MANILA, Philippines – After a 42-year drought for the crown, the Philippines makes pageant history once again.
Miss Philippines and PLDT HOME DSL ambassador Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach (photo with PLDT-Smart big boss Manny V. Pangilinan) was recently crowned Miss Universe 2015 after a dramatic coronation night held at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.
Pia bested 80 women from various parts of the globe to claim the country’s third Miss Universe title. She follows in the footsteps of Gloria Diaz who won in 1969 and Margie Moran who brought home the crown in 1973.
“We could not be any more proud of our very own PLDT HOME DSL ambassadress as she embarks on this new journey as Miss Universe 2015,” said PLDT VP and HOME marketing director Gary Dujali. “Pia has been with us throughout the year as we aggressively went around the country bringing the family-sized broadband connection of HOME DSL to more Filipino homes nationwide.”
PLDT HOME DSL is the country’s No. 1 broadband with over one million subscribers. For details, log on to www.pldthome.com.
