Michelle has always been proud of her mother Michelle's beauty pageant past. During her time competing in the Miss Universe pageant last year, the emerald green and black Mark Bumgarner she wore during the preliminary competition was a tribute to her mom.

After returning to the country, Michelle was also warmly welcomed by Melanie at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
