Sa kanyang mahabang post, ibinahagi ni Michelle ang naging hirap niya sa preparation para sa nasabing competition at nagpasalamat siya sa lahat ng sumuporta sa kanya.

"'It's not done until it's won.' That has been my mindset not just for this year but for all the times I joined Miss Universe Philippines. No matter how it looks, it was never and it never got easier to prepare for each time I would compete.

"Each year was full of hard work, sacrifices and risks that I hope pay off at the end. Winning this year validates not just to me but to every Filipino that with hard work, perseverance and passion, you can achieve anything.

"Of course, I did not win this crown alone. I would like to thank the peoplee who supported me through this journey," pahayag ni Michelle.

"To Team MMD, my management, my sponsors, and especially to the generous designers, Thank you for believing in me and for helping me turn my dreams into reality. Without your creative input, dedication and trust, I know I wouldn't be here today," patuloy niya.

Pinasalamatan din niya ang Miss Universe-Philippines, gayundin ang kanyang pamilya at mga kaibigan.

"To my family and friends, thank you for supporting me through all the ups and downs that come with this crazy and amazing ride. Thank you for being my rock and for giving me the strength to keep going.

"To the Miss Universe Philippines Organization, thank you for trusting me to represent the Philippines on the international stage. All the efforts and hard work I did to win the crown yesterday will not stop there.

"Lastly, to my supporters, thank you for cheering me on through my pageant journey. When the going gets tough, your support is what pushes me to keep going," aniya.

Sa huli ay nangako siyang gagawin niya ang lahat para maiuwi sa bansa ang Miss Universe crown.

"The next chapter of my pageant journey is no longer my own. It's for each Filipino that I will be representing in El Salvador. Knowing this doesn't just inspire me. It pushes me to work even harder and to dream bigger. It pushes me to do whatever it takes to bring home the Miss Universe crown to the Philippines," pagtatapos ni Michelle.
