Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee was serious when she said that there’s no goodbye for her newfound friendship with Miss Thailand Anntonia Porsild.
In an interview with the press during her homecoming on Nov. 25, the Pinay beauty queen hinted at an upcoming project with her Miss Universe 2023 BFF.
“Both of us have created such good friendships—as well as other delegates. May mga things na nakalatag,” Dee said.
“May news kami natanggap pauwi na. Abangan na lang natin,” she added.
Dee arrived at the NAIA Terminal on Saturday evening, a week after competing at the Miss Universe 2023 pageant held in El Salvador on Nov. 19 (PHT). The beauty queen finished her journey in the competition’s Top 10.
Porsild, on the other hand, placed first runner-up preceding Moraya Wilson of Australia and following Miss Universe 2023 titleholder Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua.
While Dee did not bring home the crown from the global pageant, she said that the experience endowed her with intangibles like lifelong lessons and friendships.
“Ang inuwi ko talaga sa El Salvador ay the relationships. It’s the memories, the lessons, the blessings, everything in between,” the 28-year-old beauty queen said.
Dee and Porsild have been making rounds online for the adorable friendship they have formed while competing in the pageant.
On Nov. 23, prior to Dee’s departure from El Salvador, the Pinay beauty queen posted a monochrome 0.5 selfie with Porsild as they gave each other a half-hug with their eyes closed while in bed.
“It’s not goodbye, just see you later!” Dee wrote in her tweet, adding, “(ps: I woke up & won the bet).”
In the following days. Dee has been entertaining their fans with TikTok videos of themselves in their hotel room. One of which shows the duo dancing to Mae Stephens’ popular track If We Ever Broke Up in their bathrobes.
