<p>&quot;Binigay ko talaga lahat.&quot;</p><p>These were the words of Michelle Dee as she described her performance in the recently concluded 72nd Miss Universe pageant in El Salvador.</p><p>&quot;It felt amazing. I love putting on a show, but most especially, I love just making all my countrymen so proud,&quot; she said in an interview with Dyan Castillejo of ABS-CBN News.</p><p>She added: &quot;Everything that I could afford to give, I left it on that stage.&quot;</p><p>Michelle ended her journey in the Miss Universe pageant in the top 10.
