Filipinos with their heartfelt love and humility to each other are the best example! Also, the Philippine pride Ms Lea Salonga shows how proud she is. She wrote a letter for the amazing and stunning Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurztbach.

The Inquirer who posted the open letter for her “Backstory” column stated that Lea simply congratulates Pia and disclosed her winning and what it meant to every Filipino.

It was stated, “Allow me to first send you my deepest and most heartfelt congratulations on your win at the recent Miss Universe pageant. You have, with your victory, put a smile on the faces of every single Filipino all over the world and made them feel proud to just be Filipino.”

It can be read that Lea also talked how Pia faced the recent failures. One of it is not getting the title as the Bb. Pilipinas twice which is the way to compete for Miss Universe pageant.

Adding, “If there’s a perfect example of perseverance, training and grit, that would be you. And that is why that blue-and-silver crown sits atop your head.”

It was also stated that Filipino’s lives are affected because of her winning.

“Every Filipino on the planet will claim you as their shining star, even if they had nothing to do with the hours you spent at the gym with your trainer, sweating off whatever weight you might’ve needed to shed in order to be competitive at that high level; the minutes devoted to perfecting your posture to stand tall amongst the other ladies; the days given to learning how to walk properly in sky-high heels; or the one millisecond it took to come up with an answer to that US bases question.As far as our countrymen are concerned, you belong to everyone.”

However, Salonga also warned Pia that there will be people who will not just be happy on her success but there will be people who will look for her mistakes as she continued her letter, “Do not allow anyone to take you down even one notch, whatever happens, even if that “anyone” happens to be another Filipino.”

Lastly she said, ”This year is going to whiz by like a whirlwind, so mine the whole experience for what it’s worth. Take lots of pictures, see and do as much as you can—and enjoy yourself!”
