Pia Wurtzbach part of 2015 Miss Universe top 5

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines's Miss Universe journey continues.

Pia Wurtzbach is part of the final five of the 64th Miss Universe pageant on Sunday (Monday morning, Philippine time).

She is so far joined by candidates from France, Australia, USA and Colombia in the top five.

The international pageant is currently being held at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Last year, Mary Jean Lastimosa failed to enter the top five, finishing in the pageant's top 10 and breaking the country's four-year streak of landing in the Miss Universe competition's final cut.

Margarita Moran is the last Filipina to win the Miss Universe crown in 1973; Gloria Diaz is the first Filipina to win the Miss Universe title in 1969.
