The Filipina-German beauty says, "My roommate and friend, May Thaw, Miss Myanmar came by my room before she left to say goodbye. I gave her my last pearl earrings to keep and remember me by. I'm so thankful to have met so many amazing woman during this journey! #MissUniverse -Pia."

The photo gained more than 2,000 comments and about 146,000 "likes" three hours after it was posted. One fan, Jhe Nastor, took note of the rapport between the two beauty queens.

"After all that happened! I pray every nation to have a good relationship with each other! Stop bashing one another instead respect views and opinions! Stop judging any of the contestants as if we know them personally because it's unfair!," he said.

Controversy hounded the recently concluded Miss Universe pageant after a mix up in the announcement of the winners by host Steve Harvey.

He had initially announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, as the winner instead of Wurtzbach. He made the correction, admitted his mistake and has since issued a public apology to the two women. — BAP, GMA News
