MISS World Philippines 2019 Michelle Dee is now goodwill ambassador of the Autistic Society Philippines (ASP).

Her appointment co­incided with the cel­ebration of National Autism Consciousness Week from Jan. 20- 26.

This is the first time that ASP has named a goodwill ambas­sador since the society was es­tablished in 1989.

Dee wel­comes the challenge.

She said, “I grew up with two autistic siblings so this is a close is­sue and a close ad­vocacy to my heart. I am here to send one message that au­tism is not a joke. It’s not something that we laugh about. De­spite the fact that they are different, they also have feelings. We should un­derstand them.”
