Pia Wurtzbach ended the Philippines's 42-year drought in the Miss Universe pageant after winning the title this year. And curiously so, her victory may be one of the most controversial in the pageant's history.
This year's host Steve Harvey made a mistake when he announced the wrong winner.
The last Pinay that took home the crown was Margarita Moran in 1973.
Miss World 2013 and Marimar star Megan Young took to Twitter to show support for Pia.
Go go go @PiaWurtzbach!!!! Praying for you!!!! #ForThePhilippines ????
