Michelle Dee pokes fun at her passing of crown at Miss Universe Philippines 2024: 'Ano ba'

Michelle Dee said she is still thinking about how she put the crown on Chelsea Manalo, her successor as Miss Universe Philippines, during the recently concluded coronation night.

On X (formerly Twitter), the Kapuso beauty queen shared screenshots from Chelsea's crowning moment: one with the crown loosely placed on the queen's head and another with it properly placed.

"My mind is still here," Michelle captioned, followed by laughing emojis.

"MICHELE DEE, ANO BA," she added.

On Instagram Stories, Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ariella Arida piped in on the fun and joked that Chelsea's first task as a queen is to "know how to balance."

Chelsea was crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2024 during the coronation night held on Wednesday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

Aside from Chelsea, four other queens received their crowns: Alexie Brooks of Iloilo as Miss Eco International 2025, Ahtisa Manalo of Quezon Province as Miss Cosmo Philippines 2024, Tarah Valencia of Baguio as Miss Supranational Philippines 2025, and Cyrille Payumo of Pampanga as Miss Charm Philippines 2025.
