What Michelle Dee thinks of changes in Miss Universe

ABS-CBN News

<p>MANILA -- Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Marquez Dee opened up on the future of the Miss Universe pageant after organizers announced changes in its rules including the end of age restrictions.</p><p>Moreover, Miss Universe&#x27;s long-time president Paula Shugart has also resigned after over two decades. </p><p>In a live interview with ABS-CBN News&#x27; Dyan Castillejo on Friday, Dee said is not against about the no-age limit.</p><p>&quot;I am very interested to see how next year&#x27;s going to play out. We&#x27;ll never really know what to expect until it all happens. We don&#x27;t even know which delegates are finalized yet for any country whatsoever. So I am just very excited and curious to see how next year will play out,&quot; Dee said.</p><p>&quot;In terms of the new management, the ownership of Miss Universe, I think all I have to say is what a loss to Miss Universe for Paula to step down. I think Ms. Paula is the reason why Miss Universe has been so successful in the 23 years that she was heading it. I mean if ever I had been privileged enough to win Miss Universe, I would have wanted Ms. Paula to be by my side,&quot; Dee said.</p><p>Dee said she was able to talk with Shugart and got to thank her for the inspiration she gave to women of the world.</p><p>&quot;All I could say is thank you for inspiring millions of women around the world. Thank you for inspiring me. And she gave me such an amazing advice when I won Miss Universe Philippines. She&#x27;s also the one that said &#x27;keep your short hair, please.&#x27; All I can say is Ms. Paula really shaped and created the Miss Universe brand. Without her I guess again will have to see what happens,&quot; Dee said.</p><p>It was during the Miss Universe preliminaries when Shugart announced her departure from the Miss Universe organization. She stressed that her decision was &quot;months in the making&quot; and &quot;is not any response to recent events.&quot;</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/11/17/23/paula-shugart-stepping-down-as-miss-universe-president">Paula Shugart stepping down as Miss Universe Organization president</a></li></ul><p>Shugart took over as president of the Miss Universe over 20 years ago in 1997.</p><p>Her departure comes after JKN Global Group, the Thai media company that owns the Miss Universe beauty pageant brand, filed for bankruptcy while it tries to resolve a &quot;liquidity problem.&quot;</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/11/09/23/miss-universe-owner-files-for-bankruptcy-in-thailand">Miss Universe owner files for bankruptcy in Thailand</a></li></ul><div><strong>Related video:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2873032" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2856168" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2872616" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
