Not everyone was happy with Dubai-based luxury magazine Xpedition naming Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach Woman of the Year.
Some fans questioned Pia's merit, maintaining she didn't "deserve" such.
Of course, she was hurt.
She wrote, “I noticed a few bashers questioning why I was given this award, also saying that I don’t deserve it."
“I usually don’t like answering them but I have to admit, na-hu-hurt ako pag sinasabing ‘wala ka namang ginawa.’”
She then added:
"I don't really like having to explain myself, I'm sure na notice niyo naman na tuwing may binabato sakin na issue tahimik lang talaga ako. But this time I feel like I need to say something."
"Ang saya saya ko everytime I give back in my own little way. And it hurts me when people say na wala naman akong ginawa or ginagawa."
"I've been trying to keep my head up and balance work and businesses, my personal life and even family issues."
"So to my bashers who work so hard to bring me down, okay lang sakin kung ayaw nyo sakin or iba kasi ang bet nyo. This month marks 5 years since I won Miss Universe but there are people, are organizations who still believe and trust in me and thats all that matters. Ok na ok na ko dun."
