Pia Wurtzbach is having a media blitz in New York City after appearing in various television shows as proof as part of her first day as the reigning Miss Universe.
Appearing on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon on Tuesday, Wurtzbach aced the pageant questions which were thrown at her by Lemon.

Lemon started by questioning how the Miss Universe can achieve world peace.

She answered coolly: “By telling people that communication is the best way to achieve world peace. I think the reason why there is war is because of conflict and that’s because of miscommunication.”

If she will be granted one wish, Wurtzbach said that she wants “contentment for everybody.” On the possibility that she would win the lottery, the beauty queen said that she would divide her winnings to her family, friends, and a charity and save some for investment.

Asked about her favorite color, Wurtzbach said it is green as it is “relaxing to the eyes.” She also said that if she were an animal, she would be a “strong” Philippine Eagle.

Lastly, Lemon asked the beauty queen who is the Miss Universe, to which she confidently answered (with a heart): Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

Also during her first day on duty as Miss Universe, Wurtzbach toured US news magazine show “Inside Edition” around her New York City apartment.

The luxury apartment, which has a view of the Big Apple’s Fifth Avenue, is among the various prizes that Wurtzbach bagged when she was crowned as the most beautiful woman in the universe.

During the tour, she showed the apartment’s living room and kitchen where she said that she doesn’t have the time to cook anymore.

“I don’t really have the time to cook although I’m a culinary graduate and I love to cook and I also love to eat,” she said.

The Filipina beauty queen also showed “Inside Edition” her royal blue Albert Andrada gown which she wore during the pageant.

In an interview, she praised host Steve Harvey for owning up to his mistake after wrongfully crowning Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez.

“When he apologized, it was very nice of him. He didn’t have to, you know? I accepted his apology. I think what he did—he admitted the mistake, he apologized, he fixed it right away. And I thought that it speaks huge about his character,” Wurtzbach said.

When asked on what she thinks about Gutierrez’s statements that the announcement mix-up was a “great injustice” for her and that she should have been named as a co-winner, Wurtzbach said that she understands where the Colombian beauty was coming from.

“If I was in her position, I’d probably feel the same way,” the Miss Universe said.
