Video of the Day: Pia Wurtzbach plays Pokemon Go in NYC

MANILA, Philippines - Even our very own Miss Universe has caught the Pokemon Go fever!

A self confessed gamer who also enjoys playing "Final Fantasy" and "Tekken," Pia Wurtzbach went live on Facebook to show herself getting hooked on the latest Pokemon Go app.

"Hi guys. I’m about to go to a movie premiere but I still have time, I got ready quite early… So in the meantime, I’ll be playing Pokemon Go... right here in the streets of New York, why not?” she said on the video before starting to play the app.

She then proceeded to walk to see if she can catch some. At one point in the clip, she came across a fan who wanted to take a picture with her. The queen gladly granted his request saying, “Sure, let me just catch this Pokemon. It’s a matter of importance.”

By the end of the video, Wurtzbach was able to catch four.
