Shamcey Supsup finishes third runner-up in Miss Universe 2011
Shamcey Supsup of the Philippines finished as 3rd runner-up in the Miss Universe 2011 pageant held at the Credicard Hall in Sao Paulo, Brazil earlier today, September 13.
Angola's Leila Lopes was crowned Miss Universe. Lopes, 25, was also the crowd favorite, getting the loudest cheers from the audience.
Olesia Stefanko of Ukraine was the 1st runner-up, while Brazil's Priscila Machado was 2nd runner-up, and China's Luo Zilin was 4th runner-up.
This is the second year in a row that a candidate from the Philippines made it in the Top 5 of Miss Universe. Venus Raj finished 4th runner-up last year.
The Philippines has two Miss Universe winners: Gloria Diaz won the crown in 1969 and Margie Moran repeated the feat in 1973.
In the question-and-answer portion, Shamcey was asked by judge Vivica A. Fox: Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person you love?
Shamcey, who was the only candidate among the Top 5 who did not use an interpreter, answered:
"I would not change my religion because... I love my God who created me and if that person truly loves me, should love my God too."
Interestingly, Angola's question came from Filipino judge Lea Salonga.
The candidates who made it to the Top 10 are: Australia, Costa Rica, France, Panama, and Portugal, who won the online poll which automatically put her in the semifinals.
Top 16 semifinalists are: Kosovo, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Netherlands, USA, and Venezuela.
Special awards were given to Panama (Best National Costume), Montenegro (Miss Congeniality), and Sweden (Miss Photogenic)
