She has three wishes right now: for good weather, for world peace, and for Catriona Gray to become the next Miss Universe winner from the Philippines after her.

On Saturday, Pia Wurtzbach, who won the title in 2015, rallied her followers on social media to get behind Gray.

"Praying for good weather, world peace and for Catriona to win Miss Universe!" she wrote. Referring to he fanbase, she added: "Pianatics, let’s do this. Let’s support our Miss Universe Philippines!"

Her message of support came a couple of days after Gray competed in the Miss Universe preliminaries, where she debuted her much-talked about "Lava Walk" that featured a slow-mo twirl.

It had local pageant enthusiasts and fans giddy with hope of another Miss Universe crown.

Wurtzbach was the last to do so, with the other two being Gloria Diaz (1969) and Margie Moran (1974).
