Pia-Wurtzbach-stamp-Philippines-l

Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is a Filipino-German actress, model and beauty pageant titleholder. She was the Philippine representative for the 2015 Miss Universe.

The stamp, which shows Wurtzbach’s winning moment in the pageant in her royal blue Albert Andrada gown, will feature a special embellishment called “tactile glittery texture embossed” to “enhance the important look and feel of the stamps”. The glitters are placed on Wurtzbach’s crown.

PHLPost hopes to launch the stamps this month once it acquires the approval and permission from Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. and the Miss Universe Organization.

“The Philippine Postal Corp. takes pride in honouring our very own Ms Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach by immortalising her with a postage stamp as the third Filipina to win the prestigious and much coveted Miss Universe crown”, Postmaster General Joel Otarra said.
