When statuesque stunner Michelle Dee competes in Miss Universe 2023 in El Salvador, she will have in the crowd her"lucky charm" and her No. 1 fan, no other than her mother, Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez.
Michelle revealed that her decision to enter the world of beauty pageants wasn't solely driven by the desire to wear a crown and sash; it was rooted in her commitment to making a difference, just like her legendary mother did. Aside from Melanie, other family members who will personally cheer Michelle's quest for the crown are her sister Maxine, her stepfather, and her half-brother Abraham. Michelle said some of her close friends will fly into faraway El Salvador, which is located in Central America. Among them are actress Rhian Ramos and fellow beauty queens Sam Panlilio and Maureen Montagne. Officers of the Miss Universe Philippines organization will also be present.
"I will be coming there ready, empowered, full of love and gratitude, and I hope to be the best representative of the Philippines for Miss Universe," she stressed.Michelle’s pageantry journey can be dubbed stellar and exemplary, having been crowned Miss World Philippines 2019 and Miss Universe Philippines Tourism 2022. Months of training has finally landed her the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 title.
In one of her former interviews, Michelle even admitted that she pushed to join this year’s Miss Universe Philippines competition because of the pageantry’s genuine focus on advocacy. As she competes for the Miss Universe crown in El Salvador, Michelle represents the entire country of the Philippines and, hopefully, will bring home the 5th crown.
