Sparkle actress and beauty queen Michelle Dee gets candid during her “personality interview” for the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 pageant.

In an exclusive video uploaded on the YouTube channel of Empire Philippines, she was asked what's the usual thing that people misunderstand about her.

Smiling, Michelle said, “Oh, I love that!” She continued, “I love that because, the common misconception is that I'm so mataray.”

“Or that I'm intimidating, But I don't know if that's because of my features or because of my height. But, I'm really such a softie on the inside. Like, I love caring about other people. I love taking care of people as well.”

Michelle added, “I'm like the ate of everyone, which I'm proud of and I really wish that people will see that about me.”
