The glamorous days and the high-stage performances are just part of her intricate journey. But behind the grand moments, without any makeup on her face, and in the quiet moments, she found herself and her voice for change.
Voltaire Tayag, one of the leaders of Miss Universe Philippines, shared his smiles behind the cameras and the triumph for Michelle. His focus on the stages of Michelle’s preparation emphasizes her dedication and determination to be a worthy representative of the Philippines.
