According to Manila Bulletin, Aya found out about her new title while she was on vacation abroad.

Aya, who turned 28, said she wasn’t sure if she’d still be able to compete in an international pageant: “Yun ang hindi ako sure. Hindi po namin napag-usapan ‘yung part na iyon but as of now, I just have to do my duties.” (That I am not sure. We have not talked about that part, but for now, I just have to do my duties.)
