipated 2015 Binibining Pilipinas contest.
Though the culinary arts graduate-turned model-cum-actress who hails from Cagayan de Oro City has long been used to being in the spotlight, she has gotten extra attention lately owing to her triumph. People's curiosity have also been aroused amid reports that the appealingly attractive Pia personally knows President Benigno Aquino III, whom she said is fun to converse with. Even after guesting in Presidential daughter Kris Aquino and Boy Abunda's primetime tv show, Pia was able to dodge questions on whether or not she was actually dating the President.
One thing's for certain, both personalities are very busy with their respective duties at the moment. Pia is deadest on making the most of the year and plunging into training. Pia is accustomed to working hard. At the age of 11, she has tried her hand in acting. She has also tried modeling, has had tv guestings, and has appeared in a handful of movies, including "Kung Ako Na Lang Sana" and "All My Life."
It may seem like the least of her concerns are the intrigues that are part and parcel of the world she has entered. As far as the newly crowned beauty queen is concerned, it has been a very "long journey" and she is not about to throw away the opportunity to do something big by wasting time on idle talk and other things not worth her attention. All she wants to focus on is making the most of her reign.
