As with the previous interviews, Pia was asked how she coped and moved on from her unusual crowning as the 64th Miss Universe last month.

"I'm okay now, actually. I'm very excited to start my reign as Miss Universe," she told Lemon.

Pia also said on her Miss Universe win, "We (Filipinos) take pageants very seriously, especially Miss Universe. I think the relevance is, it gives people hope."

In another clip, which was posted on the official social media accounts of CNN, Lemon asked Pia "traditional pageant questions" in a span of 45 seconds.

"You guys always talk about world peace. How would you bring about world peace," Lemon said.

"By telling people that communication is the best way to world peace. I think the reason why there is war is because of conflict, and that's because of miscommunication," Pia answered.

Lemon also asked, "If you have one wish, what would it be?"

Pia said, "Contentment for everybody."

"If you were a color, what color would you be and why?"

"I would be green. Because it's very relaxing to the eye, and it's the color of nature," Pia answered.

"If you were an animal, what would you be?"

"Philippine Eagle. Very strong."

For his final question, Lemon asked Pia: "Who is Miss Universe 2015?"
