“I'm at a loss for words really. I'm very happy obviously and I'm super excited. I always said that when I win I'm going to be the busiest queen because I'm going to make the most of the reign because I'm the first runner up in 2013 and I didn’t make it in 2014 and now I finally did get it. It was a long journey being here and I’m not gonna waste this.”
Naka plano na rin si Pia sakaling hindi sa kanya mapupunta ang korona. Ito na daw ang huling beses niyang pagsali sa Binibini.
“On my way here I was already thinking of the things I need to do to prepare I always said to myself that after this I’m going to have a celebratory meal but I think that’s not going to happen. I have to start training as soon as possible and I'm really excited I can't wait.”
At ngayong nasa kanya na nga ang tagumpay, nagpapasalamat si Pia sa kanyang mga kababayan sa Cagayan De Oro na sumuporta sa kanya.
“Definitely I want to go back to Cagayan de Oro and say thank you to everybody, they’ve been so supportive and my family, my mom is here she flew in from Boracay, that is where she lives now, she also watched me last year she was heartbroken but now, nakita ko siya kanina, alam ko she is very happy.”
Gagawin daw ni Pia ang lahat ng kanyang makakaya para maging proud tayong lahat sa kanyang performance sa Miss Universe pageant.
“Thank you Lord, siguro dahil sa mahabang journey ko sa Binibini my faith is stronger now. Talagang in God's perfect time, everything will happen and I would also like to thank my family na very supportive sa akin, my mentors who never gave up."
