MANILA – Pia Wurtzbach believes that actress Liza Soberano possesses a beauty worthy of becoming the next Miss Universe.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Wurtzbach's mentor Jonas Gaffud posted Soberano’s photo side by side with that of Miss Universe 2002 Oxana Federova, whom he considers one of the most beautiful winners of the beauty pageant.

Gaffud then noted her striking resemblance with the Kapamilya actress.

No less than Wurtzbach agreed to Gaffud’s observation.

Commenting on his post, Wurtzbach said: “I agree! She really has the beauty for it. She doesn’t even need to try! Natural!”

Soberano is considered as one of the most beautiful stars in local showbiz.

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.

Just recently, Soberano was the talk of the town because of her mesmerizing look at the 10th Star Magic Ball.

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