MANILA\u2014Reigning Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach, who is to set to pass her crown to her successor on Monday (Philippine time), thanked American host Steve Harvey for a mistake he made about a year ago.<\/p>\n

During the opening portion of the Miss Universe coronation, Harvey made it a point to acknowledge the mistake he made in reading the name of the winner during the last pageant held December 2015 where he announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez instead of Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach as the next Miss Universe.<\/p>\n

Harvey poked fun at his own error: \u201cI know what you\u2019re thinking. Is that the guy from last year? Did they bring back that guy from last year? Well they did. It\u2019s me. It\u2019s been a long year. Boy I paid the price from last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you make a mistake, you just gotta keep on moving forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The American host later quipped about having \u201cstuff done\u201d to his eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the name comes up on the card, we\u2019ll get it right this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wurtzbach, who Harvey described as \u201cthe pride of the Philippines and embodies everything that the crown stands for\u201d later joined him on stage wearing a hot pink gown.<\/p>\n

The reigning Miss Universe, who revealed that she signed with IMG (owner of Miss Universe) then shocked Harvey by thanking him for a major blunder he would rather put behind him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never really got to thank you. Thank you for making me the most popular Miss Universe,\u201d Wurtzbach said.<\/p>\n

Harvey then replied by saying: \u201cThank you for making me the most famous host of Miss Universe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wurtzbach later went on by saying that she was humbled my her experience in Miss Universe and said that it was \u201cabout time to put the Philippines back on the world\u2019s stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just waiting to be recognized. Holding it here it\u2019s about time. We have so much beauty, so much to offer,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The opening portion was kicked off with a song numbers from four-time Grammy nominee Flo Rida best known for his songs \u201cIn the Ayer\u201d, \u201cLow\u201d, and \u201cZillionaire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each of the 86 candidates made final walks before the top 13 candidates were announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
