The reigning Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach is having the best phase of her life, but this phase didn’t come easy to her. After being crowned as Binibining Pilipinas 2016, Pia was criticised by many for various reasons. But she did shut them up when she won the Miss Universe title. However, people always have something to say, and Pia fights back another criticism.

Recently Pia posted a long message for all her haters who accuse her of not doing her duties as the Miss Universe. The bashers claimed that Pia has not been working on her advocacy of spreading awareness about HIV AIDS because she does not post incessantly about doing so online. Pia’s reply to all the bashing was on point and was a one blow shot. She wrote, “Just to get some things straight. I haven't forgotten about my advocacy, ok? I'm so tired of people complaining that I haven't found "the cure" for HIV when clearly I said I would raise awareness. I'm not magically gonna come up with a potion that cures everything.”
Pia made sure to counter question her bashers and asked if they really understood her answer during the finals of MU 2015, and added, “I know the whole being chosen out of 79 from all over the world, getting crowned in a beautiful gown in front of billions of people is all good. But are you really getting the point of my message during the final Q&A? I said I would raise awareness. Putting the spotlight on it so we can start talking about it.”
She added that her social media updates are not to please people, but to share her excitement, happiness and moments with her friends and fans. “I just really did not like posting anything online. Why? Cos I didn't feel like I needed to. Instagram isn't part of the judges panel. Am I gonna carry my phone around with me and take every selfie, every photo I see to ease your worries? No. I don't work like that. I put my phone down and I work. And did it work? Yes,” said Pia.
Pia Wurtzbach nailed it, and again the Pinoy beauty proved why she deserves the title.
“Sometimes the plans you carry have a bigger chance of reaching a larger magnitude if you're just focused on the work. I'm good with letting people know about what I'm doing or what I plan to do. I'm a woman of my word. What I say in public is a promise. Why worry about updating everyone on social media and in the process losing the experience because you were on your phone the whole time staging photos. Now ask yourself. Did you get yourself tested? This year the numbers have gone at an all time high. But maybe that's because more people are getting themselves tested making our statistics more accurate. I can't work a miracle here. I still consider myself as a student and I'm learning more and more everyday. So before you go saying that I haven't done anything, the mere fact that you're talking about how little I am doing charity work for HIV/AIDS, isn't that awareness in itself? You're thinking about it, right? Talking about it, correct? Bashing me in the process BUT still getting the message out there.
I don't have to spell it out.
Oh and here's a bikini photo. Just so I get your attention,” concluded Pia.
