Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is a gracious host to the candidates and organizers of the 65th Miss Universe. In two weeks, the beauty queen will pass the crown to her successor.
Wurtzbach flew back to the Philippines for the Miss Universe 2016 slated on Jan. 30. She will be part of the pre-pageant schedule of activities mainly as presenter and host, but the current reigning beauty queen is the main reason why organizers decided to hold the pageant in the Philippines.
Wurtzbach will surely act as the gracious host for the organizers and the delegates of different countries. She will be extending the hospitality that is unique to Pinoys. Based on the publicized schedules of the Miss Universe delegates, the candidates will fly to different provinces for the different activities. Some of the provinces they will visit are Ilocos, Baguio, Cebu, and Davao.
The Philippines is hoping for a back-to-back win with its bet Maxine Medina. Last week, the beauty teased Filipino fans of her signature walk that she will use in the pageant.
Meanwhile, Miss Universe 2016 Pia Wurtzbach and her boyfriend Marlon Stockinger spent the New Year together in Hawaii. Photos and videos of the beauty queen and her boyfriend surfaced on social media showing the couple enjoying their time together in Waikiki, Hawaii. Based on the photos on their respective Instagram accounts, the two spent Christmas apart, but they spent some time together a week before that in Singapore.
Wurtzbach's hot boyfriend is a race car driver and is the first Filipino to win a formula race in Europe. He rose to celebrity status and became well-known nationwide when he started dating Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.
The two recently admitted that they are in a relationship. However, the two seldom spend time together as Pia Wurtzbach is currently based in New York City and is traveling worldwide for her duties as Miss Universe. This could be the reason they cannot spend a lot of time together.
In an interview, Marlon revealed that he feels fortunate to get to know Pia Wurtzbach on a more personal level. "It's amazing! Pia is very beautiful, of course, that is the reason why she is Miss Universe. I just feel lucky that we got to meet and we've been seeing each other," he said.
