Michelle Dee at Pia Wurtzbach
FEEL na feel ni Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee ang pagmamahal at 100 percent support ng kapwa niya beauty queen na si Pia Wurtzbach.
Naniniwala si Pia na deserving ang Kapuso actress na manalo sa katatapos lamang na national pageant dahil sa ipinakita nitong performance on stage last Saturday night.
Talagang ipinaramdam ng ating 2015 Miss Universe ang kanyang pagsuporta kay Michelle sa pamamagitan ng naging comment nito sa isang Instagram post ng bagong reyna.
Kalakip ang kanyang Miss Universe Philippines 2023 winning moment photo, in-explain ni Michelle kung bakit pinili niyang irampa ang black gown sa coronation night ng pageant na gawa ng sikat na fashion designer na si Mark Bumgarner.
Ang caption ni Michelle, “Mark said it best: An evening gown with restraint. In pageantry, every queen’s goal is to stand out and wow the crowd.
“One of the best ways to do that is to wear a gown that looks and feels like the ‘winning look’ for the night, full of anything that would add shimmer, shine and extravagance.
“Mark and I had a different vision. We didn’t want to go the typical ‘pageant patty’ route.
“We wanted an iconic masterpiece that would bring out my best assets and to stay true to who I am: daring, elegant, fierce – and of course in my color, BLACK,” sabi pa ng dalaga.

Pagpapatuloy pa ni Michelle, “To me, this gown symbolizes that in this life, its not about always being what everyone expects you to be.
“It’s about having restraint and choosing to stay true to yourself even if it’s so much easier to just follow what everyone wants you to be.
“That in being yourself, you will find people who will believe and see the potential within you. In choosing to be yourself, you will find enough strength and power to achieve anything you set your mind to.
“Thank you @markbumgarner for going on this journey with me! You had full reign from its sketch all the way to the MUPH stage and we couldn’t ask for a better outcome,” ang mensahe pa ni Michelle.
Narito naman ang komento ni Pia sa post ni Michelle, “YES!! Beautiful! I love how you stayed true to who you are and did not let pageant trends or chiefs dictate how you should be.
“It stood out perfectly! Please maintain that til Miss Universe! We want to see YOU. Michelle Dee.
“Dont let other ‘chiefs’ dictate how you should represent yourself. As Esther advised me before, too many chiefs ruin the fun. And at this point everyone will act like an expert, even strangers.
“It’s YOU Michelle who’s gonna be on that stage. And that’s a once in a lifetime experience. Bring the Philippines with you yes, but still be YOU,” ang kabuuang message ni Pia sa bagong Miss Universe Philippines queen.
Agad namang nag-reply si Michelle sa words of encouragement ng kapwa beauty queen, “@piawurtzbach AMEN QUEEN!!! I always find strength from your advice & you couldn’t have said it any better. I’ll take this to heart.”
Last Saturday, May 13, itinanghal na Miss Universe Philippines 2023 si Michelle sa naganap na grand coronation night sa Mall of Asia Arena kung saan nagsilbing host ang Kapuso stars na sina Alden Richards at Xian Lim.
