Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach has voted for Vice President Leni Robredo as the next Philippine president.

On Instagram on April 13, Pia said she cast her votes at the Philippine Embassy in the United Arab Emirates, where Filipinos have started to vote for the country's next leaders.

Filipino voters abroad began casting their ballots for their chosen leaders on April 10 as the overseas absentee voting began.

"Got my girl boss suit on cos I’m feeling empowered today! ?

"As a first time voter, I must say that it felt so good to vote today. Emotional actually. May halong excitement & relief that I finally took my stand. Shading that little black dot felt like I was finally making a choice towards our future. I know I’m only 1 person. Only 1 vote out of millions but every vote counts.

"As I voted remotely from the UAE today, I also learned that only about 30% of ALREADY REGISTERED voters here in UAE are expected to vote. Sayang naman kung ganon ? If you’re a Filipino living abroad who’s already registered, please make time for it because your vote counts. You have one whole month to do this so there’s really no excuse not to. Plus, the process in Abu Dhabi was super seamless. ??

"Today, I am even prouder to have voted for Leni to be our next President. I’m sharing this with you dahil naniniwala ako sa kakayahan ng isang babae. Naniniwala ako at naninindigan ako para kay Leni," Pia wrote.

It would be recalled that then Congresswoman Leni Robredo asked Pia during the final question-and-answer round of the 2015 Binibining Pilipinas Grand Coronation held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Araneta City in Cubao, Quezon City.

Robredo asked Pia who was then-candidate No. 10: "Social media is now a very powerful tool of communication. Can you tell us your thoughts about internet censorship?"

Pia answered: "I think that we should be careful with our thoughts online, especially our thoughts and our opinions, that we don't hurt anybody, especially selfies. We have to be careful with what we post, especially with our bodies and our faces, so always think before you click."

At the end of the competition, Pia was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2015. Then, she later represented the country at the 2015 Miss Universe Competition held in Las Vegas, Nevada where she also won the prestigious crown.
