The Miss Universe 2023 coronation is near and Michelle Dee shares her thoughts ahead of the finals.
Philippine representative Michelle Dee shares her thoughts about the Miss Universe 2023 pageant ahead of the coronation night.
In the Philippines, the grand coronation night of the Miss Universe 2023 pageant will be aired on November 19 at 9 am. This year’s host country for this prestigious pageant is El Salvador.
The preliminary competition has already come to an end and on her end, Dee is satisfied with her performance.
She did not receive the loudest cheer but she knows that the “strongest and most united bayanihan spirit” is present. She expressed, “We may not have the loudest cheers at the venue tomorrow but we’ll always have the STRONGEST AND MOST UNITED BAYANIHAN SPIRIT. [Philippine flags emojis] mahal ko kayo.”
Miss Universe 2022 R’Bonney Gabriel of the United States will pass on the crown to her successor by the pageant’s end.
Ahead of the coronation night, the PH bet expressed her thoughts and shared that she’s “never over-confident”. She can’t and will never say that she is a winner unless the crown is finally put on her head.
She added, however, that she is happy as the months of their hard work has been paid off finally. The hard work has been validated.
Her goal is not to overhype herself but to allow the hard work to speak for itself.
She said, “And my goal was really not to overhype myself, but to let that work speak for itself. And that has been showing. My team is so happy, the Philippines is so happy. At the end of the day, that’s all I want.”
As the finals nears, she admitted that she is nervous but this emotion, for her, is always an “amazing thing”. She trusts the training and preparations she did for this pageant and as for the big day, she would just let destiny take its course.
