SI Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach ang unang Pinoy sa Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. Ililinya ang kanyang wax figure sa iba pang legendary personalities sa atraksiyon sa 2019.
“When I found out, I was so excited. I couldn’t believe it! In my head, this is something only happens to big stars,” sabi ni Pia. “I’m very honored, I’m very grateful, and I can’t wait to see it.”
Sumailalim na siya sa measurement process—kilala rin bilang “sitting”—para sa kanyang wax figure, kasama ang team mula London.
“Our Filipino guests have always been very important to us and we’ve always believed we should have a Filipino wax figure, so we’re very pleased to have Ms. Pia Wurtzbach mark this milestone with us,” pahayag ni Madame Tussauds General Manager Jenny You.
“Leading up to this moment, we of course did our own research, and this is our way to showing the Filipino community living and visiting Hong Kong as well as our neighbor SEA cities that we heard them well.
“With Pia’s sweet, positive and fun personality, we really could not have imagined having anyone but her to represent the Philippines in this way.”
