Pia Wurtzbach continues to make her mark on the international fashion scene as she graces the cover of a magazine in Singapore.
The former Miss Universe is featured on Grazia Singapore, where she opened up about her struggles and successes, as well as her plans for the future.

In her interview with Grazia Singapore, Wurtzbach acknowledged the huge responsibility that comes with being a public figure, saying she always makes an effort to use her platform “to spread positivity and make a difference.”
“We should be using our influence for good and amplify important messages together. Celebrities have a powerful voice that can encourage others to also speak up for what matters. Together, we can create a better world for everyone,” she stressed.
When asked how she responds to naysayers and doubters, Wurtzbach replied: “The more you tell me no, the more I’ll fight to prove you wrong. Don’t tell me I can’t do something, because that’s the surest way for me to make it happen.”
“Nothing fuels me more than negativity, naysayers, bashers, and people who diminish my efforts and worth,” she added.
Wurtzbach rose to international fame after winning the Philippines’ third Miss Universe crown in 2015. She went on to become a book author, an HIV awareness advocate, a host, and entrepreneur, among others.
The former beauty queen broke into European fashion last year, attending shows by luxury brands in Paris and Milan. Last April, she received the Global Fashion Influencer of the Year trophy at the EMIGALA Awards in Dubai.
