MANILA, Philippines–Pia Wurtzbach, of Cagayan de Oro City, was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2015 on Sunday night at Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
The 25-year-old professional model and culinary arts graduate was tearful and beaming as she received her crown and sash from the outgoing Bb. Pilipinas Universe Mary Jean Lastimosa.
Wurtzbach, who was also awarded Bb. Creamsilk, triumphed over 33 other competitors from across the country.
Moments before she emerged victorious, she was asked by Rep. Leni Robredo about her thoughts on Internet censorship.
“I think that we should be careful with what we post online especially our thoughts and our opinions that we don’t hurt anybody,” she said. “Especially selfies, we have to be careful with what we post, especially with our bodies and our faces. So always think before you click.”
Being one of the pageant’s crowd favorites, Wurtzbach’s answer set off a wave of applause and screams from diehard fans.
It was Wurtzbach’s third time in a row to join the contest. She was Bb. Pilipinas 2013 first runner-up and also made it to the Top 15 last year.
