2. Binibining Pilipinas 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach

Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is the 3rd Filipina who won the title after 42 years.  was possibly the biggest name in the year 2015 to 2016 because of the controversial coronation of Miss Universe 2015. If you could remember, host Steve Harvey announced the wrong name before Pia was finally declared as the winner. No one will ever forget that. 

After winning Miss Universe 2015, Pia then proceded to pursue her advocacy on Youth HIV and AIDS awareness which she continues to do up to now. Today, Pia Wurtzbach is a successful product endorser, actress, and model known not just in the Philippines but also internationally.

The Senate has only a few days left to finish the debate and vote on the SOGIE Equality bill, which I support because it promotes love and equality for LGBTQs. There is a misconception that the bill goes against our religious beliefs, our religious freedom, but that is far from the truth. I’ve always seen our faith as an instrument to embrace our fundamental equality, before God and before our laws, and not as a license to discriminate. And if we pass this, nothing will be taken away from us; we will only have love, respect and understanding to give. It’s time to pass the SOGIE Equality Bill. #loveisallweneed 🏳️‍🌈

The fight will always be worth it. ❤ So many people today find themselves feeling like they don’t belong and/or that they haven’t found their purpose. Today at @aidswalkny, seeing the amazing contributions that @gmhc, along with the rest of the community of New York have made to people living with and affected with HIV and AIDS is a testament of how much good we can achieve when we work together, united to help others. Standing with everyone today at @aidswalkny it felt like we were a part of something and that we were advocating with a purpose. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜 If you couldn’t make it today, you can still support the cause by visiting www.gmhc.org. @missuniverse #MissUniverse
