On Instagram, the Sparkle beauty queen shared a video of herself waiting for her mom to get into her car so she could give her the special gift. "Years ago, my mom's original Miss International 1979 crown was stolen," Michelle said. "She never got it back."

Ang ganda naman nito," Melanie told Michelle upon seeing the crown placed in an acrylic box. "Thank you, I love you," she added.

Did Klarisse de Guzman plan to come out in PBB?
Klarisse de Guzman came out as bisexual early on in her stay inside the Pinoy Big Brother House and on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Thursday, Klang as she has become known, admitted she knew she was going to come out inside Kuya's house. "Planado in a way," she answered Tito Boy. "Bago ako pumasok ng bahay, alam ko pong gagawin ko siya. I was really sure, ready po ako. Hinihintay ko na lang yung tamang timing para sabihin sa kanilang lahat," she added, saying she really wanted to be comfortable with the rest of the housemates before coming out. It was seeing Michelle Dee inside the house that Klang felt the timing was right. The Miss Universe Philippines 2023, who became a house guest of the PBB Celebrity Collab Edition in April, came out as bisexual during Pride Month 2023. "And nung nakita ko po si Michelle, na-feel ko po na this is it," Klang said on Fast Talk. When asked why, the singer said she didn't want to harbor any secrets when she leaves the house. "Gusto ko na paglabas ko ng bahay, wala na kong tinatago. Ang hirap po kasi na for the longest time, meron kang something na tinatago sa dibdib mo," Klang said. "And now masasabi kong I'm really happy and so proud na nagawa ko po yon. And now wala na kong tinatago." In the confession room last April, the singer said she identified as bisexual and in fact has a partner of four years. Klang, along with Shuvee Etrata, are the latest evictees of PBB. Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network at 10 p.m. weekdays and at 6:15 p.m. on weekends. — LA, GMA Integrated News

Following Rachel Gupta's MGI resignation, Michelle Dee says of CJ Opiaza: 'It's her time!'
Michelle Dee took to social media to air her support for CJ Opiaza, who is set to take over the Miss Grand International 2024 title. In an Instagram Stories post, the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 shared a teaser reel of CJ posted by Miss Grand Philippines. "It's her time! The queen that you are!" Michelle said in the caption, tagging the soon-to-be Miss Grand International 2024. CJ's fellow Filipina beauty queens also aired their support by commenting on the reel. "Finally! You did it [CJ]. Congratulations! First MGI Queen from [the] Philippines!" Samantha Bernardo said. "Knew it since the start! Our queen [CJ]," Dia Mate said. On Wednesday, Rachel Gupta announced she is resigning from her title. Shortly after, the Miss Grand International organization released an official statement, terminating the beauty queen's title. MGI founder Nawat Itsaragrisil also spotlighted CJ, saying "Real queen coming soon." Following her announcement, the Indian beauty queen shared a 56-minute tell-all video on Thursday morning detailing the reasons for her resignation. Rachel said she has put so much effort and hard work into her dream of winning the Miss Grand International crown. But "all I've gotten in return is constant harassment, mental torture, mistreatment, and it's on a systemic level. I don't think they can ever change this." The Miss Grand Organization has yet to post a statement about it. — Hermes Joy Tunac/LA, GMA Integrated News
