MANILA – Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach has officially signed a management contract with IMG.

She made the announcement while talking to host Steve Harvey during the 65th Miss Universe pageant at the Mall of Asia Arena on Monday.

“It really exceeded my expectations. It was a remarkable year. I’ve really grown as a woman. I learned so many things. This actually opened a lot of doors for me. Actually, I just signed with IMG so I am very excited about that,” she said.

Wurtzbach said she is hoping people will continue to support her even after she passes on the Miss Universe crown to her successor.

In a previous interview with ABS-CBN News, Wurtzbach said she will consider whatever project IMG will give her.

“Siyempre I will consult with them. Kung ano sa tingin nila ang bagay sa akin, I will consider that. Masaya naman ako that they considered me under their wing and that they think I was a great ambassador for Miss Universe and that they want to continue working with me. Ibig sabihin, good job ako doon,” she said.

Turning 21 signifies adulthood and independence, ushering in a change of perspective for many. Jhoanna Robles, Francine Diaz, and Xyriel Manabat welcomed this chapter with birthday photo shoots reflecting their personalities and current mindsets. 


BINI Jhoanna's Classic and Edgy Shoot

BINI Jhoanna turned 21 last January 26, marking her special day with classic, edgy, and dainty layouts representing her versatility. Capturing BINI Jhoanna in this light and bringing out her natural best was photographer Shaira Luna. 

Posing against a backdrop in the color of the year, mocha mousse, the gorgeous "master" of the Nation's Girl Group first rocked a long plaid button-down with a matching skirt and a bandeau. Stylist Ica Villanueva toughened up the look with studded brown knee-high boots. 

BINI Jhoanna elevated the timeless little black bubble dress with black studded knee-high boots in another layout. Her last look had her showcasing an angelic aura in an all-white ensemble with ruffled detailing. Earthy makeup by Julius Cabanisas and cascading wavy hair by Cristine Benoman served as universally appealing styles that matched all her outfits seamlessly.

Francine Diaz's Fine, Fresh, and Fierce Shoot 

Francine Diaz recently marked a career milestone with the movie My Future You, for which she was nominated as Best Actress at the Metro Manila Film Festival. Now, she has entered a new chapter as she turned 21 last January 27. "Unlocked: 21 and all that comes with it," she captioned an Instagram post. "Grateful for every moment that brought me here."

Simple yet impactful, Francine's photo shoot highlighted her classic beauty and effortless flair in front of the camera. Her layouts began with a clean and chic casual look, clad in a basic white tank top and black pants. She glammed things up with an intricate strapless party dress. She then took her look up a notch with a fierce ensemble: a black long-sleeved top with sheer sleeves, a silver skirt, and black stockings; to match this outfit, she also pulled off a wet hair look. 

For her 21st birthday photo shoot, Francine worked with photographer Jan Mayo, stylist JRO Alarcio, makeup artist RB Chanco, and hair stylist Brent Sales. 









Xyriel Manabat's Blooming, Sultry Shoot

High Street actress Xyriel Manabat rocked different kinds of sexy in her birthday photo shoot. She first shared a series of photos where she wore a floral dress with a corset and peek-a-boo detailing. "Supernatural at 21," she captioned. 

She then transitioned to an old-world glam look, matching the dramatic set with a vintage vibe; Xyriel wore a little black dress, accessorized with black gloves, a pearl necklace, and a pair of black pumps. She wrote on Instagram, captioning a photo where she's holding a glass of red wine: "Chapter 21, and I’m feeling good."  

Finally, she shared a garden layout featuring her in a farmer chic look: a white dress cinched with a thick belt and accessorized with black boots; her beauty look was accentuated with a head scarf. "Blooming in my 21st year with bliss," she said, giving herself a pat on the back with a message to herself. "I am proud of you."  

The team that worked together to pull off these shoots with Xyriel included photographer Dave Graciadas, stylist J-Em Sta. Ana, makeup artist Justin Borlado, hair stylist Mangat Dominic, and set designer Erwin Botin.
