Fans and followers of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach were saddened by the news that Pia will not be able to do “Miss Universe” back-stage hosting due to a prior commitment. Pia would love to host but a prior engagement prevented her from doing so.

On her Instagram account, Pia explained the reason why:

“my travel show was invited by the tourism board of japan to feature a festival in Fukuoka. Our working visas were released already before MUO announced the date and venue. MUO invited me to be backstage host with CHI and I really want to!

BUT it would also be impolite for me to cancel my trip to Japan. Government invitation yun. At may mga visa na kami. Sayang. If i had known sooner baka nagawan ko pa ng paraan.”

As a UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador for Asia and the Pacific, I joined a special event at the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre (TRC-ARC) devoted to the role of communities in tackling HIV stigma and discrimination against transgender people. In his opening remarks, Prof. Dr. Praphan Phanuphak, Director, TRC-ARC, welcomed Mr. Sathit Pitutecha, Deputy Minister of Public Health, Dr. Shona Wynd, UNAIDS Senior Policy Adviser. We deeply appreciate HRH Princess Soamsawali Krom Muen Suddhanarinatha, the UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador for HIV Prevention for Asia and the Pacific, for her continuous commitment and significant contribution to the HIV response in Thailand and in the region. Hoping we could all help and support more activities like this — swipe left! 💙
