Dedma na lang si Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach sa mga bashers niya dahil siya ang sinisisi kung bakit hindi nakapasok sa Top 5 si Miss Philippines Rachel Peters sa Miss Universe 2017.
Hindi na lang pinapatulan ni Pia ang mga ito dahil wala siyang magagawa kung hindi nila maintidihan kung paano ang maging isa lang sa sampung judges ng Miss Universe.
Hindi raw mag-aakasaya ng panahon niya si Pia to explain dahil kailangang mag-move on na ang marami dahil nakoronahan na ang bagong Miss Universe na si Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters of South Africa.
Nagpadala pa ng mensahe si Pia sa bagong reyna:
“Congratulations to our new Miss Universe @demileighnp from South Africa! A well-deserved win! We can’t wait to witness your journey as Miss Universe.”
Nagpadala rin ng message niya si Pia sa pinasahan niya ng Miss Universe crown noong nakaraang January lamang na si Iris Mitternaere of France.
“To @irismittenaeremf I’m so proud of you. You had an amazing reign as Miss Universe. I’m so happy that we got along so well and I gained a friend in you.”
At siyempre, hindi kinalimutan ni Pia si Rachel na nagpakita ng confidence sa entablado. Kahit ‘di nito naiuwi ang korona, na-gain naman daw nito ang pagmamahal ng maraming kababayan natin sa buong mundo.
“And to @rachelpetersx, thank you for making us proud. Sitting on the other side, it was so nice to witness a Miss Philippines perform and have the loudest cheer in the crowd. Keep your head up. We’re all so proud of you.
“To the women of Miss Universe 2017, continue to inspire and empower like the true champions that you are. Sending love to all the ladies at Miss Universe 2017!@missuniverse”
