‘She’s on fire’: Michelle Dee’s Miss Universe 2023 swimsuit preliminary performance cheers Pinoys

MANILA, Philippines — Social media users commended Philippine bet Michelle Dee for slaying the runway during the Miss Universe 2023 swimsuit preliminary competition earlier today in El Salvador.

Michelle is one of the trending topics on X today.

The host described Michelle as a candidate advocating for autism while the Philippine bet was strutting the runway.

"Growing up with two siblings on the autism spectrum inspired Michelle to work closely with advocacy groups," the host said.

"This 28-year-old award-winning actress has set up a foundation that aims to provide opportunities to those on the spectrum," she added.

Here are the social media reactions on Michelle's performance during the swimsuit preliminaries:
