Will Michelle Dee join Miss Grand International All Stars? MUPH 2023 Queen hints at pageant comeback

“Hindi pa ngayon ang tamang panahon for that. Abangan n’yo lang,” Dee said during the OKGames Christmas Carnival in Parañaque City, signaling that while the timing may not be right, the idea remains on the table.

She went on to explain her perspective on returning to competition, calling it a balance of opportunity and risk. “There is a lot of risk. High risk, high reward—I never close doors, though. You assess every opportunity for what it has to offer. You never know. Kaya never ako nagsasara,” she added.

“High risk, high reward”: the logic of a return

Dee also praised the idea of an All Stars edition, echoing the excitement of pageant fans eager to see familiar queens reclaim the spotlight. “It is very smart—very exciting to see our idols back on stage. Anyone, anything—if you’re not done yet, if you still have something left to give,” she said. “That is such an amazing concept, and I’m sure anyone who becomes part of it will see it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
