"I’m actively campaigning na Miss Universe and Miss Paula Shugart, I’ve been saying this many times, it’s always been her dream to host the pageant here in the Philippines. Wouldn't it be nice to pass on my crown here in the Philippines, too? Para ma-promote na rin ang tourism."
Apat na buwan ng suot ni Pia ang korona bilang Miss Universe. Naiisip na nya kaya ang panahon na matatapos na ang kanyang reign bilang Miss U?
"I don’t want to think about it (laughs). It’s emotional, it’s bittersweet. There are many things to look forward to. I’m happy. I know I’m in good hands with Miss Universe."
At dahil nalalapit na ang elections sa ating bansa, nagpaabot ng katanungan si Pia sa presidentiables.
"We’ve been asking you questions all day, what’s one question that you want to ask us right now. Parang binaligtad mo eh lagi tayo nagtatanong sa kanila ano ba ang plataporma nyo? Ano ba ang balak nyo sa bayan? Ano ang babaguhin niyo? Pero kayo? What are you expecting from us?" pagtatapos ni Pia.
