On Tuesday's episode of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, Michelle Dee sat down again for an interview with TV host Boy Abunda as the newly crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2023 this time.

In the interview, Michelle recalled what happened during the coronation night and what she did to stay calm and focused on her performance amid the “chaotic” situation backstage at the venue.

“Tito Boy it was so crazy like there were production people screaming, 'Five minutes to go,' girls were still dressing up going back and forth from the glam room to the standby area.

“You know one of the things that actually for lack of a better term 'sabotaged' my performance last year is I let that chaos get into my head,” she recalled.

Because of her previous experience, Michelle shared that she did not allow anything to enter her head during the coronation night this year, instead, she pushed herself to remain calm and focused.

“This year I was like, 'I am not gonna be fazed. I am aware of the time when the show starts so I'm gonna remain composed and not let any affect my energy now,' so I am just as calm as a feather,” she said.

Meanwhile, during her “Fast Talk” interview, Michelle delivered a strong statement about Boy's last question to her.

“I am Michelle Marquez Dee and I am…” Boy asked Michelle.

“I am Michelle Marquez Dee and I am Miss Universe 2023,” Michelle answered.

After her TV guesting and interview, Michelle will be preparing for the Miss Universe 2023 competition which will be happening in El Salvador this year.

Watch Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, on weekdays, at 4:45 p.m. on GMA Afternoon Prime via television broadcast and to all GMA digital platforms.
