Had Oprah Winfrey been a judge in the Miss Universe 2011 pageant, Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup could have won the title.
According to posts on social networking websites and forums, the Queen of Talk told NBC News that Ms. Philippines deserved to win if the only basis is the Question and Answer portion after the candidates were trimmed down to 5. According to Oprah, Shamcey answered straight to the point and without any interpreter, she had no seconds to rethink her answer.
The alleged exact words Oprah Winfrey told NBC News:
“I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A portion, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point.”
We Pinoys couldn't agree more.
Shamcey Supsup picked Hollywood actress Vivica A. Fox for her question. The question was: "Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person that you love? Why or why not?" To which Shamcey answered with: "If I would have 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. I have my faith and my principles, and this is what makes me who I am. If the person loves me, he’ll love my God, too."
Shamcey didn't even pause to think of her answer, nor did she buckle whatsoever. She answered the question from her heart and as a true God-fearing Filipina.
Many of us hoped that our representative would bring home the crown, but then finishing 3rd-runner-up brings Pinoy pride nonetheless.
In an interview with TV Patrol a while back, Shamcey Supsup was happy for what she had achieved in the pageant. And I'm sure we also would had we been on her shoes competing with 88 other beauties from around the world.
I also honestly think that Shamcey did great. She placed 4th among 89. And hey, it's a notch higher than her predecessor, Venus Raj!
Congratulations, Shamcey Supsup!
