READ: Michelle Dee is 'better, stronger, and wiser' after Miss World competition

Michelle Dee has officially released her statement, three days after the coronation night of the Miss World 2019 pageant.

On Instagram, the Kapuso host and beauty queen thanked her supporters who stood by her since day one.

“It's been an absolutely amazing run and I can't be anymore luckier to have my kababayans stand by me throughout this whole experience.

“I definitely wouldn't have made it this far without all of you so thank you so much for your overwhelming support. You were my strength, my purpose, my anchor and it gives me so much pride to be called Filipino.”

Michelle also looked back in her month-long journey to the crown and said that it has made her a “better, stronger, and wiser person overall.”

“As I've said time and time again, everything happens for a reason.

“We all stood on that stage driven by passion and a unified goal to make this world a better place in our own ways. ⁣

“We definitely showed the world what we had to offer as one nation and I hope I made you all proud. I can't wait to see you all back home!”

Michelle Dee represented the country at the ExCel Stadium in London, England last December 14 where she landed in the Top 12.
