Barely two weeks before the coronation night, Miss Universe Philippines 2015 delegate Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach has already been making a big impression as she participated in the pre-show events and showed all the right angles in the photo shoots.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a very good feeling about this year, actually. So we\u2019ll see what happens\u2026 I\u2019ve been doing my homework. I\u2019m pretty confident that I\u2019m getting there as I\u2019m getting closer and closer to the competition. I can feel it already,\u201d she said in earlier interviews.<\/p>\n

Wurtzbach, along with the other 78 candidates, has been touring, filming, and rehearsing for the nearing pageant night to be held on December 20 (December 21, Philippine time) in Las Vegas, USA.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the three years that I\u2019ve tried, people are laughing at me and saying na trying hard daw ako<\/em> (that I\u2019m trying too hard). So my answer is yeah\u2026 I tried very hard because this is what I want,\u201d she further said.<\/p>\n

Posing for the camera at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, the Filipina beauty queen dazzled in the evening gown, swimwear, and glamour photography, among others. Her photos were captured by renowned photographers Matt Petit, Darren Decker and Fadil Berisha.<\/p>\n

The other activities leading to the live show are the talent show in December 13, the preview and contestant interviews on December 14, and the preliminary and national consume shows on December 16.<\/p>\n

Among the favorites <\/strong><\/p>\n
