Congratulations are in order for Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach!
Otherwise known as Miss Philippines, 26-year-old Pia was crowned Miss Universe
on Dec. 20, in perhaps the most shocking way possible after Steve Harvey
mistakenly called Miss Colombia as the winner. The world already knows where
Pia is from, but with the way she worked the stage, it’s hard not to want to
know more about her! Luckily, we have what you need to know right here!
1. She was actually born in Germany.
Although Pia grew up in the Philippines and identifies
with that country, she was born in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, as
her father is German.
2. She has been acting since she was 12 years old.
Pia joined Star Magic Talent, a modeling and acting
agency for young kids in the Philippines, 14 years ago. Her television break
came in 2002, when she starred in an afternoon TV show titled K2BU.
3. She is a fantastic cook.
Amidst being a model, actress, and TV personality, Pia
also has a Culinary Arts degree under her belt. She is a graduate of the
Professional Culinary from Center for Asian Culinary Studies in San Juan, Metro
Manila, Philippines.
4. She might be dating the Philippine president.
In April 2015, it was reported that Pia was romantically
linked to Benign Aquino, who has been the Philippine president since 2010.
Although not much else has been said about their fling, Pia reportedly said
Benign was “very fun to talk to.”
5. She has only been doing pageants for two years.
Pia’s first pageant was the 2013 Binibining Pilipinas.
She impressively claimed the first runner-up prize in her first year, finally
winning the title in 2015 that led her to the Miss Universe pageant. She
could’ve easily fooled us as a pageant veteran!
Congrats, Pia!
