For Michelle Dee’s second international pageant, Celeste Cortesi shared that she is positive that the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 will bring home the crown, based on the article in Bandera. If that happens, Michelle will be the fifth Pinay Miss Universe, following Gloria Diaz (1969), Margarita Moran (1973), Pia Wurtzbach (2015), and Catriona Gray (2018).

“Of course, I believe in her,” Celeste said, adding that she saw Michelle’s intense preparation. They are batchmates and Celeste stressed that she believes in Michelle. In 2022, Michelle also joined Miss Universe Philippines and she was hailed as Miss Universe Philippines-Tourism.

When asked about her message for Michelle, Celeste said, “I think she just needs to believe in herself and just have fun during the competition.” She also said that she would be very happy that Michelle would wear the Miss Universe crown.

“Good luck to her,” Celeste Cortesi said to Michelle Dee who will compete in Miss Universe on November 18 in El Salvador.
