Before Pia Wurtzbach became Miss Universe 2015, she went through a lot of ups and downs — it was her third time joining Bb. Pilipinas when she finally won and successfully represented the country in the international tilt.

On Instagram, Monday, Pia revealed that after losing the Bb. Pilipinas competition for a second time, her she actually ran to Bangkok, Thailand.

And as she stayed in Bangkok to clear her mind, and do some soul-searching and visit numerous temples, she said that she found the luck and guidance to try once more.

"I’ve never told you about the time I lost during my second try in Binibini—this was the city I ran to," the beauty queen wrote. “I think after some soul-searching and temple visits, it gave me the “luck” and guidance to try one more time... and I guess it worked, yes?”

Pia finally won Binibining Pilipinas on her third attempt back in 2015. Moving on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant, Pia won the title and became the third Filipina in history to bring home the crown. — Kaela Malig/LA, GMA News
