As fans couldn't move on from the result of the recently concluded Miss Universe 2023, in which the Philippines’ bet Michelle Marquez Dee fell short of making it to the final five, Pinoy fans were given the opportunity to hear the beauty queen’s answer to the final question-and-answer portion of the prestigious pageant.

During the Monday episode of “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Dee surprised King of Talk, Boy Abunda, with her answer to the question, “If you could live one year in another woman’s shoes, who would you choose and why? ”

In less than 45 seconds, the actress-beauty queen was done sharing her take on the question and chose Apo Whang Od as someone she wanted to live with if given a chance to be in another woman’s shoes.

“If I could choose to live in any woman’s shoes, it would be Apo Whang-Od. She’s an amazing symbol of cultural preservation. She’s an amazing symbol of ageism. She has been defying boundaries and stereotypes, and that is something that I have tried to inspire everybody around me as well, which is to own your unique story, own your traditions, love where you came from, love who you’re with, and who you’re surrounded with,” she answered.

“And truly, with that unique story, you can make your country proud. You can show the universe what your country has to offer. In my case, my love for my country can shake the whole universe as well." Dee ended the answer with much impact.

Abunda was surprised and, at the same time, proud of Dee for the shocking and inspirational answer she gave and showed to everyone on national television

If only Dee was able to hold the microphone during coronation night which the fans wished she could have, she could have been part of the final three or might as well have brought home the fifth crown for the Philippines.
