(@piawurtzbach)</a></div></div></blockquote><div><script async="" src="https://www.instagram.com/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>MANILA -- There&#x27;s nothing wrong with women actively competing in events such as pageants and sports tournaments, but being pitted against each other in everything else seems problematic.</p><p>Pia Wurtzbach made the statement in her guest appearance on &quot;Paano Ba &#x27;To,&quot; the online show of host Bianca Gonzalez that deals with life advice, particularly for the youth.</p><p>The topic was on women being compared not only by themselves, but also by society. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/03/22/21/pia-wurtzbach-is-first-miss-universe-winner-to-join-arab-fashion-week">Pia Wurtzbach is first Miss Universe winner to join Arab Fashion Week</a></li></ul><p>Wurtzbach stressed that there is no need for envy and comparisons as &quot;there is plenty of room for everyone,&quot; and at one point wondered aloud why this is not experienced as often by men. </p><p>&quot;Hindi naman tayo nag-aagawan ng korona, hindi naman tayo nag-aagawan ng puwesto. Hindi ka naagawan at hindi ka rin nang-aagaw,&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;Saka 2021 na, tigilan na natin &#x27;yung pagko-compare sa mga babae sa isa&#x27;t isa. Bakit sa lalaki hindi masyadong ginagawa &#x27;yun?&quot; she added. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eMbiNMeQcTs?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>Recalling her own experience, the former Miss Universe said she had to deal with comparisons by society with at least two beauty queens -- MJ Lastimosa and Catriona Gray.</p><p>Back in 2014, Wurtzbach lost to Lastimosa as Miss Universe Philippines. It was only in her third attempt in 2015 that she was able to join and win Miss Universe.</p><p>&quot;I never hated her and I know people are gonna think, &#x27;Totoo ba? Parang hindi ka nainggit sa kanya or nagalit sa kanya?&#x27; It&#x27;s not really her, I&#x27;m just hurt that I didn&#x27;t win. But it&#x27;s not that I don&#x27;t like her or I hate her,&quot; she stressed. </p><p>As for Gray, Wurtzbach said: &quot;Even though we didn&#x27;t compete in the same year, my experience was completely different from her year, pinagsasabong kami ng mga tao. Although personally we&#x27;re okay and wala, wala talagang problema... I don&#x27;t know why or who created this idea that we don&#x27;t like each other.&quot;</p><div><strong>SELF-AWARENESS</strong></div><p>Wurtzbach believes that every woman should live at her own pace, but she acknowledged that there are moments when envy and comparisons from within may happen.</p><p>&quot;You just have to remember how to pull yourself back. It&#x27;s not them. Unfortunately, it&#x27;s you. That&#x27;s the hard truth. There&#x27;s something na hindi pa para sa &#x27;yo, hindi pa time mo,&quot; she said.</p><p>She went on: &quot;You just have to enjoy your own journey. Parang hindi &#x27;yung nagmamadali ka, kino-compare mo, &#x27;O bakit siya, isang sali lang niya nanalo siya agad?&#x27; &#x27;Kaka-graduate lang niya, nakakuha siya agad ng trabaho?&#x27; &#x27;Bakit siya nakapasok doon sa school na &#x27;yon eh mas pinaghirapan ko &#x27;to?&#x27; Who are we to say that they didn&#x27;t work as hard or harder than you? Parang sometimes kasi we get caught in our own bubble and we only think of ourselves, na &#x27;Bakit hindi ako?&#x27; Pero there&#x27;s space for everyone.&quot;</p><p>Wurtzbach said feeling envious is the &quot;easy feeling&quot; to embrace, but the challenge is to admit that &quot;there&#x27;s something that needs to be worked on within yourself.&quot; </p><p>&quot;I think having that self-awareness na parang, &#x27;Saan ba nanggagaling &#x27;yung feeling mo ng inggit?&#x27; Baka hindi ka naman talaga inggit, baka ayaw mo lang aminin sa sarili mo na may kulang pa, or hindi pa talaga para sa &#x27;yo, or may kailangan ka pang i-improve,&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;I always tell myself that hindi pa kasi para sa akin, or hindi kasi &#x27;yan ang para sa akin. May kulang pa, marami pa akong bigas na kakainin, marami pa akong kailangang pagdaanan,&quot; she added.</p><p>Related video:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1646561" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
