Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach (C) of the Philippines waves to the crowd during her homecoming parade in Manila, Philippines, 25 January 2016. Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach returned home to the Philippines Saturday for a weeklong visit, the first since she won the crown in December. She will attend a charity event and meet with President Benigno Aquino and other government officials during her trip. Wurtzbach is the third Filipino to win Miss Universe after Gloria Diaz in 1969 and Margie Moran in 1973. Her victory was marred by controversy when host Steven Harvey first announced Miss Columbia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner. Harvey corrected himself after Gutierrez was already crowned. She won the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas on 20 December 2015. (Photo by Mark R. Cristino/EPA)
