Despite not winning the fifth crown for the Philippines in Miss Universe 2023, Michelle Dee is not going home empty-handed, as she proudly shared her three special awards during the coronation on Sunday, November 19.
As one of the gold winners of the Voice for Change competition, Dee also informed her supporters through an Instagram broadcast that she also won two more awards: the Spirit of Carnival Award and the Miss Universe's fan vote.
“Panalo tayo sa fan vote,” Dee exclaimed while bringing the great news to her solid fans.
Inspired by her siblings, Dee’s Miss Universe advocacy was for autism awareness, coloring her campaign as well as her detailed national costume.
Meanwhile, she was hailed as the gold medalist for the Voice for Change category alongside Miss Angola and Miss Puerto Rico.
