MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines’ own Pia Wurtzbach won the Miss Universe 2015 crown Sunday night, December 20 (December 21,Manila time), and many of her Filipino supporters, including Pia’s celebrity friends and colleagues, took to social media to express their delight.
This year’s Miss Universe coronation night was held at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. It was an eventful night, as host Steve Harvey initially announced that Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez was the winner instead of Pia.
Steve and Miss Universe have since apologized, and Ariadna and Pia have both commented on the incident.
Still, Filipinos – including the celebrities – have reason to celebrate. Not only did Pia win, but she’s the first Pinay to win the title since Margarita Moran in 1973.
Check out what the celebs have to say about Pia’s win below:
What an amazing journey and life story of pure patience, perseverance and prayer. Sincerely proud of this moment. #MissUniverse2015
