The beauty queen said that she sometimes feels “kilig” (excitement) when she sees fans connecting with her 2015 tweet.
Just a pahabol to this, if there's anything I want you to learn from this – it's that if something is meant for you, as long as you put in the work, nothing can stop you. Muntik pa nga ako ma-draw 'di ba? But we did it. YOU can do it. Trust your heart. 💙 https://t.co/17Gqv1EwgR

The fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao was one of the most highly-anticipated and heavily-hyped fights in the history of boxing. Mayweather won the fight by unanimous decision, with the judges scoring it 116-112, 116-112, and 118-110 in his favor. The fight was criticized by many for being a disappointment. It was more of a tactical and defensive fight with little action. But the rivalry between the fighters still persists. Just a few months ago, they were caught exchanging heated words on camera.
The fight ended, and Pia Wurtzbach shared her thoughts on Twitter. Thus coming to the phenomenal tweet, she wrote, “Kalma lang guys. Ako bahala. Babawi tayo sa Miss Universe!!” It translates to “Calm down guys. We’ll make up for it in Miss Universe”. This tweet got famous because, in the same year, she actually created history by becoming Miss Universe 2015.
