Pinay beauty queens celebrate Pia Wurtzbach's win in Miss Universe!

By AEDRIANNE ACAR

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 ????

Miss Earth-Water 2011 and GMA News reporter Athena Imperial was so proud that the country finally took home the crown.
