"I’m a fan of her journey ‘cause I saw first-hand how dedicated she is. People see her performance on stage and what she’s posting online. But what people don’t see is the months and years of preparations before that. And that’s what I really appreciate in a Miss Philippines, in a candidate" she said.

"Ako din eh, pare-pareho tayong hindi pa maka-move on. But you know, the thing about these lessons is that it gives you, it makes you think. Ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng winner? What is a winner really? Does she have to come home with a crown for us to celebrate her and for us to say that we won? The mere fact that she worked on that stage with the gown that was inspired by Whang-Od, doesn’t that make you proud?" Pia queried.
For Pia, the best thing about Michelle is that she didn’t follow the "Miss U candidate prototype", saying: "She didn’t go for the long hair kinda look, she has this very Pinay look. Doesn’t that make you feel represented?"
As for the pageant fans who said they won’t move on, Pia has this to say: "Walang mag-mo-move on, kasi marami pang opportunity at marami pang gagawin si Michelle sa career niya."
