FEELING ng mga Pinoy pageant fans maiiuwi ng Kapuso actress na si Michelle Dee ang titulo at korona sa pinakaaabangang Miss Universe 2023 pageant.
Bongga kasi ang ipinakikitang confidence at powers ng dalaga sa pagrampa niya sa mga aktibidad ng 72nd Miss Universe na ginaganap sa El Salvador.
Una nang nagmarka si Michelle sa Voice for Change category, kung saan naglaban-laban ang mga kandidata sa pamamagitan ng three-minute video kung saan mapapanood ang kanilang ipinaglalaban na adbokasiya.
Nitong nagdaang November 9, si Michele ang nakakuha ng pinakamaraming boto mula sa mga netizens all over the universe para sa naturang kategorya.

Pinusuan at nakakuha ng sandamakmak na likes and comnents ang advocacy video ng dalaga tungkol sa “empowerment of individuals on the autism spectrum” tulad ng dalawa niyang kapatid.
“Today, I’m about to talk about something that is very close to my heart, and that is towards autism acceptance, inclusivity, and empowerment.

“Three foundational pillars to creating a more inclusive and sustainable world. One in every 100 children is born with autism.
“I’m a sister with two incredible siblings who are on the autism spectrum, Adam and Mazenne,” pahayag ni Michelle.
Pagpapatuloy ng Kapuso beauty queen, “For years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Goodwill Ambassador of Autism Society Philippines, Southeast Asia’s largest autism NGO.
“This family, my family, has dedicated its mission to empowering and supporting individuals with autism along with their families.
“In 2015, the ASP Autism Works Program was born, and has been a beacon of hope for hundreds of neurodiverse individuals.
“We’ve opened hundreds of positions across 53 enterprises, spanning 10 provinces diversified in a myriad of industries.
“Historically, they face lower employment rates up to 80% and higher rates of social isolation than others with disabilities globally, but together, we are rewriting that narrative— these remarkable individuals have found not just jobs but meaningful careers.
“It’s a testament to what is possible when we prioritize inclusivity and harnessing the untappable potential of these individuals.
“But we focus on creating sustainable careers for them while providing these individuals with the skills, support, and opportunities to continually thrive through their career development programs, support systems, and fundamental life coaching.
“But, it doesn’t stop there—for the employers, it’s also a strategic advantage for them as well.
“Individuals on the autism spectrum possess a unique skill set making them valuable assets in various roles, from technology and data analysis to creative fields as well.
“And by championing diversity, they could lead by example to promote a diverse and sustainable workforce,” aniya pa.
Mariin pa niyang paalala, “This is not about change, this is about transformation. As we work towards the sustainable development goal of creating opportunities for all, let’s remember that we are not alone in this journey.
“We stand united with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, and together, we can build a more inclusive, empowering, and sustainable world for all.
“Let’s be the voice for those who don’t have one, let’s be the reason why millions of lives become empowered, and let’s be a true force for good, together.
“This is our voice for change, let us raise this together loud and clear as we continue to empower every individual on the autism spectrum, by giving them a chance to foster a world where every voice matters, every individual is celebrated, and no one gets left behind,” ang pagbabahagi pa ni Michelle.
Narito ang ilang reaksyon ng netizens sa entry ni Michelle sa Voice for Change category ng Miss Universe 2023.
“Before, di talaga ako fan ni MMD when she won MUPh 2023. But after viewing her Voice for a Change video, it tells a million meaningful stories. Syempre kapwa natin Filipino si Michelle Dee. Ang suporta natin ay para sa kanya sa Miss Universe 2023.”
“A lot of M.U or pageant contestants usually just picked an advocacy because they need to. I like Michelle Dee’s advocacy because it is something she really advocates and is present in her family. There’s little to no voice regarding autism and people under the spectrum like us.”
“Whatever the result is, proud ako na si Michelle nagrepresent sa Philippines dahil pinakikita niya na may class at breeding siya.
“Maganda rin advocacy niya for people with autism dahil alam mong di plastic at may pinaghuhugutan. A very good influencer.”
Ibabandera ang tatlong Voice for Change gold winners sa grand coronation night ng Miss Universe sa November 18.
