MANILA -- Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee is happy and proud that she was able to inspire OPM singer Klarisse de Guzman to finally come out as bisexual on "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition."

"Besides na kinilig ako for her, I feel so proud Kuya na I'm able to stand as in inspiration and a source of strength to disclose something as big as that," Dee told Big Brother or Kuya.

"Alam ko po 'yung fear, napagdaanan ko rin po 'yon. 'Yung fear na ang hirap din magpakatotoo nang ganoon dahil sa industriya kung nasaan tayo," said Dee, who came out as bisexual in 2023.

"Through my stories, through my experiences, nakapagbigay ako nang lakas ng loob to come out. ...and mas masaya po ako na after she was able to do that parang sabi niya sa akin ang gaan sa pakiramdam finally after four years po ay nagawa niya. She felt na noong una niya akong nakita it was a sign from the universe na gagawin niya and that's all I wanted to do naman. Moments like these that validate all the years of hard work," Dee said. 

"As long as I can inspire one person I can sleep well at night, sobrang nakakatuwa po," she added.

Like Dee, other housemates also exrpessed their happiness and support to de Guzman.

Inside the confessioin room, de Guzman also thanked Kuya.

"Hindi ko po makakalimutan ang araw na ito Kuya dahil ito po 'yung araw na nagpakatotoo ako at naging malaya po ako," de Guzman said.

On Wednesday episode of "PBB," de Guzman told her housemates that she is a member of the LGBTQ+ community during a task led by Dee, who is a house guest.
