Exclusive - Pia Wurtzbach sees Liza Soberano as next Miss Universe Representative!

Miss Universe 2015 winner Pia Wurtzbach had some bold words for the pageant’s fans, saying that the young Liza Soberano is fit for the competition.

According to her, Liza doesn’t even have to try.

In an Instagram post made on Monday early this week, the 2015 queen’s mentor, Jonas Gaffud, posted a photo of Soberano side by side with a photo of Miss Universe 2002 Oxana Federova.

Gafud believes that Federova was one of the most beautiful winners in the contest, and said that she looked like the Kapamilya actress.

Wurtzbach didn’t hold back with her comment to the post and said, “I agree! She really has the beauty for it. She doesn’t even need to try! Natural!”

This was not the first time that the Miss Universe 2015 winner spoke highly of the 18-year old actress, as she also said that Liza is her top choice to represent the country in the international event.

“I can think of a lot. But if I had to pick one.. Liza Soberano. She's beautiful!” she said on Twitter.

Just last year, Soberano was included in a British movie critic's list of "The 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2015."

The 18-year-old Soberano placed sixth in TC Candler's annual ranking, behind Iran's Golshifteh Farahani, "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson, British fashion model Jourdan Dunn, Hollywood actress Gal Gadot, and South Korea's Nana.

Liza was recently a hot topic for many Filipinos because of her stunning look during the 2016 Star Magic Ball that was held last week.

Although she is pleased with hearing people's compliments, Soberano said she does not want people to remember her just for being pretty.
