The 2011 Miss Universe saw two the participation of two lovely Filipinas. One was a judge at the pageant, actress and singer Lea Salonga who has accomplished so much with her  mermaid-like voice which she has lent to several Walt Disney movies, and the other was Miss Philippines’ Shamcey Supsup.

Shamcey Supsup was awarded third runner up in the pageant, placing behind Miss Angola, and Miss Ukraine. While Leah Salonga’s question was directed to Miss Angola, judge number 2 was American actress and television producer Vivica Fox (does Copperhead of Kill Bill movie ring a bell?) who threw the question to Miss Philippines.

“Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person you loved? Why, or why not?” Fox asked.

“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.

Supsup isn’t only beautiful. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of the Philippines. She’s a licensed architect and she topped the Architecture Licensure Exam in July 2010.
