Born Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach on September 24, 1989 (age 26) in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Pia grew up in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. She is an actress, model, host, TV personality, and chef. Pia won the Miss Universe 2015 for the Philippines.
Fr. Jerome Secillano, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Public Affairs Committee (CBCP-PAC), said that Filipinos should be proud of what Wurtzbach has achieved.
“Pia Wurtzbach’s feat is something that we should be proud of. As our countrymen suffer from the onslaught of typhoon 'Nona,' let her win be an inspiration and let her message be a rallying point for everyone that beauty is nothing without a heart!” he said.
Pia is a Marian Devotee and a Certified Baclaran church goer. Ms. Wurtzbach visited a group of cloistered Nuns before her win and asked them to pray for her (pictured below from Google/AsiaNet)
First of all, thank you Lord! My prayers have finally been answered. I’ve lost count on how many times I visited Baclaran & prayed for this. She stated on her Twitter account after winning: "Thank You, Lord. Everything makes sense now. In God's perfect timing. "
