MANILA, Philippines – “It was a dream come true”, Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup exclaimed after entering the top 5 of the Miss Universe 2011 beauty pageant, and placing 3rd runner-up.

“I was so happy. I didn’t think that I would be actually part of 16 lang. I’m so happy and I owe it all to the Filipino people,” Supsup said in an interview.

This year’s Miss Universe title goes to Miss Angola Leila Lopes.

Miss Ukraine Olesya Stefanko was the first runner-up, Brazil’s Priscila Machado placed 2nd runner-up, Supsup placed third and China’s Luo Zilin was 4th runner-up.

Supsup ranked a place higher than her predecessor, Venus Raj, who was fourth runner-up in the 2010 pageant.

Supsup was topping the final fan rankings and was one of the strongest contestants in the competition.

In the crucial question and answer portion, American actress Vivica A. Fox asked Supsup, “Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person you love? Why or why not?”

“If I had to change my religious beliefs, I would not marry the person that I love because the first person that I love is God who created me and I have my faith and my principles and this is what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God too,” Supsup answered.

Shamcey Gurrea Supsup was born on May 16, 1986 in General Santos City, the same town where world boxing icon, Manny Pacquiao came from.

She graduated magna cum laude from the University of the Philippines-Diliman with a degree in architecture. She also topped last year’s Architecture Licensure Examination.
