Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach will be joining the list of Filipino icons featured in their own postage stamp — among them world-famous boxer Manny Pacquaio and fellow beauty title holders Megan Young, Margie Moran, and Gloria Diaz.
The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) will issue limited copies of Pia Wurtzbach stamps this April, after they get approval from the Bb. Pilipinas Charities Inc. and the Miss Universe Organization.
“The Philippine Postal Corporation takes pride in honoring our very own Ms. Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach by immortalizing her with a postage stamp as the third Filipina to win the prestigious and much coveted Miss Universe crown,” said Joel Otarra, PHLPost Officer-in-Charge and Postmaster General.
The stamps will feature a photo of Pia in her blue gown and crown, waving at the crowd when she won Miss Universe in December 2015.
PHLPost will print only 5,000 souvenir sheets of stamps, embellished with a tactile glittery texture and costing P40 each.
Only 101,000 pieces of the regular stamps, priced at P15 each, will be released.
