Statement of Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda:

On the 3rd runner-up finish of Ms. Philippines Shamcey Supsup during the Miss Universe Pageant

[Released on September 13, 2011]

The Aquino Administration congratulates Ms. Shamcey Supsup for her 3rd runner-up finish in the 2011 Miss Universe Pageant.

The humility, intellect, and grace that you exhibited during the competition embodied the spirit of the true Filipina; and, in our eyes, that is the true victory today—that the world stood witness to and found an appreciation for the ideals, values, and beauty that has long characterized our nation.

May this triumph serve as a way for other nations to come to appreciate not just the beauty of our people, but that of our country. On behalf of the Filipino people, we are proud of you; and we see even greater things ahead for you.
