2015 Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Leave it to the Filipinos to correct a major error, like Steve Harvey’s announcement of the wrong winner in last month’s Miss Universe beauty pageant in Las Vegas.
Miss Colombia wore the crown for several minutes before Harvey came back on stage to admit he mistakenly announced the South American beauty as the new Miss Universe. But after everything was corrected, the television coverage of the live event had already ended.
So to give back Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach that lost moment at the pageant, the Philippines recreated the traditional Miss Universe Walk.

PRAHA, Czech Republic (The Adobo Chronicles) –Diamonds International Corporation (DIC), the Miss Universe sponsor that created the $300,000 crown of the Philippines’ Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is suing the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) for patent violation.
The Czech Republic-based DIC told reporters in Praha that it is suing BPCI, the local franchisee for the Miss Universe Pageant in Manila for unauthorized replication of the bejeweled Miss Universe crown.
BPCI built a float for Wurtzbach for use in the welcome and homecoming parade held yesterday in Metro Manila. The float had a giant canopy which basically re-created the crown.
DIC declined to state the amount that it is suing BPCI for.
