The newly-crowned Bb. Pilipinas-Universe who will represent the country in the 2011 Miss Universe pageant in Sao Paolo, Brazil in September is obviously beauty and brains combined.
Born on May 16, 1986, Shamcey Supsup is an only child of Marcelina, an engineer and Timoteo, a farmer. She graduated salutatorian of her high school class at the Mindanao State University (MSU). She finished Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture at the University of the Philippines (UP) in Diliman, Quezon City and topped the licensure board exams for architect in June 2010.
Aside from the Bb. Pilipinas-Universe crown, the General Santos beauty also won special awards such as Best in Talent, Miss Philippine Air Lines and Miss Cream Silk. She bested 39 other candidates in the 46th edition of the beauty contest.
This early, Supsup said she’s feeling the pressure as others tend to compare her to 2010 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Maria Venus Raj, who won fourth runner up in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant held in Las Vegas, Nevada USA.
After her reign, she said she and her friends plan to form their own architectural firm. She said she does not see herself entering politics or showbiz in the future. She added that people should focus on discipline and should not rely on government for solutions to end social problems.
