Michelle Dee is using "Filipinas" in her self-introduction in the ongoing Miss Universe pageant, as seen in a viral clip of rehearsals for the coronation night to be held in El Salvador on November 19.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Tuesday, November 14, Dee explained that she is using the traditional Spanish word for her home country in light of the host country's official language.
Her effort of making a connection with pageant fans in El Salvador appeared to pay off early, as Dee related that the Latina representatives also took notice and were appreciative of her introduction.
Dee also discussed in detail her preparations for the closed-door interview and other preliminary activities ahead of the final night.
