Shamcey Supsup is 3rd Runner-up in the Miss Universe 2011 Pageant

Beauty and brains: Shamcey Supsup in her long gown

Well, she may not have bagged the much-coveted crown, but Shamcey Supsup, the Philippines' representative to this year's Miss Universe held in Brazil, manages to finish 3rd runner-up, a notch higher than what Venus Raj achieved in the same pageant last year.

I think the Philippines is once again inching closer to winning Miss Universe. And I'm pretty sure a lot of Filipinas are inspired by this feat that they'll be lining up for Binibining Pilipinas. :)

Of course, a big congratulations to Miss Angola, Leila Lopes, for being this year's Miss Universe.
