Queen Pia Wurtzbach Shares Her Go-To Easy Recipes

Century Tuna brand ambassador Pia Wurtzbach wants to set the record straight that healthy eating shouldn’t be hard.

A lot of people struggle with eating healthy because they think it's too pricey and difficult. Some hold the view that healthy eating requires too much effort and that healthy food is unappealing.

It might be challenging to change our poor eating habits because unhealthy junk foods are so readily available in our society. That’s why when it comes to healthy eating, Pia makes sure that her home-cooked meals can be prepared with ease!

The Queen P shares some of her go-to recipes that she usually cooks in between her busy schedule, and it’s surprisingly easy to prepare — whether you’re going solo or with loved ones!

Tuna Pesto Pasta
If you're looking for a recipe that is easy to make, nutritious, and perfect for when you're on the go, then try one of Pia's go-to pasta dish recipe!

This tuna pesto pasta dish contains high levels of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other essential nutrients that will easily satisfy your pasta cravings and get that gourmet meal in just a few steps.

In a large pan or skillet, combine Century Tuna Chunks with its oil, garlic and pesto. Simmer until aromatic. Add cooked spaghetti with a little pasta water, and mix well to coat noodles with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper according to taste. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Serve and enjoy!

Scrambled Egg with Century Tuna
Transform your Filipino breakfast into a heart healthy meal just by adding Century Tuna to your usual scrambled eggs. Instantly adding more protein to help power you through a busy day.

Simmer your favorite Century Tuna variant with its oil and pour beaten eggs. Cook Century Tuna and eggs to preferred doneness and season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy with rice for brunch or for anytime of the day.

Tuna and Crackers
Did you also know that Pia is a gamer? On her free time, Pia also loves to slow down and pause in the moment by playing online games, and when she takes a break from playing, she grabs a can of Century Tuna and pairs it with crackers — a staple Filipino snack!

Simply pair your Century Tuna with tasty crackers, and you’ll get a sumptuous yet healthy snack that you can eat after a work-out or during an office or study break.

Made from 100% pure tuna, Century Tuna Premium Red combines the best of both worlds – a healthy indulgence that’s easy to prepare and goes well with a variety of dishes. Tuna is a good source of protein and Omega 3 DHA, which comes with a host of health benefits like better heart health and lower blood pressure. Century Tuna is also low in cholesterol and has no preservatives.

How Pia Wurtzbach Continues to Stay at her Best Self This Year

Half way into 2023 and Pia Wurtzbach continues to win the year with her recent marriage with Jeremy Jauncey and being able to balance and conquer work, family duties, and health goals.

Pia has always been vocal about her health goals as one of her biggest focuses for the year, and achieving this not only involved improving her fitness track record to feel and look her best, but also maintaining a healthy diet so she can take on this journey that she is on.

As a health advocate, Pia always chooses food that’s best for her health. Her go-to is Century Tuna. Whether if it’s for a breakfast or a snack, Century Tuna boasts a good amount of protein and Omega 3 DHA - and it’s easy to prepare and mixes well for a variety of dishes.

“I know how challenging it is for everyone to eat healthy because of many reasons. I always get so busy with my schedule and work. That is why having easy-to-make meals with Century Tuna has been the best option for me. I can simply make a quick post-gym snack, or come-up with a hearty meal for lunch or dinner,” shared Pia Wurtzbach.

Aside from maintaining her health, Pia has also prioritized her quality time with loved ones before she embarked on her new journey as a newlywed wife to her partner Jeremy Jauncey. She has always been family-centered. She treasures being a doting aunt to her niece Lara and nephew Logan and when she’s not training for a marathon, Pia always makes it a point to make the most out of her free time by bonding with her family.

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurztbach and racer Marlon Stockinger sit down in an exclusive tell-all interview with Vice Ganda this Sunday (April 2) on the second part of “Gandang Gabi Vice: The Royal Haha Highness Birthday Special.”

For the first time on television, Pia and Marlon go no-holds-barred as they reveal ‘kilig’ details about their love story and share how the universe conspired to make their paths and hearts meet.

The two also gamely participate in Vice’s challenge to know who really is taller than the other using a giant measuring stick. Will it be Marlon or Pia?

But Vice is not the only one who has gimmicks up his sleeves because Pia calls in his former opponent and co-candidate in a gay beauty pageant and challenges the two in an on-the-spot pageant showdown.

The kilig and kwela don’t end there because to cap everything off, a rare TV moment happens on the GGV stage as Marlon formally asks Pia to be his girlfriend.

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach shares,
“Through the partnership between Miss Universe and Smile Train, I am proud to continue helping children born with cleft lip and palate, giving these children and their families’ new smiles and new lives.”

“Smile Train is extremely proud of our partnership with Miss Universe.

Confidently beautiful with a heart, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach advocates for HIV awareness and testing


The Filipino pride, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach answered the Standard question during the Miss Universe Grand Pageant - Why should you be the next Miss Universe:

"To be a Miss Universe is both an honor and responsibility. If I were to be Miss Universe, I will use my voice to influence the youth and I would raise awareness to certain causes like HIV awareness that is timely and relevant to my country which is the Philippines. I want to show the world, the universe rather, that I am confidently beautiful with a heart. Thank you."


Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach called for Filipinos’ increased awareness on HIV as she winds up the Bb. Pilipinas Charity Day during her homecoming. The new Miss Universe continued her HIV advocacy in the Philippines by speaking with advocates and young people living with HIV. 


“It is shocking that the Philippines has one of the fastest growing rates of HIV infection in the world. Many of those who get infected are young people. I want to use my voice to help lift up those who are living with HIV and to bring awareness to young people who do not know how to protect themselves against this virus,” Wurtzbach says. 

The Philippines has one of the fastest growing rates of HIV infection in the world. The country is one of only nine countries globally where the number of new HIV cases has increased by over 25 per cent. Also, new HIV infections among 15-19 year old Filipinos have risen by 50 per cent over four years from 2010-2014. According to the 2013 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Survey (YAFSS) only 17 per cent of young people in the Philippines demonstrated correct knowledge about HIV and AIDS and 70 per cent of young people’ sexual interactions are unprotected.

“We welcome Pia as a new champion for children and young people who are at risk of HIV. Her influence can help end the silence against this ‘hidden epidemic’ that is happening in our midst. Young people have the right to health and survival, and that includes giving them information that they need to prevent HIV,” UNICEF Philippines Representative Lotta Sylwander says. 

In the Philippines, UNICEF is helping in the HIV response for adolescents through gathering of data and strategic information, advocating for laws that are responsive to the needs of children and young people, giving adolescents life skills and leadership trainings and helping the government, NGOs and youth networks improve service delivery to respond to the crisis.


Ms. Wurtzbach during her HIV session shared experiences and stories with young people involved in the HIV response, as well as those who have acquired the virus. By spending time with them, Ms. Wurtzbach also hopes to end the stigma against people living with HIV and encourage people to talk about HIV openly. 

“What we can do as a country is to talk about what is happening and what this means for our country and for our children. We should encourage discussion and come together to find solutions. Ordinary Filipinos like you and me have the power to stop the spread of HIV. Change should start from ourselves by knowing what HIV is, how to prevent it and knowing our status by getting tested,” Wurtzbach added. 

The Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) supports the current Miss Universe’s call to increase awareness on the rapid increase of HIV cases. Mrs Stella Marquez Araneta, Bb. Pilipinas Charities Chair believes that Wurtzbach is an excellent communicator and will be an effective agent in relaying information regarding this global issue.

“Pia can use her good communication skills to raise the alarm over the issue on HIV. She is a social figure to whom the youth can relate to easily especially in this age of social media. With all the trainings she went through when she joined Binibining Pilipinas, I am confident that she is the perfect voice for this cause,” Marquez Araneta says. 

Founded by Stella Márquez Araneta, BPCI has been a key partner in nation-building for over four decades. BPCI pursues its mission of spreading peace and love across the nation and is a fund-raising activity for projects that would benefit orphans, indigent families and other less fortunate members of Philippine society.
