Ipinasilip at idinetalye ng pambato ng Pilipinas na si Michelle Dee ang kaniyang national costume para sa Miss Universe.

“Good evening, Universe! This is Captain MMD speaking, destination: Filipinas,” ani Michelle sa isang video sa kaniyang Instagram account suot ang kaniyang national costume.

Ipinaliwanag din ng beauty queen sa caption ng kaniyang post ang tungkol sa kaniyang national costume.

“In the grand tapestry of the Philippines comes a National costume as stunning as its archipelago. Behold, Sergeant Michelle Marquez Dee, Miss Universe Philippines, adorned in the nation’s pride and heritage. With each thread woven into the ‘solihiya’ pattern, an iconic design used in the tropics of the Philippines, it embraces her body flawlessly — unfolding the story of the islands’ unity and artistry,” ani Michelle sa kaniyang Instagram post.

“Rising from her back, wings bear the colors of the Philippine flag and a mural of it’s most breathtaking sights while parading the country’s official tourism slogan: #LoveThePhilippines. Crowned with a captain’s hat, this is a salute to her role as an Air Force reservist and to our boundless adventures awaiting in the skies!”

“This National Costume represents the Philippines itself — resilient, radiant and ready to embrace the Universe,” saad pa niya.
