Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach is adored by many of her fans and supporters because of her timeless beauty and amiable personality. In her recent guesting on ABS-CBN’s morning talk show “Magandang Buhay,” the beauty queen turned celebrity revealed that she was bullied during her younger years.
Pia Wurtzbach is of German-Filipino descent who was raised in various towns in the Philippines. According to the 28-year-old Kapamilya star, her family originally lived in Germany where she was born. As she recalled, when they flew to the country, they stayed in Cagayan De Oro while her grandparents live in Iligan City which they occasionally visit. She also experienced living in Malabon City with her family.
When asked if she thinks there was an advantage in living from place to place, she explained, “Parang ngayong iniisip ko sya, advantage naman kasi bawat lugar na yun may matututunan ka eh.”
“Comfortable ka na, ayaw mong mag-let go ng mga nakasanayan mo na pero kailangan para mag-move forward. Actually, Malaki rin yung natulong nun kasi magma-mature ka talaga,” she added.
Apparently, Pia gained many friends because of their past set-up.
She said, “Tuwing may birthday party ako, lahat ng mga nandun parang random people. May ibang taga-dito yung iba taga-doon. Iba nung high school, iba ABS, iba sa pageant. So iba-iba.”
However, having foreign blood and being visibly different has resulted in her experiencing her fair share of bullying.
She shared, “Inaasar nila ako na ano, matangkad, tsaka payat, tsaka payat. Alam mo naman yung tipikal na ano diba, yung asaran kapag bagets pa na parang ah naiiba ka.”
Despite her unfavorable experience from some of her ‘friends,’ Pia remained “confidently beautiful with a heart” as she encounters challenges in life.
