Miss World Philippines Michelle Dee shares her advocacy to raise awareness about autism for this year’s Miss World pageant.
In the video released by Miss World Philippines Organisation, Dee was seen speaking with her siblings with autism.
“Having grown up with two autistic siblings taught me the concept of purpose. Autism awareness isn’t just an advocacy for me, but a life-long mission,” she said in her reel.
Dee is eager to have an active role for the observation of Autism Month in January 2020.
In fact, she has been involved with Autism Society of the Philippines.
“I embarked on this pageant journey driven by purpose and motivated by my heart, knowing this is bigger than myself. It is for my siblings, my family, my advocacy, and for the Filipino people,” she said.
Dee is the daughter of Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez.
Miss World coronation is on December 14.
