Here’s the reason why Pia Wurtzbach was called ‘Jollibee’ during her Miss Universe reign
Beauty queen Pia Wurtzbach revealed that her pet name during her Miss Universe reign is ‘Jollibee’ because of this reason.
Pia was hailed as the Miss Universe 2015 and became the third Filipina to win the most prestigious beauty pageant title. During a recent interview with Philippine Ultimate Showbiz Hub, she revealed that she has a pet name during her reign.
“Alam niyo ba sa Miss Universe office nung Miss Universe ako, ang pet name nila sa akin Jollibee. Sa Philippines kasi di ba ang laki ng Jollibee? So Jollibee is like our Disney. So whenever they see me they go, ‘Hey Jollibee! How are you today?’ Ako si Jollibee. So now, totoong Jollibee na ako (laughs),” she shared.
Pia also said that she is really a big fan of the Pinoy fast-food chain ever since she was a kid. Fan na ako noon pa bata pa lang ako. “In fact, I had a birthday at Jollibee already when I was a kid back in Cagayan de Oro,” the beauty queen turned actress said.
She is grateful that she is now part of Jollibee as an endorser of its tuna pie. Pia also recalled her happy memories with the fast-food chain. For her, it has been her comfort food. “Back in high school, in ABS-CBN Distance Learning Center nung bukas pa siya, sa baba nun, merong kiosk ng Jollibee and may mga tuna pie, fries, and sundae,” she added.
Pia Wurtzbach also said that she is not just merely an endorser of the Pinoy fast-food chain because it has been part of her life since her childhood, based on the article.
