Pia Wurtzbach to tackle cancel culture, suicide in new season of her YouTube series

Former Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach continues her advocacy on mental health as she hosts the second season of “Holding Space,” a YouTube series in her own channel.

The five-episode new season will stream next month. In it, Wurtzbach will be reaching out to people from all walks of life, as per her Instagram page yesterday, Sept. 28. She showed snippets of the production where she and her team went to settings such as a restaurant, a mall and a house. She even drove an e-trike.

“Some of you may have seen me roaming around Pasig, Mandaluyong, Rizal, and as far as Baguio. Talking to random people, bumibisita sa inyo, or even pumapasada ng Etrike (visiting you or even driving an E-trike) – and you might be wondering why,” she said.

“Nagikot kami (we roamed around) to talk to people about different social issues we face today that can affect our mental health,” she explained, giving a shout out to her partner organizations.

“Sana tuloy-tuloy pa natin ‘tong magagawa (I hope the we can continue doing this) in the years to come,” she said. JB
