Definitely a close call but Makati’s Q&A performance was on another level. She sounded confident, genuine, and relatable all at the same time. Bohol will always be my sentimental favorite but Makati deserved this win, no doubt. Congratulations to everyone!!!!!

Pinaka da best ang sagot ni Ms. Makati sa last 2 questions...Love it 🥰Congratz🥳🥳🥳

WELL DESERVED, MAKATI! 🎉🎉🎉 wanted her to win last year. She’s so fierce and I think we need that in MU because the last winners have all had a soft confidence air to them. I adore the past winners but I want someone with more edge and fierceness. 😎 Makati reminds me of Zozi and I hope them being on the same stage tonight gives her more luck in the MU competition 🤩🤩🤩

MICHELLE DEE STANDOUT and best answers among the rest... well deserve the Crown 🎉❤

Nanood ako ng live, iba ang aura ni Michelle Dee… very classy and she aced the Q and A round. Congrats MMD! Deserved.

CERTAINLY DEE ONE!!🎉❤️ Such a Full embodiment of a Filipina woman. That Final Q&A just brought her the crown itself. She really has the heart and genuiness in her speech. Performance Level standard in all phases and portions of the competition. A true Filipina woman ready to conquer the Universe.❤️🥰 My Warmest Congratulations Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Marquez Dee!❤️🎉

I am from Egypt 🇪🇬 . I can't stop my tears after she won

very elegant ms. dee you deserved the crown, your looks, your attitude, your honesty! canadian filipino are proud to have you bring the name again in rest of the world...

Her final answer showcased her beauty and brain she really stand Out. She has a True Classy Filipina Beauty! 🔥👸💖 Well Deserved indeed! Congratulations to all Ladies and to our New Miss Universe 👑 🇵🇭

Maganda, matalino ,Pinay Beauty,laban kung laban Congratulations Ms .Dee

Sa final Q and A talaga magkakaalaman,the gown Michelle wore was so simple but it fit her like her own skin,she nailed the answered, briefly and concisely ,no flowering redundant words

No need to bring a person down. I have been supporting Pauline, but the night went to Michelle and its undeniable. Her performance was stunning. Her team made sure that her gown and styling will stand out from the rest, and Michelle gave a performance that is different from her previous ones - and it was amazing. She and her team all did their assignments and they did it very well. I have so many whines on Pauline’s styling, from the gown to her hair.. its almost like she is the only one who is hungry for the crown and her team is satisfied with “pwede na”. She and her team had different visions. Pauline could have done so much better with a different styling team in my opinion.

Michelle Dee nailed the final Q&A! Full of content for answering the question! "Proud to be called Pinoy" as her last remark undeniably won the judges hearts!👏👏👏

I can’t stop admiring Zozi’s looks! Her dresses tonight were stunning! 😍😍😍 so happy MUPH invited her to host 🥹💖💖💖💖💖

Congratulations! Miss Dee, our new Ms. Universe 2023. She made it guys.😊😊😊🎉❤❤❤

she deserved it🙌coz she's smart answered & relatable unto the question even in the 1st Q&A set's she well explained short ly but directly 👍🙌 Congratulations Ms Makati ✨borned to be our nxt Ms 5th Universe 👑✨

SHE DESERVES THE UNIVERSE 💗 SANA MAY PASABOG SA KANYA, BRING HOME THE CROWN MS. MAKATI, GOD BLESSE YOU💗✨

I'm rooting for Pauline since 2020 as I witnessed her hunger and determination to clinch the crown. However, I don't know why people are hating Michelle so much for being good. As you can see, she's been consistent on both Q and A segments. Aside from Pauline, She is the next woman I can see to represent The Philippines this year. After all, Pauline will be our delegate as well and i hope she will represent us in Miss Suprational. Let's Empower, Celebrate and Appreciate their beauties. Congratulations Ladies, Mabuhay ang Gandang Filipina! ❤🇵🇭

Well deserve mo Miss Makati Michelle Dee to be crowned as our new Miss Universe Philippines. With your beauty and brain really pushed you to get the crown. Mabuhay!!! 🥰

Congratulations to all candidates specially to miss univers makati

Ms. Makati answered the question on point...while bohol dont delivered the answer we want to hear.. i cant say na mali yung sagot ni ms bohol ha. Dont get me wrong but ms. Makati delivered her answer very well she deserved the crown. One more thing shes the only one i seen having her very obvious signature walk. There is another year for each and every candidate if its their time then it will be. so for now lets just suppport our Newly Crowned MU that represents our country.😊

Michelle deserve the crown. We, Pinoys are the best and we are the best that we can offer the world.

Congratulations Ms Dee❤ You deserved the Crown.

Astig Palaban Ang AURA ni Makati.. Congratulations Ms. Michelle Dee❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Buong puso na si michelle dee ang nanalo she is my bias♥️♥️♥️

Michelle answered very well in Q&A. Period.

Very well deserved, congratulations Michelle Dee

May laban tayo ngayun sa Miss Universe kc ipu-push talaga to ni Makati, and of course di papayag ang Miss Melanie na walang mauuwi to for the international competition. Sure ako paghahandaang mabuti to ni Michelle, so gud luck Michelle!

Congratulations Michelle!!! I’m not surprised you won! You were the front runner from the beginning.

Congrats Miss Makati for winning Miss U Philippines

Congratulations Michelle Dee👏👏👏

Well-deserved. Congratulations!

Ang cute nya🥰🥰 congratulations miss Makati ❤️❣️

Rooting for MS. BOHOL💕 eversince but the stars arent align for her but we know she did her best. And im not a fan of Ms. MAKATI but surely will support her. Sana kaya nya ipanalo or kahit mg back to top 21 mn lng sana🙏

Miss makati the way she answers the questions with full conviction, eloquent, stunning, she is really comprehend the questions so well plus factor for miss makati the signatures walk good luck to your journey a tough road walking along in getting the MU crown the most important is be a positive thinker

All I can firmly says,she has the looks,the credence to speak eloquently and my final conclusion as everyone is entitled in their own opinion,Michelle Marquiz Dee,will be crown Miss Universe for the upcoming event this year 2023,Philippines will be proud of her ,cheers you deserved,glory to God for God created you Michelle fearfully and wonderfully.

Tonight's Miss U 2019 co-host from South Africa looked truly ravishing with her hairstyle and gowns - I used to dismiss her looks with her usual short hair, though. Michelle, u deserve the win after going thru such excruciating contest again! All the BEST wherever the universe will take you. However, Pauline was very very good throughout competition and shd be first runner-up!

Makatii deserve it much..Mich pls do the best and bring back the bacon in miss universe. 2023.

Everyone of us have our bet...the truth is: they are all intelligent. Although Bohol had also good answer and speaks english fluently but Michelle had a better and stronger answer in general...a more sraight forward answer too! She really deserved the CROWN.She needs to be more tough and lively not looking shy on the stage like Catriona

This was a strong top 5, they were all good 🤩🤩🤩

Congratz to Michelle D..you deserved it.🙏I'am just feeling emotional to Ms.Univ.22',Celeste Cortesi.She deserved to be known more right after the competition bcoz she answered it right yet it isn't her luck to be crowning for Ms.Univ.competetion.🙏💖

Let's be considered that this time we need a pure blooded pinay to participate in miss universe.. Let's just support nlang...

Hindi man ito mabasa ni MD i just want to Congratulate her cause she deserved the crown👑 last yr. Ikaw na tlga bet ko manalo kasi subrang galing mo sumagot. At last night finally nakuha mo na ang crown. Don't mind the basher kasi nandyan yan palagi..Remember marami kami nag susupport sayo❤

Yan ang The Best manalo at ipanglaban sa Ms U, proud pinoy ❤

I knew it....this is her time to shine. Go Michelle ❤🎉🙏

I'm rooting for miss MAKATI she deserve it

Congratulations Ms. Michelle Daniela Marquez Dee is our new Miss Universe Philippines 2023 so very happy and successful beauty queen will believe it would be 👸👸🇵🇭🇵🇭👑👑📢📢📣📣🎉🎉🎊🎊💕💕❣️❣️❤️❤️♥️♥️🎈🎈🖐️🖐️👏👏✌️✌️🙂🙂🥰🥰🤩🤩😍😍😁😁😃😃

Great mom's day gift ever to Ms. Melanie🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations!

5:00 People are shouting Bohol during Makati's crowning- That's just mean

Michelle's answer implies "FILIPINO word per se is equivalent to many positive definitionS: warmth of hospitality; genuine smiles; generousity & kindness; positive mindset an effect of resiliency; & that is Filipino, that is the best we could offer, Brand of being PINOY." Michelle used many great traits of filipino Hospitality that equates to word FILIPINO kaya best answer. While Pauline's answer was super correct, the way she delivered was impeccable too. Comparison of answer for the question (best Pinoy could offer to the world) is Bohol=Warmth vs. Makati=FILIPINOism.

Strong MAKATI 👑

My favorite top 3 queens!!

Congratulations to my bet, Michelle Dee for winning Miss Universe Philippines 2023. I hope you can bring home the 5th crown of Miss Universe in our country in this upcoming MU2023 pageant. May God bless you and the people and the country that you are representing.

Total package winner: Ms Michelle Marquez Dee! In The final question, she has the best answer among all of them. Don't be bitter on her just because Ms Bohol didn't win. Beauty w/ elegant! On the grand coronation palang, ung aura nya pang MS UNIVERSE NA.

Wow zozibini is level up she's so stunning and beautiful..

iba talaga ang dating ni MMD total package sya for miss universe... 2 q and a she answered on point.. congrats sa imuha miss makati MMD from cagayan de oro city....

I know we all love Bohol, but as much as we love her we need to remember who those girls are going to compete with eventually… them Latinas! Can she beat those Latinas performance wise? Not saying she can’t but it seems like there’s still a long way for her to go. And instead of bringing the winner down why don’t we just celebrate and uplift each other, we need to STOP playing favorites y’all!
