Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup was a star, fan favorite and finished 3rd in the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant 2011 in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Supsup was ranked high by fans in the swimsuit and evening gown competitions.
The magna cum laude graduate and architecture board topnotcher joined other candidates in the final five namely 2011 Miss Universe Leila Lopes of Angola, first runner-up Olesya Stefanko of Ukraine, second runner-up Priscila Machado of Brazil and fourth runner-up Luo Zi Lin of China
Suspsup was sharp and intelligent during the question and answer portion. She was asked, “Would you change your religious belief to marry the person that you love?”
She answered “I would not marry the person I love because the first person I love is my God and the person loves me, he should also love my God.”
She was the only top 5 candidate who did not use any translator.
Shamcey is the fourth Filipina to have placed third at the prestigious pageant after Lalaine Bennett (1963), Maria Rosario “Chat” Silayan (1980), and Maria Desiree “Des” Verdadero (1984). Last year’s bet Maria Venus Raj, placed fourth in the competition.
In the announcement of the Top 16 finalists, Shamcey was the second to the last contestant called. Meanwhile, she was the seventh beauty and one of the two Asians (the other was Miss China) who was declared as part of the Top 10.
Shamcey both placed second in the fan polls of the swimsuit and evening gown competitions. She donned a yellow two-piece bikini with a light blue scarf which merited her a score of 7.0. The fans, meanwhile, gave Shamcey a score of 6.7 for her long, beige glittery gown. Miss Venezuela (9.1) and Miss Angola (7.2) respectively topped the two categories.
In the “Getting to Know the Top 10” VTR, Shamcey related her dreams of becoming an architect who will build “beautiful and sustainable structures” for her countrymen as well as that of becoming a teacher who will “hone young minds and prepare them for the future.”
One of the judges in this year’s Miss Universe was Tony award-winning singer-actress and Disney legend Lea Salonga.
