Pia Wurtzbach reveals what she would have been doing had she not become what she is right now.
We all know the story of how from being a teen model, she entered showbiz and afterwards ventured into beauty pageants, tried three times to get the crown, and succeeded only on her third try.
We all celebrated when she brought home the Miss Universe crown, which cemented her right to be called a queen.
Nine years later, after that controversial but exhilarating night in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Pia still is regarded as a queen, regally displaying her presence on social media, print, and broadcast media.
With the majestic rooms and amenities of Nüwa Manila in City of Dreams as her backdrop, Pia poses for PEP.ph and takes on our Q&As where she also reveals the item that she always carries but has the least use for her, the historical figure she wants to have dinner with, and what should be included among the prizes of a Miss Universe winner.
