[@ivyvalenzona]

after watching Pia's TED Talk; this clip has come full circle to me..bless you Pia, a truly great Miss Universe!

[@me6182]

Women like Pia never forgets her roots. She's appreciative of everything she has and had. A true queen.

[@pabloortega-baes7343]

❤❤❤

[@kayeuy4931]

Indeed!

[@ilsaramos379]

I always admire people that don't forget where they came from, how they were raised, even the struggles they went through to accomplish their dreams. Then esp. share with others that they aren't the only ones who has suffered. I've known people who are ashamed to let others know where they came from. They are too busy worrying about being accepted, having to be another person just to be accepted. Eventually, they end up not knowing who they are because they step out of character. Then when they run into issues, they seek others for support. Others then do not want to be bothered. You have to be your own person.

[@enraihauploads]

Rewatching this after the recent video of Pia opening up about her mental health struggles during her reign. Now I understand why she’s too emotional here. Thank you, Queen P for being vulnerable and for showing us that it is okay not to be okay.❤️

[@billvinsmoke3498]

I think it's all about personality. Pia's personality seems approachable, positive, with sense of humor, made other people like Esther get so close to her easily.

[@hansu2k01]

After watching her Tedtalk,I now have more appreciation to this very heartfelt moment.Salamat at pinili nilang tulungan si Pia,at salamat miss Pia dahil nagpakatatag ka.

[@missjulie218]

When she heard the name of esther, she cried like a little girl. And I'm crying, too. 😭

[@LadyRoseWarrior]

I have to admit, I didn’t like her before but she managed to convinced me how awesome she was as Miss Universe. Throughout her reign, she was just so hardworking and really represented the organization with so much grace and class. Bravo Pia and I believe you’re one of the best Miss Universe.

[@sopa0314]

@@francoruiters1280 calm down I understand her point, like her I didn't like her AS Miss Universe. Until she showed us that she is the Best Miss Universe ever in my book her warmth her kindness her authenticity is unmatched. Beautiful inside and out.❤️

[@zewey]

I cried. 😢 She really is a queen with good personality in and out. Well deserved Pia. You are the greatest MU I must say. I couldnt think if the pasts queens recognized Esther and other staffs behind the pageant. Iba talaga ang Filipina marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan. God bless.

[@redeye3843]

Zeric 0207 i think it's not about being a filipina, it's her personality talaga, mabait na bata talaga si Pia... maraming filipina beuaty queen na mga plastik lang not beautiful with a heart, but pia is very different from them, she's the true beauty queen.

😭❤️

[@Justabakaholic]

After watching Pia’s Ted Talk, everything just sinks in and makes sense so much more I have even more respect for MUO, Paula and Esther especially, for taking good care of our queens 💙

[@rrhotj]

I believe this is what separates pia apart from the others. She really had a tough life and she did everything she could to make the organization happy with her reign, despite the fact that she started her reign with so much controversy and bashing for something that was not even her fault ( the wrong winner announced scandal). She turned it into an opportunity to reach out even more. She was there to serve. When a person comes from hardship, she gets to appreciate every blessing and gets “desperate” in a positive way to always be the best in every opportunity. No wonder the people behind the organization are motivated to work for her too. I believe there is a good reason why it was reported before that by the time Pia left the organization, she left as a wealthy woman. Her year was considered as one of the most financially rewarding years of the miss universe org.

[@protocol4206]

I agree

[@cedricksblanco]

YOU WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE OUR QUEEN P. MARAMING SALAMAT SA UNFORGETABLE INSPIRATION.

After watching Pia’s Ted Talk, her outburst of emotions in this interview make sense. I now fully understand her hugot.

[@kentnoren]

Pia, that cry.. it shows how real person she is,, very genuine,, i admire how she show her emotion, very authentic..

[@capiztirzo2724]

Esther you reminded me of my first supervisor when I was new here in the U.S. She was a native of Trinidad. If not because of her unlimited guidance and kindness, I don’t think I will be successful here in New York. Irma, wherever you are right now, I will forever cherish the years we worked together.

[@mrscitrine3592]

I think she and her manager Esther really have an unbroken bond . They always are so happy to see each other

[@jbsarmiento9703]

Pia, up until now is a Queen and still relatable. Very humble and very human. I love her always. Even if she got the most prestigious title in the whole universe, she didn't lose herself.

[@ft06jg89]

Aww she is so appreciative of the people around her and that’s what makes her genuine. True queen.

[@chloekhaye6886]

She is so humble. The best Miss Universe title holder, she is truly confident with a heart. It's you Pia, u deserve the crown. U aren't just beautiful from the inside but truly inspiring to every woman following you.

[@CrislanieDelosReyes]

I think Pia was the only miss universe in the recent years whose contract was extended more than a year.

What do you mean extended? Like an extra year ? How does that work ? Sorry, I'm curious 😂💙.

Truth ...iba pa rin yung feeling nung nanalo c Pia 😃

[@burningcalmness]

Me too... Right now..

[@vadjulawakaru]

Esther thank u for taking good care of pia 😭

[@TONGANMUViiEZ]

What makes her my favorite Queen is the human-ness she brings to the crown she wore. Usually the quota is to be the personification of compusure, natural confidence, poise, and beauty when reigning as a Miss Universe; she does this, but remains very human and allows herself to be vulnerable in a way that reminds us that even a top queen is still human. That is something we usually only get when someone seemingly 'perfect' makes a mistake. We then think "theyre human after all." But with Pia it isnt in her mistakes that remind us that even the best are still human, its in her allowance of being herself, regardless of the crown she wears. Vulnerability is beautiful.

[@angienatoyn]

Yup agreed. What we got with Pia is someone who had been through the fire. She is mature, she has made mistakes in life, has experienced hardships. So she is not overly bubbly and is more a realist, but remains happy and grateful. She is not over the top, but she can can be quirky and funny. She's lived life, and to me, that's incredibly important because it makes you more compassionate and relatable. And that is really apparent with her. Doing one's very best to be strong and courageous in times of vulnerability is beautiful. Pia is a beautiful soul.

Esther Swan is the Miss Universe of all Miss Universe. She has an invisible crown that is worth more than the Miss Universe crowns they used. She was a momma to the Miss Universe. And I have no doubt that she gave that same love to Catriona when she was Miss Universe.
