The smart, svelte, and stunner Michelle Marquez Dee is on a mission to regain the country’s semi-finalist placement at Miss Universe and win its fifth crown.
Her official journey to the pageant’s 72nd edition commences tomorrow, Oct. 31, as she leaves for El Salvador, where 90 delegates are expected to converge and compete.
By this time, Michelle and the people behind her have accomplished those last-minute adjustments and preparations. Her story can be compared to that of Catriona Gray, who won the Miss World Philippines 2016 title and made it to the Top 5 at Miss World. In 2018, Catriona secured the Bb. Pilipinas Universe title and eventually the Miss Universe crown.
Yes, she is mentally and physically prepared for all the pre-pageant activities, which include the ever-important preliminary round, and the coronation night on Nov. 18. As a Philippine delegate, she is in charge of every aspect of her competition journey, “from the smallest little detail to the biggest requirement,” as she put it. “I’m very grateful that the Miss Universe Philippines Organization would give me the creative freedom to really execute what I had envisioned for my journey.”
According to her, it was what “prompted and inspired” the actress-beauty queen to join Miss MUPH again and earn the right to represent the country at Miss U.
