The Ultimate Power Trio: Michelle, Emma, and Fahsai

Mark your calendars for May 28, because the MGI Hall in Bangkok, Thailand is about to become the epicenter of global beauty. Our Miss Universe Philippines 2023, Michelle Dee, is officially gracing the stage again—but this time, she’s holding the mic.

Michelle is hosting the highly anticipated preliminary swimsuit competition for Miss Grand International (MGI) All Stars. And because real queens always travel in packs, she’s not doing it alone. Joining her co-hosting duties are none other than Emma Mary Tiglao (Miss Grand International 2025) and Thailand’s own beloved Paweensuda “Fahsai” Drouin (Miss Universe 2019 Top 5).

Can we just take a second to appreciate the sheer amount of charisma, poise, and stage presence this trio is going to bring? The swimsuit prelims are always high-energy, but with these three leading the charge, expect the energy levels to be absolutely off the charts.

More Than Just a Pretty Face: The Continuous Reign of Michelle Dee

We all know MMD didn’t just walk the Miss Universe 2023 stage; she owned it. Landing a well-deserved spot in the Top 10, taking home the Best National Costume, and winning the Voice for Change Gold Award, she proved to the world that she is a force to be reckoned with.

But what makes Michelle so magnetic to millions of fans worldwide isn’t just the way she walks a runway—it’s her heart. She’s been using her massive platform to make real, tangible changes. From her fierce, tireless advocacy for autism awareness and inclusivity to her work leading The Inner Peace Foundation, she’s constantly showing us what true leadership looks like. Oh, and did I mention she’s also a proud Philippine Air Force Reservist and drops absolute bops like “REYNA” and “Makatanong”? Talk about a multi-hyphenate queen!

A Celebration of Heritage and Empowerment

The MGI All Stars competition isn’t just another pageant; it’s a full-blown celebration of culture, resilience, and female empowerment. And the Filipino pride doesn’t stop with Michelle. The gorgeous Gazini Ganados will also be representing the Philippines as one of the esteemed delegates, reminding the entire world why the Philippines remains a powerhouse in international pageantry.

So, to my fellow pageant fanatics, let’s flood social media with love and support for Michelle Dee as she takes on Bangkok. She’s the epitome of grace under pressure, and we already know she’s going to do the country incredibly proud.
