Michelle Dee makes the Top 3 of Miss U PH casting video challenge

Michelle Dee is continuing to make a strong showing in the Miss Universe Philippines competition as she is named as one of the Top 3 in the pageant's casting video challenge.

In a post on the Miss Universe Philippines Instagram account, Michelle was included in the Top 3 alongside Miss Misamis Oriental Annabelle Mae McDonnell and first place winner Miss Pasay Celeste Cortesi.

Just like Michelle, Celeste Cortesi is also a former pageant winner, having been named Miss Earth Philippines in 2018. Michelle was Miss World Philippines 2019.

Michelle's video flits between color and black and white and shows her changing outfits. In the caption, Michelle says that “behind every strong woman is a story that gave her no choice.”

This is the second time that Michelle has placed in the top three of the multiple Miss Universe Philippines challenges. She had also placed in the top three of the pageant's swimsuit challenge, alongside Miss Pasay Celeste Cortesi and Miss Taguig Ma. Katrina Llegado, who was the challenge winner.

Michelle was helped in her swimsuit photo by celebrity friends Rhian Ramos, Max Collins, and Janina Manipol, who served as creative directors of the shoot.

Michelle was announced as part of the Top 50 candidates of the 2022 pageant last month.
