Ms. Universe 2011 Results: Bb. Pilipinas Shamcey Supsup Makes It to Top 3

Our very own Shamcey Supsup made it to the top 3 of Ms. Universe 2011. That's just amazing. Of course I was hoping she'd actually win, given her family name has a sordid meaning in the local dialect it would be nice if she was able to make up for it with a Ms. Universe title under her belt.

Winning 2011 Ms. Universe is Ms. Angola Leila Lopes who looks stunning in her bikini. No wonder she won. China's Luo Zilin came in fourth, Philippines' Shamcey Supsup was third, Brazil's Priscila Machado second and Ukraine's Olesia Stefanko was picked first runners up.

Our very own Shamcey Supsup in her choice evening gown during the 2011 Miss Universe Presentation Show on September 8 at the Credicard Hall in Sao Paulo, Brazil was born in General Santos City - where Pacquiao resides as well.

According to many articles, she led in the online polls - which makes sense, there must have been millions in the Philippines voting for her. She also has a good head over her shoulders, graduating from the University of the Philippines-Diliman as magna cum laude with a degree in architecture. Not to mention, she also topped the Architecture Licensure Examination in July last year.

Philippines' Bet For Ms. Universe - Pamela Bianca Manalo - May Stand A Chance

After wowing critics in the preliminaries where 84 candidates battle it out for the Top 15 semifinals slots, which will be announced during the grand coronation night Sunday (Monday morning in the Philippines)for Ms. Universe 2009. Pamela Bianca Manalo may have a fighting chance of winning for the Philippines this year.

“She owned the swimsuit competition,’’ a pageant historian from the Dominican Republic said.

Manalo, a former flight attendant, stands 5’10’’ and measures 36-1/2-26-36, has been a crowd favorite since she arrived in the Bahamas.

Bb. Pilipinas Airhead Janina San Miguel Drops Out Of Miss World

Bb. Pilipinas candidate to Miss World, Janina San Miguel dropped out of the race. Not to say the least I am disappointed that first of all she quit.

I admit I do think she is an airhead just based on the Bb. Pilipinas pageant where she won. That was rather embarrassing and also dubious. Would you believe during the contest, Janina San Miguel said on national television:

"Well, my family’s role for me is so important b’coz there was the wa- they’re, they was the one who’s… very… Hahahaha… Oh I’m so sorry, Ahhmm… My pamily… My family… Oh my god… I’m… Ok, I’m so sorry… I… I told you that I’m so confident… Eto, Ahhmm, Wait… Hahahaha, Ahmmm, Sorry guys because this was really my first pageant ever b’coz I’m only 17 years old and ahahaha I, I did not expect that I came from, I came from one of the tough 10. Hmmm, so… but I said dot my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you."

I would have preferred being swallowed up by the stage at that very moment and I was just watching her. Here's the old post from Brittney-spares.blogspot.com entitled "One Of The Dumbest Answers To A Pageant Question and Answer Portion (Bb. Pilipinas 2008)"

Janina San Miguel is nevertheless very attractive which is my guess for why she won that pageant. I didn't seem fair, that's true - it made me question the way these beauty contestants are judged. These girls after all represent the Philippines, we would like them to have at least some brains and some eloquence if they are to represent the country. The Philippines already has a bad rep as it is, at the very least we should make it a point to send the best.

But given that the world is full of second chances, I was sort of "well okay" she can learn from that mistake anyway. She's young and she might still win and get the hang of it. But now she quits! Now that is just an even bigger disappointment.

Apparently her grandfather died or some such excuse made her quit. "The untimely demise of her grandfather, among other personal reasons, has caused her undue stress, thus hindering her from fulfilling her duties for the said title," the BPCI said in a statement.

I don't buy it though, there are speculations that San Miguel did not resign but was forced to do so due to her lack of abilities in representing the country. If that's the case then I'm quite sorry for Janina but happy that somebody finally put their foot down!

"In accordance with BPCI rules and regulations, 1st Runner-Up Danielle Castaño will replace Ms. San Miguel as the official Philippine representative to the Ms. World 2008 pageant,"according to a statement from the Bb. Pilipinas organizers.

Although there have been news that Danielle has a much better accent than Janina because she is supposedly Fil-American. One thing that leaves me in question though is that Castaño, however, sounded just a bit better than San Miguel when it comes to grammar. "I'm very proud that I was choosed (sic) by Mrs. Araneta."

Waaaah! It's a no-win situation
