Shamcey Supsup reveals how she learned her trademark "tsunami walk"

PEP:

THE TSUNAMI WALK. Kung si Venus Raj ay naalala sa kanyang "major, major" answer sa Miss Universe last year, si Shamcey naman ay nakikilala ngayon sa trademark niyang "tsunami walk."

What can she say about that?

"Grabe!" tawa niya.

"Nagulat talaga ako na may ganun pala.

"Kasi alam mo, when I was in Colombia, I stayed there for training, a fitting for the gown, the national costume.

"May isang... I don't know kung Brazilian siya or Venezuelan. He goes to our place, kasi may catwalk training ako with him.

"Kasi dun sa Colombia, dun sa bahay na tinirhan ko, they all speak Spanish, so I have to learn a few Spanish words.

"And siya, he doesn't know how to speak English.

"Sabi niya, 'We have to walk in runwell...' Runwell ang tawag niya sa runway, e.

"Ang alam niya lang word sa English ay 'fears' and then 'tsunami.'

"Sabi niya sa akin 'You know que tsunami, que...' gumaganun siya sa 'kin.

"Tapos, pinakita niya sa kin yung walk na, kailangan daw, nung ini-explain niya, kailangan daw parang lalaruin mo daw yung mga kalaban mo.

"Kasi, para daw tsunami, parang malakas na wave.

"And yun, yun yung sinabi ko during the interview, and I didn't know that it became the term for my walk.

"Parang yun din tuloy yung laging sumasagi sa isip ko na 'tsunami, tsunami!'

"Kaya kahit naglalakad na ako sa Miss Universe, yung tsunami walk na yun yung natatandaan ko."

Philippines to host Miss Universe 2013 !?

MB:

Panama has declined to stage the 2013 Miss Universe contest, two months after it was announced that the project is almost a done-deal between the government and the pageant organizers.

Reports also said the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) and ABS-CBN, new home of the BPCI, may soon bid for the staging of the world’s most prestigious beauty pageant in the Philippines.

If the Philippines wins the bid, it would be the third time for the Miss Universe pageant to be held in the country. It was first held in the country in 1974 when Miss Spain Amparo Munoz won the title. This was followed in 1994 when Miss India Sushmita Sen was crowned.

2011 Miss Universe 3rd runner up Shamcey Supsup earlier said she would love the Miss Universe pageant to be staged in the country “to show to the world what the Philippines can offer.’’

Panama said the $12 million budget for the holding of the beauty pageant would be too much, adding that they could not afford to stage the contest at this point, according to the website Global Beauties as reported in the Panama newspaper Mi Diario.

Salo Shamah, head of Panama’s Tourism Administration, confirmed that the Miss Universe Organization and the national government had met on several occasions to discuss the project.

But last week, Panama President Ricardo Martinelli decided that they could not afford the staging of the beauty pageant.

“We don’t even have $12 million for our annual advertising project,’’ Shamah said. “Even if private companies were able to fund half the money that is needed, it is still a big hit to our government budget.’’

Authorities also said that the few minutes of telecast of the country’s top destinations are not worth it because most of the viewers are from Asia “who have no direct flights to our country.’’

Panama recently made a good standing in the 2011 Miss Universe beauty pageant in Sao Paulo, Brazil when its contestant Sheldry Saez placed among the Top 10 semifinalists and won the Best National Costume award. Panama staged the Miss Universe beauty pageant twice – in 1986 and 2003.

Miss World Alexandria Mills: 'Philippines, Feels like I'm home'

YAHOO NEWS:

Reigning Miss World Alexandria Mills said she considered the Philippines her second home, where the lady from Louisville, Kentucky, found "everyone so inviting."

"When I got to my hotel room, Ms Cory Quirino was there and told me 'welcome back home.' And it really feels like a second home," Mills said in an interview last week at the Inquirer office in Makati City.

Appointed early this year as director of the Miss World Philippines (MWP) franchise, Quirino has organized the first-ever MWP pageant, with Mills crowning the winner in Sunday night's competition at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.

It was Mills' second visit to the Philippines. Earlier this year, the 5'9" American beauty came with first runner-up Emma Wareus of Botswana and Miss World chair and CEO Julia Morley to visit the Philippine General Hospital in Manila and the Tuloy Street Children Foundation in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, in line with the pageant's charity work.

"Everyone has been so inviting, and they open their hearts to me. And I love that! It makes me feel so comfortable," 19-year-old Mills said of her Philippine tour.

"I've not met a single mean person here!" she said. "They don't have to be nice to me. They really don't. But everyone's so sweet. Everyone was so genuine and so kind."

This warmth of the Filipino people was something "I would definitely speak of" when asked about the Philippines, Mills added.

And she wanted Sunday night's pageant winner to do the same. "Teach the people. Teach the (other Miss World) contestants. Get them to come to the Philippines. Tell them of the beautiful things and the people."

Beauty with purpose

The Philippine winner will fly to London to compete with 119 other international delegates in the Miss World pageant which culminates on Nov. 6.

"Miss World is always looking for someone who is beautiful inside and out, someone who really embodies the [competition's slogan] 'Beauty with a Purpose.' That is what the Miss World is all about," Mills explained. "You have to have an open heart to really want to help others and to travel around the world," she added.

Warm welcome for Miss Universe 3rd Princess Shamcey Supsup

MB:

A ticker-tape parade organized by the local government of Makati City welcomes 2011 Miss Universe 3rd Runner-Up Shamcey Supsup at 4 p.m. Monday

Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin S. Binay invites everyone to join the parade along Ayala Avenue.

According to Binay, the city’s tribute to Supsup Monday will include a visit at around 3:30 p.m. to her high school Alma Mater, Makati High School, where she graduated salutatorian in 2003.

From there, she will proceed to the Makati Central Fire Station at the corner of Ayala Avenue and Malugay Street, the staging area for the parade that will traverse the entire stretch of Ayala Avenue up to EDSA, he said.

“We urge everyone, including our residents and the business community, to join the parade and give a rousing welcome to Miss Shamcey Supsup who has made us truly proud. It is our own way of expressing our admiration and gratitude for the great honor she has brought to Makati, to our country, and to all Filipinos,” Binay said.

Supsup was a sophomore transferee at the Makati High School where she shone not only academically but also in extra-curricular activities.

She was an active member of the school’s Supreme Student Council.

She was also sent to Japan as an exchange scholar student for the School Year 2001-2002, and had been the school representative in various leadership seminars.

“With her scholastic achievements and impressive performance at the world’s most prestigious beauty pageant, Miss Shamcey Supsup has become a role model to the youth. I am sure she has inspired countless young students, especially Makati public students, to strive for excellence and pursue their dreams with passion and determination,” Binay said.

Showing signs of being destined to become a beauty queen early on, Supsup won in beauty competitions during high school, such as the Lakambini ng Aklatan, and was a favorite choice as muse in their school’s intramurals, and proms, among others.

Supsup was born on May 16, 1986 in General Santos.

She is a licensed architect and topped the Architecture Licensure Examination in July 2010 after graduating Magna cum laude from the University of the Philippines-Diliman.

Supsup, 25, arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) from Los Angeles, California, USA, at 6 a.m. Sunday. In the afternoon, she met members of the media, during a press briefing at the Gateway Suites, Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City.

Miss Universe Scandal: Could Miss Angola Lose the Crown?

MB:

Controversy hounds the 2011 Miss Universe pageant after reports claimed the winner, Miss Angola, used false documents to join the contest.

A news article in the Daily Mail, a newspaper in London, dated Sept. 16, 2011, reported that the newly crowned Miss Universe Leila Lopes had used fake documents to get into the pageant.

The Daily Mail said a man identified as Charles Mukano allegedly helped Lopes to join the Miss Angola UK, a beauty contest for Angolan women staying in London, “despite her living in Angola.’’

An Argentine news source reported that Mukano organized the beauty contest that Lopes won. The Miss Universe Organization (MUO) told the AOL Latino that they do not know Mukano. It said the organizer of the Miss Angola pageant is Renato Guttler.

But another report claimed that Mukano allegedly obtained false documents to prove that Lopes is a business student in Britain. The MUO has denied the allegations.

Lopes, 25, is the first Miss Universe from Angola.

Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup was 3rd runner-up.

Missosology, a website on the beauty pageant, posted that in an interview by the French magazine Premiere, 2011 Miss France Laury Thilleman said she doubted Lopes’ victory in the Miss Universe pageant that was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, last Sept. 12.

“She’s the only girl that I did not know too well. We did not see her much, she was very discreet. She was often in jeans and no makeup. We were all surprised by her victory. Many girls have made efforts that have not been rewarded. I do not know, there’s something missing in her temperament. The fact that the contest was held in Brazil has certainly played a role,” said Thilleman, who made the pageant’s Top 10.

The other finalists were Miss Ukraine Olesya Stefanko, first runner-up; Miss Brazil Priscilla Machado, 2nd runner-up; and Miss China Luo Zilin.

Supsup is expected to arrive Sunday morning, following a brief stay in Los Angeles, California.

A grand welcome has been prepared for her.

Apart from the ticker tape parade prepared by the Makati City government, Supsup, 25, is also expected to pay a courtesy call on President Aquino in Malacañang.

Miss Universe Scandal: Could Miss Angola Lose the Crown?

MB:

Controversy hounds the 2011 Miss Universe pageant after reports claimed the winner, Miss Angola, used false documents to join the contest.

A news article in the Daily Mail, a newspaper in London, dated Sept. 16, 2011, reported that the newly crowned Miss Universe Leila Lopes had used fake documents to get into the pageant.

The Daily Mail said a man identified as Charles Mukano allegedly helped Lopes to join the Miss Angola UK, a beauty contest for Angolan women staying in London, “despite her living in Angola.’’

An Argentine news source reported that Mukano organized the beauty contest that Lopes won. The Miss Universe Organization (MUO) told the AOL Latino that they do not know Mukano. It said the organizer of the Miss Angola pageant is Renato Guttler.

But another report claimed that Mukano allegedly obtained false documents to prove that Lopes is a business student in Britain. The MUO has denied the allegations.

Lopes, 25, is the first Miss Universe from Angola.

The TSUNAMI CATWALK of Shamcey Supsup gains prominence

MB:

Aside from her third runner-up finish in the recently concluded Miss Universe pageant, Shamcey Supsup also made famous a catwalk style—the ‘tsunami catwalk.’

“Takaw atensyon ang pagrampa ni Ms. Universe third runner-up Shamcey Supsup. Kakaiba kasi ang hampas ng kanyang balakang sa kanyang paglakad. Parang alon daw na humahampas kaya’t binansagang tsunami catwalk,” said a report on “24 Oras,” Sept. 14.

Missosology, an organization in the country that analyzes beauty pageants, revealed that it was Shamcey’s trainer who coined the new catwalk term.

“Nagsi-sway kasi ‘yung hips niya. ‘Yung Columbian traineer niya na hindi masyadong makapag-express in English sinabing, ‘O, Ms. Philippines you walk like a tsunami,’” Yel Santos, a "missosologist," revealed in the episode.

For Abbygale Arenas de Leon, Bb. Pilipinas Universe and personality development instructor, what Shamcey displayed was a unique catwalk skill.

“Medyo talent ‘yon, ha. Nade-detach mo ‘yung hips mo sa katawan mo. Kasi usually ‘pag normal na tao kumembot sumasama ang buong katawan. Pero siya hindi, pansinin mo ang lakad niya hips lang ang gumagalaw. Ang galing. Ang ganda,” Abbygale explained.

With the tsunami style of modeling, Shamcey was able to give a new meaning to personality.

“She [gave] personality not just to herself but also to the outfit that she was wearing. So, nabuhay niya ‘yung damit. Nag-add up ‘yung beauty, ‘yung beauty ng damit, ‘yung flow ng damit, ‘yung galaw, nag-add up lahat, eh. Sa totoo lang, noong mismong pageant, paganda siya nang paganda nang paganda nang paganda. Akala ko talaga siya ang mananalo. Nakakaasar,” the former beauty queen shared.

To show the difference between catwalk ramp then and now, Abbygale walked the ramp like they did before.

“Noong panahon daw niya, ‘the glide’ ang eleganteng konsepto ng paglalakad o tipong hindi halos gumagalaw ang katawan na para bang dumudulas lang sa entablado ang beauty queen,” the report said.

But more than her unique catwalk skills, Shamcey stood out because of her smart answer to the question thrown at her.
