Pia Wurtzbach takes pride in her Pinoy traits  

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach took time off her busy schedule on Thursday to share her Filipino pride to the whole world.

In an Instagram post, the Filipina beauty queen proudly shares a no-filter, no-Photoshop photo.

Speaking for the whole Miss Universe Organization, Pia promotes natural beauty and being true to one's self.

Pia takes pride in her skin color and physical features, which highlights her Filipino traits.

 

No filter. No photoshop. Just how the MUO likes it. Natural and fresh make up. It's all about being true to yourself now, ladies. Accept your flaws. I'm proud of my skin color, my nose, my ethnicity, my body and most of all my Filipino roots. It is what it's all about. Be proud of who you are, where you are from, what you believe in and what you look like. Don't change. The way you were raised from whichever part of the world you're from, that's who you are. That's your identity. And this is me. :) and I will not alter it one bit. My dignity is stronger than the criticisms thrown at me. ???? ? #NoHateJustLove @gerypenaso
