There has been a change this year as they add one more question and answer portion and Wurtzbach aces it with her winning answer.
"To be a Miss Universe is both an honor and a responsibility, if I were to be Miss Universe I would use my voice to influence the youth and I would raise awareness to certain causes like HIV awareness that is timely and relevant to my country which is the Philippines. I want to show the world - the universe rather - that I am confidently beautiful with a heart. Thank you."
No, thank you, Pia! Congratulations!
