Pia Wurtzbach NOT SHY anymore to show REAL SELF! | PEP CHALLENGE - video Dailymotion

PEP.ph

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach took on our PEP Challenge and shared stories behind some of the photos that PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) found on her social media.  Among the photos we showed Pia was a throwback picture of hers and her look-alike batchmate whom she misses so much.  In another photo, Pia was amused seeing one of her early studio shoots with her "fearless fashion choice."  "Akala ko nun, cool yung ganyang pants. Ewan ko ba, kasi medyo gusto ko yung kakaiba yung mga outfit ko," Pia said about that studio shoot.  A bare-faced shot of hers led us to the topic of why she's no longer afraid or shy to show her real self.  "Pakita na natin, kasi yun naman ang totoo," she told PEP.ph, looking back at another photo she uploaded last year that grabbed a lot of attention.

00:00 "What do I do? I'm a bit big."

00:02 I'm not shy about it anymore.

00:03 Hey, PEPsters!

00:07 This is Pia Wurtzbach,

00:08 and I'm about to do a social media raid for PEP.

00:11 That picture is a photo that we took together

00:16 in Bodrum, Turkey.

00:17 And usually, when Jeremy and I go on vacation,

00:21 we switch off.

00:22 I know we took a picture.

00:23 But that's it.

00:24 We just took a picture for our memories,

00:27 and then we put our phone aside.

00:29 Then, we enjoy time under the sun.

00:32 We love to swim.

00:34 I posted that picture because it's been a while

00:38 since we did a beach trip together.

00:41 And also, I miss him.

00:44 Okay, that photo,

00:45 usually, I do content shoots for different brands

00:49 and high-end luxury items.

00:51 On me, that was the only copy I had.

00:54 I really took care of it so that it wouldn't crease,

00:56 so that it wouldn't get messy.

00:58 Because I needed to bank pictures for promotions.

01:01 So I said, "Give me the book.

01:03 Take a picture."

01:04 And that became one of the promotional materials.

01:07 Oh, wow!

01:09 Throwback!

01:09 We were with Pauline.

01:10 So, those were our workshop days.

01:13 And we always went to the workshop

01:15 because we were also batchmates in ABS.

01:17 And we were still babies.

01:19 Pauline is one of my best friends in Showbiz.

01:22 And we go way, way back.

01:24 As you can see, we still look alike.

01:26 I really miss those times.

01:28 And I also really miss her.

01:29 Oh, my God!

01:31 So, that's my studio pic.

01:33 Shameless studio pic.

01:34 I thought those pants were cool.

01:36 I don't know.

01:37 Because I like my outfits to be different.

01:41 And what I got,

01:43 I still don't know how to pierce it.

01:45 I still don't know how to embroider.

01:46 But as you can see,

01:47 I'm fearless in my fashion choices.

01:50 "If Beyonce can do it, so can I."

01:53 Wow!

01:54 So, actually, my wallpaper was Beyonce

01:56 during those times.

01:57 I saw her photoshoot

01:59 where she wore a crown.

02:01 I said, "Anything I do when I'm challenging,

02:04 I always say,

02:04 'Oh, if Beyonce can do it, so can I.'"

02:07 Okay, that iconic moment.

02:09 That moment was a bit blurred for me.

02:12 I didn't know where the cameras were

02:15 because a lot was happening.

02:16 But I think that was the time

02:18 that it really sunk in for me

02:20 that, "Here it is.

02:21 I got a crown.

02:22 I'm the winner."

02:23 And, "Kawai, kawai to the Filipinos there."

02:27 "Are you still there?"

02:28 [laughs]

02:29 That was probably my thought

02:31 at that moment.

02:32 Oh, yes!

02:34 That photoshoot.

02:35 So, Angelia Ong

02:36 arranged that photoshoot.

02:39 And she had the idea

02:41 to make a

02:42 Universe World International & Earth photoshoot.

02:46 So, we got everybody together.

02:48 So, we helped each other.

02:49 And then, we submitted the photos

02:51 to Harper's Bazaar Vietnam

02:53 in that moment.

02:54 So, all of the creative direction was up to us.

02:57 To Elds and BJ, hi!

03:00 And what an iconic shoot!

03:02 One for the books, for sure.

03:04 Oh, okay.

03:05 That was our wedding week.

03:07 I believe a few days before the wedding.

03:09 That was my favorite look

03:11 when I was a bit tanned.

03:12 The lighting was so beautiful

03:13 because you're outside

03:15 under the sun.

03:16 Then, I just took a no-makeup selfie.

03:19 I said, "Okay, I'll post this."

03:21 Because, you know,

03:22 you're not always looking good

03:24 and you're always wearing makeup.

03:25 I also wanted to show my side

03:27 that I'm no-makeup

03:28 at the beach.

03:29 A lot of your followers

03:31 love that about you.

03:32 That you're not afraid to show

03:33 that you're not wearing makeup.

03:34 Even your--

03:35 My belly.

03:36 [Laughs]

03:37 Yes.

03:38 No, at this age,

03:39 I'm not anymore.

03:40 I mean, maybe if you ask me

03:42 when I was still competing

03:44 like in 2013,

03:45 2014, or 2015.

03:47 Maybe, I'll be more conscious.

03:49 Especially, I'm the representative.

03:51 People can be perfectionists.

03:53 Especially, if you're representing

03:56 the Philippines,

03:57 you gotta be like--

03:58 I felt like I had to fit a mold.

04:00 Like, I couldn't, you know,

04:02 show imperfections.

04:04 Like that.

04:05 But, the trend has changed now.

04:07 We're becoming more accepting

04:09 even in the pageants now.

04:11 Body positivity.

04:12 And, there are no more

04:14 height restrictions,

04:15 age restrictions,

04:16 even gender restrictions.

04:17 So, it's inclusive now

04:19 which is great because

04:20 it's a huge relief for us

04:21 'cause we don't have to keep

04:23 trying to look perfect anymore.

04:24 And, honestly,

04:26 as you get older,

04:27 you stop caring about

04:28 "What do I do? I'm a bit big."

04:30 I'm not shy about it anymore

04:32 because it's normal

04:33 for anyone,

04:34 even athletes,

04:36 when they're in that pose,

04:38 there are folds of the skin.

04:40 So, it's normal.

04:42 And, I was like,

04:42 let's show it

04:43 because that's the truth.

04:45 Social media is already

04:47 so curated.

04:48 And then, it's also our

04:49 responsibility to show them

04:51 that bodies are real

04:52 and they change.

04:53 It changes, it stretches,

04:55 it folds.

04:56 So.

04:57 Oh, yes.

04:57 The moment of the wedding.

04:59 So, I decided to go barefoot.

05:01 I brought two heels

05:02 at that time

05:04 before I bought them.

05:05 In the end, I wasn't able to use them

05:06 because the heels would sink

05:08 in the sand.

05:09 But, I felt really comfortable

05:12 in that moment

05:13 because

05:13 that was the moment

05:14 I didn't want to care about

05:16 how I look like anymore.

05:17 Honestly,

05:18 before walking,

05:20 I was so sweaty

05:21 because it was humid.

05:22 My hair was falling down.

05:25 I was sweating.

05:26 They put a towel on me

05:28 because I was drenched in sweat.

05:30 Then,

05:31 I just spread my face.

05:32 I said,

05:33 "This is it.

05:34 I'm getting married.

05:34 Who cares about how you look?"

05:36 It's about the moment.

05:38 Actually, the moment

05:39 when Jeremy and I were facing each other,

05:42 the tide was rising.

05:44 So, it was coming in.

05:46 I mean, my gown was getting wet,

05:47 but it's a little bit wet, girl.

05:49 It's about the moment.

05:51 Oh!

05:52 The one with the Louvre.

05:53 Okay.

05:54 So,

05:54 that was a very special event

05:56 because they closed down the Louvre

05:58 just for us to have dinner there

06:01 with a brand.

06:02 So,

06:03 it's very rare for you to catch a moment

06:05 without a lot of people around you.

06:08 It was just really nice

06:09 to have that iconic picture

06:11 in front of the Louvre.

06:12 And, what's more iconic

06:14 is when we went inside,

06:15 we had dinner.

06:16 We were inside the Louvre.

06:18 I'm so lucky

06:18 because how many people will get to say

06:20 that they've experienced this?

06:22 And, that's it.

06:23 Thank you so much for watching.

06:25 I hope you guys enjoyed.

06:27 Please don't forget to give me a follow

06:28 on my socials

06:30 and also give Pep a follow

06:31 on their socials.

06:33 And, don't forget to like and share
