MANILA, Philippines — The Bayanihan spirit is truly alive! When Filipino fans called out to Pinoy supporters to vote simultaneously for Michelle Marquez Dee by 6 p.m. yesterday on the Miss Universe site, they actually did! One pageant observer noted that Pinoys are the best pageant fans for nothing.
Thus, in the ongoing #VoiceForChange contest of the Miss Universe 2023 via an online poll, the Top 10 voting leaders list showed Michelle Marquez Dee coming close to top-voted candidate Shennis Palacios of Nicaragua.
The other delegates in the leaderboard, in random order, include:
- Maya Aboul Hosn, Lebanon
- Jordanne Levy, Jamaica
- Aishah Akorede, Ireland
- Maria Brechanne, Brazil
- Mariana Downing, Dominican Republic
- Celeste Viel, Chile
- Endi Demneri, Albania
- Anntonia Porsild, Thailand
- Diane Leyre, France
Some prior topnotchers have remained in the leaderboard, but a few new names have crept into the charts. Interestingly, the vote-rich Asian countries have not yet fared in the list.
Perhaps, they're saving the best for last!
Ten (10) Silver Finalists will be announced during the preliminary competition on November 15, while three Gold winners together with the Voice for Change fan vote winner will be announced on the coronation night on November 18.
The Miss Universe 2023 finale will unfold on November 18 at the National Gymnasium of San Salvador in El Salvador. Stay tuned!
