1. When she did her last photoshoot for her reign and it was nothing but stunning.
2. When she spent the holidays in Hawaii with Marlon Stรถckinger and made us say, "how to be you po?"
3. But then also does things that'll make us say, "SAME."
4. Like that time she made chika and lumpia for a BuzzFeed video.
5. And answered important life questions.
6. And came through with the Jolly Hotdog obsession because, hello, it's the best.
7. When she made a makeup tutorial video and didn't fall short on sense of humor.
8. And goofiness.
9. She can rock any national costume.
10. She slays any kind of photoshoot...
11. Any kind of hairstyle...
12. And any kind of outfit.
13. She can be 95% covered and still look confidently beautiful with a heart.
14. But just like any other girl boss, she knows when to get down to business.
Wag po sana tayong mambash ng mga candidates dahil magrereflect po yan sa impression nila satin. Lahat po tayo representative ng Pilipinas ๐
15. She can serve tea for everyone else to relish.
16. And stand up for herself when necessary.

Ladies, donโt mind the little imperfections because those are the things that get noticed first. And to be noticed means to be unique.
19. When she put career before men because this isn't the 50's, guys!
20. I mean, she did a photoshoot with Kylie Verzosa and Megan Young with smizes that can crush the patriarchy.

22. And we all know she keeps her word for it, like that time she promised us the Miss Universe Crown.
Kalma lang guys. Ako bahala. Babawi tayo sa Miss Universe!!
23. When she spoke about reaching for your dreams, no matter what.
24. And finally, when she gave a message specifically for her Miss Universe Philippines successor, but inspired every single one of us as well.
It's been a great year, Pia! We ๐๐๐ you!
