'Ang ganda, as in!' Pia Wurtzbach raves about Michelle Dee's Miss Universe gown

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach has seen the evening gown of Philippine representative Michelle Dee for the 2023 edition of the competition, and she's confident that it will win over pageant fans.
Wurtzbach was asked about Dee's "fighting chance" to bring home a fifth Miss Universe crown on Monday, October 24, on the sidelines of her book-signing event for her debut novel "Queen of the Universe."
The actress-turned-beauty queen also shared her tips for Dee, including having a strategtic social media rollout during the competition while also not giving in to temptation to read comments online.
The Miss Universe 2023 pageant will be broadcast live from El Salvador on November 19, 9 a.m. on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, Metro Channel, and iWantTFC.

Pia never fails to articulate what she really wants to say. That's why she won in 2015.

Si pia yung miss universe na napakabait, napakasuportive nya sa lahat ng mga kandidata at hindi siya mayabang at hindi siya plastik at masaya siya sa mga nag cocompete hindi niya dinadown hindi katulad ng iba

[@melodydeleon5072]

Less social media during her time and of Catriona, yet they took the crown. I noticed that the more social media hype our beauty queens, then we lose. Look what happened to Rabiya, too much exposure in social media and even during the competition she was also advised by Pia that time not to read and comment. Eventually I got turned off by her drama 😅.

[@moonandsunrise7936]

Ang galing na talaga magsalita ni Pia. Before, medyo aral pa yung mga sinasabi nya. Napansin ko yun sa mga interviews nya after winning Miss Universe, like sa mga radio stations abroad, etc. Magaling pa rin pero alam mong alam na nya mga sasabihin nya. Ngayon, sobrang ganda na ng flow, sarap nya pakinggan magexplain and magkwento.

[@AA-wb1lh]

Nung una rin hindi ako masyadong nagagalingan, akala ko trying hard. Now I know bakit mas magaling sya ngayon, mas confident na kasi. Mukhang anxious/perfectionist syang tao kaya noon aral na aral nya bawat sasabihin, at pag masyaodng aral, madaling magstutter pag nakalimot. Ngayon mas relaxed na kasi sya kaya gumanda rin ang flow :) Go Queen P :)
