Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach and Miss Philippines Maxine Medina shared a beautiful and iconic moment right after the coronation of the new Miss Universe.
As Miss France Iris Mittenaere was crowned as the 65th Miss Universe, the girls congratulated Miss France. Meanwhile, Wurtzbach was seen eager to find Medina in the sea of girls. Once she found her, they hugged for a few minutes on stage.
The former Miss Universe was also seen whispering something to Medina and made it seem that she is comforting the Philippines' bet after it slipped the Top 3. Medina finished in the Top 6 of the competition. At the end of the video, she was seen crying and wiping her eyes.
In an interview at the after party of the Miss universe beauty pageant, Wurtzbach revealed what she said to her beauty queen sister. Wurtzbach said that she told Maxine not to worry about the bashers because she did not make a mistake in the Q and A.
Before the coronation, Medina was often criticized for her grammar and lack of substance in answering questions during her past interviews. Medina also met a lot of backlash for her answer at the Question and Answer portion of the pageant. This is exacerbated by Maxine's use of an interpreter, which she did not use when answering the question.
It was revealed that the beauty queen felt too much pressure during the competition due to high expectations from her countrymen. The most prestigious beauty pageant was held in Manila, Philippines on Jan. 30.
According to beauty queen maker Jonas Gaffud, the Philippines' bet felt that she has more chances of winning the pageant if it was held outside the country to eliminate the extreme pressure from fellow Filipinos.
