MANILA – Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach had the opportunity to meet one of her possible successors, the winner of this year’s Miss Ecuador pageant.

In a post on the Miss Universe Instagram page, Wurtzbach described Miss Ecuador 2016 Connie Jimenez as a “stunner.”

“Your Miss Ecuador 2016 is definitely a stunner! You should be proud, Ecuadorians. Very well-rounded and a great personality to match. See you in Miss Universe, Connie!” the Filipina beauty queen wrote.

Wurtzbach met Jimenez during a fundraising dinner for the children of Ecuador. Prior to this, the reigning Miss Universe handed out relief packs to quake victims.

Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11's Fyang Smith and JM Ibarra are in Dubai, United Arab Emirates for The Filipino Channel's (TFC) Barrio Fiesta Dubai 2025 event, and they are serving couple, style, and travel goals during their trip. This marks JM and Fyang's first international trip and show together. Along with Darren Espanto and Morissette, the two were invited to perform for and bond with Filipinos in Dubai, making new memories and milestones together. 

Both have been generous with sharing snaps from their trip, too. As a must-try activity in Dubai, JM and Fyang went on a desert safari adventure. They were a stylish duo, clad in white, cream, beige, and brown ensembles—visually cohesive with the scenic setting. They walked barefoot on desert sand. And what's even more magical was that they witnessed the breathtaking sunset in this beautiful spot, giving them the perfect opportunity to take more stunning photographs. 

Fyang captioned a series of photos from the desert with "paradise found." JM felt the same way about the place, as he wrote, "Just another day in paradise." 





Aside from sightseeing, JM and Fyang also bonded over food. In an Instagram post, which Fyang captioned with "just us," the carousel showed them with a heart-shaped pizza, plus several snaps of them taking photos of and with each other.
