In her application video, Michelle, who is representing Makati City, said that the “road to the crown will not be easy.” “But taking my chances to win the crown takes courage. Tenacity, love for my country, and the willingness to do good with this platform is what I believe will become my greatest advantage on the Miss Universe Philippines stage,” she said.
