MANILA – “Proud to be Pinoy!”

This was how Manny Pacquiao captioned his photo with Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach when they crossed paths at the Novotel Manila on Thursday.

Pacquiao was at the Cubao hotel following his motorcade around the Araneta Center.

He returned to the Philippines earlier Thursday after his unanimous decision victory over American Timothy Bradley Jr. last Saturday in Las Vegas, in what was likely the final bout of his career.

Wurtzbach, on the other hand, was at Novotel Manila for a press conference ahead of the Binibining Pilipinas coronation night.

She is in the country to pass on her Bb. Pilipinas crown to Sunday's winner.

It would be recalled that in May last year, Wurtzbach vowed to “avenge” the Philippines at the Miss Universe pageant after Pacquiao lost to Floyd Mayweather in the widely hyped "Fight of the Century."

"Kalma lang guys," Wurtzbach tweeted after the "Pacman" lost via unanimous decision. "Ako bahala. Babawi tayo sa Miss Universe!!"

Wurtzbach initially drew flak for her tweet, with some netizens implying that she was arrogant, and others challenging her to live up to her word.

Come December, however, Wurtzbach fulfilled her promise as she was crowned the 2015 Miss Universe, joining Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran as the only Filipinas to win the prestigious pageant.
