Michelle Dee graces Autism Society Philippines' art exhibit opening as special guest
Michelle Dee graced the formal opening of Autism Society Philippines' (ASP) art exhibit as a special guest. According to Athena Imperial's report in "24 Oras" Friday, the Artismo art exhibit is ASP's cultural and arts platform that gives individuals on the autism spectrum the opportunity to showcase their artworks. "This is a lifelong mission for me. I'm truly inspired by every individual on the autism spectrum and I have two siblings of my own kaya napaka-importante po talaga na patuloy ko ipaglaban 'yung mga kinakailangan nila," the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 and Sparkle star said. "Not just on the surface level, but really try to dial in on the solutions that we can offer them," she added. The opening of the art exhibit coincides with National Disability Rights Week, which is held annually from July 17 to 23. Through Artismo, individuals with autism are able to express themselves creatively. The ASP is also able to raise funds for its programs, while giving the artists the opportunity to earn money. Michelle has long been an advocate for autism awareness, even before she started her pageant journey. Back in 2019, prior to representing the Philippines at the Miss World pageant, she shared that her two siblings with autism were the ones who inspired her to pursue this advocacy. She also pushed for autism awareness, acceptance, and inclusivity when she vied for the Miss Universe crown in 2023. At the international pageant, she was among the contestants who won the Voice for Change award, which comes with a cash prize for their chosen charity. In 2024, she was honored with the Hans T. Sy Leadership Award by ASP for her advocacy in autism awareness. In the same year, she got to donate her Miss Universe Voice for Change award, worth P684,000, to ASP. Aside from her advocacy work, Michelle is also busy with her music and acting career. Per the "24 Oras" report, she is set to release a new single soon following the success of "Reyna." She will also grace the "Sang'gre Experience" fan event on Sunday, July 20, in Cubao, Quezon City, after starring in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" as Hara Cassandra. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
