Pia Wurtzbach Leads The Lighting Of The First Ever Hug-Activated Christmas Tree In The Country

With barely a month before Christmas, everyone is busy doing their last minute shopping. One of the most celebrated holidays in the Philippines is Christmas. This is the time when we reconnect with friends and have reunions with our relatives and loved ones. And during the most festive time of the year, we are fond of giving gifts to show our love to people that matter the most in our life. With all the economic crisis that we are going through right now, we have to be practical and not spend much on gifts. Miss Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach redefine gift-giving with a simple yet meaningful idea and that is by giving hugs.
Giving a hug is relatively simple but never underestimate its power to make the receiver feel warm and special. To stress on the undeniable power of hugs, Downy, the leading global fabric softener launched their #Spread100Hugs with hug ambassador Pia Wurtzbach spearheading the campaign.
