Pia Wurtzbach calls on next president to do right by LGBT community

Despite bringing pride and joy to the country, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach humbly said on Sunday, "Beauty queen lang ako."

Wurtzbach wrote a lengthy post on her Instagram page, sharing a photo from her first homecoming parade and expressed the love she has for the country. Using the #philippineelections2016 hashtag, Wurtzbach called on the next president to do right by the country and called their attention specifically to the needs of the LGBT community.

"[K]aya po may rainbow sa picture, 'wag n'yo pong kalimutan ang LGBT community," she explained. Aside from a quick greeting for Mother's Day, she mused on the idea of a motherland.

"Alam ko hindi po ako purong Pilipino pero ang puso ko ay nasa inyong lahat. Sa Cagayan De Oro pa lang naiisip ko na na naiiba ako. Marami akong gustong sabihin at malawak ang mga pangarap ko. Hindi lang sa sarili ko pero pati sa Pilipinas. Bakit ang Germany maayos? Yun po ang pinagtataka ko noong bata pa ako.

"Pinagdadasal ko po na maging malinis at makaturangan ang proseso at resulta ng eleksyon. Isa lang po akong pinagpalang Pilipina na pinagkatiwala ng Diyos para sa responsibilidad na ito." she said.

"Beauty Queen lang po ako. Wala po akong mapapala dito," she continued, "Pero sino man ang susunod na magiging pangulo ng ating bayan, binibigay namin ang tiwala namin sa inyo. Sana po 'wag n'yo kaming biguin."

Wurtzbach had earlier expressed a desire to join politics, but for the current election cycle, she disclaimed that she is not supporting any political party or candidate. —AT/ALG, GMA News
