Michelle Dee’s Kapuso send-off Party at the House Manila

Oct. 24, 2023, will truly go down in Philippine pageant history as that one special date when two Filipina queens were celebrated in two remarkably memorable parties.

On that special night, Miss Universe Philippines 2023, Michelle Marquez Dee was given a send-off party by her GMA Kapuso family in Newport World Resorts’ posh House Manila.  During the event, the country’s stunning delegate to the 2023 Miss Universe Pageant showed how ready she was to make her countrymen proud in the 72nd edition of the competition.  Among those who came to wish Michelle the best of luck in her second international pageant journey were GMA Network Senior Vice President Annette Gozon-Valdes; good friends Rian Ramos and Kylie Padilla; MUPH co-candidate Samantha Panlilio; Philippine Airlines President Capt. Stanley Ng and other executives and staff of GMA7.  During the event, Michelle promised to do her best to bring home the country’s fifth Miss Universe crown.

Michelle and her well-wishers enjoyed the evening as they stayed on to party even after the event closed.

That same night, in yet another Newport World Resorts club, the post-coronation party for newly-crowned The Miss Philippines winner, Alethea Ambrosio of Bulacan, was held along with the competition’s organizers led by Jonas Gaffud and Shamcey Supsup-Lee.  The party at the newly-opened VIP place, Kao Manila, Day and Night Club, was made even more glittery with the presence of Ambrosio’s court of honor as well as the newly-proclaimed Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2023 winners led by Brandon Espiritu, who represented the Filipino Community of Guam.  Some judges, including Philippine Information Agency Deputy Director General Kat de Castro, made it to the event.  The victory celebration was a happy occasion that lasted until the wee hours of the next day's morning.
