By Bianca Geli

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach had a meaningful conversation with Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi through a live video call on the Miss Universe Facebook page.

The two beauty queens caught up on each other's recent activities and projects amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pia spoke about her current situation in the Philippines. “We're in an enhanced community quarantine which means we're not allowed to go out, there's no public transport, and for every household there's one person who can go out for groceries, banks, and other essentials. You're given a quarantine pass. It's pretty intense here.”

She also talked about the recent trip to Indonesia where she was a judge for Puteri Indonesia, the pageant which selects the country's representative to the Miss Universe.

Zozibini then praised Pia for her continuous diligence and hard work.

“Because I just feel you have so many followers. It's nice that you see, I think, it as a responsibility to use your platform to help others and spread this positivity and light as well. And that's just incredible,” Zozbini said.

“Even many years later, you're still living it,” she added. “It's fantastic that you're doing what you're doing. We appreciate your help so much, queen!”

Pia also revealed how happy she was when Zozibini won the Miss Universe 2019 crown.

“When you won actually I was so excited and I'm not lying, I cried. Because I really felt like you had a voice, you had a message that just needed to be heard.”
