Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee's siblings Abraham Lawyer and Maxine Dee have just arrived in El Salvador to support their sister as she competes for the 72nd Miss Universe Coronation Night on November 18.

In an interview with GMA News, Abraham shared how proud he is of her sister. "It goes to show how Michelle is doing, she's just impeccable with everything she's showing to everybody, and you know, to represent us as her family is such a privilege," Abraham said with Maxine smiling agreeably beside him.

Their arrival to El Salvador came after Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez flew to El Salvador to watch her daughter Michelle Dee as she competes for the 72nd Miss Universe. In her interview, Melanie seems nervous and excited for her daughter's big night.

"Kinakabahan ako sobra. Sabi ko, na-excite ako na 'di ko alam. Parang ako 'yung sasali. Sabi ko, nung ako kandidata, 'di ako kinabahan. Pero this time, parang sabi ko, stage mother ata ako talaga," Melanie shared.

Michelle's journey to Miss Universe has been a long road. She was also part of the Top 12 in the Miss World 2019 contest.

Michelle has already been garnering attention and support from netizens for her elegant evening gown and national costume. According to Filipino designer Mark Bumgarner, Michelle's evening gown for the Miss Universe Preliminary Evening Gown Competition is a tribute to her mom, Melanie Marquez, who also wore a green gown when she won Miss International 1979.
