Melanie Marquez is proud of Michelle Dee, will support son Abraham Lawyer if he joins showbiz

Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez is one proud mom!

In an interview with Lhar Santiago on “24 Oras,” Monday, Melanie shared that she’s so happy about the achievements of her daughter Michelle Dee and how everyone appreciates her efforts during the Miss Universe 2023 pageant.

“Everybody knew na she works very hard. Nakita nating lahat at hindi nga lang pinagkait sa kanya ‘yung korona. Pero sa nakita naman po ninyo na kayo na rin po ang siyang naghusga,” Melanie said.

[We all saw it but she wasn’t given the crown. But, as you have seen, you are the ones who judged.]

She’s also looking forward to Michelle’s acting projects, one of which is an upcoming role in the hit GMA Telebabad series, “Black Rider.”

“Ang ganda nga kasi bagay sa kanya ang action eh. Sa totoo lang, dahil meron siyang background ng martial arts so yes, bagay sa kanya,” Melanie quipped.

[It's beautiful because action suits her. Honestly, because she has a background in martial arts, yes, it suits her.]

Of course, the mom was also asked about her son Abraham Lawyer, who has caught the attention of netizens.

Will Abraham join showbiz anytime soon?

“Susubukan niya siguro ‘yan. Hindi ko kasi sinasabihan ang mga ana ko kung ano’ng gagawin sa buhay basta sabi ko sa kanila, the secret to success is you have to be dedicated, happy of what you’re doing para hindi ka madaling mapagod,” Melanie shared.

[Maybe she will try that. I don't really tell my children what to do in life. I just tell them, the secret to success is you have to be dedicated and happy with what you're doing so that you don't get easily tired.]
