Michelle's answer in the final Q and A was the game changer. She was cool, calm and collected in front of a noisy , huge crowd. She deserves the crown and to represent the Philippines in the world stage.

I am Egyptian but i felt in tears after Michelle won and can't stop my tears every time i watch her crowning moment

This is a type of contestant that the new miss universe is finding and I can say she has it all. Goodluck miss U Philippines Ive been rooting for you since 2022

[@rubyru4475]

I’m just really happy for you Luis!❤I’m glad you are having a good time in the Philippines!

[@davidmartinborough8642]

I wanted Michelle to Win so badly last year, and was so nervous for her to win this year, that I decided not to watch the pageant until a friend confirmed that she was the winner. I love everything about Michelle and is very confident she will do well at Miss Universe. ❤❤❤❤

[@jojopatz9766]

Same here 😂😂. I also didn't watch the live telecast cuz I'm so nervous for Michelle. Been rooting for her since last year. I just waited for the results in Twitter and when I read she won I was sooo happy. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@josephpaglinawan3187]

Last year I was rooting for her and got disappointed when she didn't win. But, she showed elegance and brains and you can feel her humility. And she Won! 💖❤️

[@jojovaldez9396]

Mee too, I write song for her to express my feelings for her lost last year❤

[@Ver0_Cat]

Oh wow, I don't follow pageants that much but surprised the crowned Miss Universe is a lower batch schoolmate! She's a true blue Makati citizen, representing our city and I am very proud of her. Congratulations, Michelle! And Luis, thank you once again for taking us with you. You're always fun to watch. And it's great to see your Filipino spirit come out in this vlog. You're awesome!

[@Ver0_Cat]

​@Jo's Studio Quite obviously, not all of Luis' subscribers are pageant fans. I'm a music fan and I've been watching his music reactions before he went this route 'coz I love his insights and bubbly personality. I'm guessing that's what you were getting at with your question. But if I'm mistaken and you're just curious about my whereabouts, I'm currently at work.

[@innocensehatsudou17]

First Round Q & A - Pampanga and Makati nailed it. Second Round Q & A - Makati nailed it. Precise and heartwarming answer.

Hello Luis, I'm an old subscriber and I want to thank you for this spontaneous and raw video that features so many emotions, and even your pals gave me a lot of 'feels'. Aside from the actual MUP presentation, you made this event more memorable by showing us the expectations and surprises on your faces, like we're also there in the venue itself. Thank you, you're amazing!

Your video was so palpable, Luis. I felt the excitement, the nerves and the thrills. Thank you for sharing the experience with us. We love you so much! ❤❤❤❤❤

Wow! I am so happy for you Luis. I felt the energy and the nervous but excited tension. Also, love the pin on your lapel. This was the best top 5 in a while and wow wow wow! Incroyable! Their answers were so good. I'm so happy you got experience this and you and Pauline will be in Poland together. How fun! Take care my darling and miss you dearly. 💜💜

First round Q&A ~ Makati & Pampanga Nailed it . Second Round - Makati & Bohol

[@danekim4275]

Luis - that was such a fun vlog! I felt like I was in the audience with you & your pageant-buds! Your Taglish slang is on-point … LOL ! After watching Pampanga’s responses many times, I am still floored as to why Pampanga was placed 5th overall. I mean, this woman is a phenomenal speaker! There is legit substance in her answers. Hindi ko gets talaga, as in. She should have been in the top 3! But I am happy that Makati and Bohol won crowns! They will do fantastically in their respective international pageants and do us proud! Please keep making your “action vlogs” ! I hope Pampanga returns next year for another shot!

[@onejuan1835]

Who would have thought that your simple visit to our country would lead to this. Thank u Luis and happy for you!😊

[@stateyourname9775]

I strongly believe that the org specifically chose michelle because of her strong credentials but most especially because of her advocacy. Not a fan of her performance and I have been criticizing her a lot bc of it but after i saw her advocacy videos online i couldnt help but just fall inlove with her authenticity towards her cause. She is very passionate about it because it involves her brothers 🥺 this i think would catapult her into the semi finals at MU. She only needs to worry about her walk bc everything about her advocacy and her comm skills is already perfect.

grabeeeee.. All the top 5 constentants answers are really good..I love them all they are smart and beautiful.. ❤️❤️

[@beauconia1317]

Yes, I agree, this is the best Top 5 ever. For those who were saying that Misses Baguio, Pampanga and Zambales answered the question poorly - as a pageant analyst, I would like come to their defense. I can say that there's something wrong with how the question was framed. Although, the DOT slogan stuff was mentioned prior, the final sentence should have been clearer had it added the phrase "as a Filipina". So it should have been: "For you -- as a Filipina - what's the best thing we can offer to the rest of the world?" Or, "For you, what is the best thing that the Philippines can offer to the rest of the world?" When 3 out of 5 respondents didn't get to figure out what kind of answer your question is looking for, that's a 60% margin of error. Don't put the blame to the respondent: they're not the outliers, it's how the question was asked.

[@apolpieTV]

Ms Baguio reminded me of Aaliyah in Queen of the Damn. Sizzling and fiery woman for MU 2024

[@beauconia1317]

Not MUP 2024. She was appointed as Miss Charm Philippines 2023 and the Miss Charm International pageant is in February 2024. Then by next year, there will be a separate national pageant for Miss Charm Philippines, which is most likely gonna be on the 2nd quarter of the year. She has to wait for that time for her to turn over the crown to her successor. It would be too late for her to enlist for MUP 2021. And if she won the Miss Charm 2024 title, she has to wait until 2025 to complete her reign. So it's either MUP 2025 or MUP 2026 for her. Hooefully the stars align for us to see her on the MU stage. She's just 22 years old, so she still has 6 years to age out for the MU crown. Let's keep an eye to CJ Opiaza of Zambales for now. I have a strong feeling she's our next MUP after Michelle.
