Former Miss Universe Philippines Shamcey Supsup is honoured to be the National Director of Miss Universe Philippines Organization, a freshly set up organization which will crown Philippines representative to Miss Universe from 2020. Supsup previously competed in Miss Universe 2011, finishing third runner-up to Leila Lopes of Angola.

Shamcey joins other familiar names in the local pageant scene such as Albert Andrada (design council head) and Jonas Gaffud (creative director), as well as Lia Ramos (head of women empowerment committee and charity), Atty. Nad Bronce (head of legal affairs), and Mario Garcia (business development/marketing head).

Miss Universe Philippines official social media page read, “The Miss Universe Organization is thrilled to announce its partnership with the Miss Universe Philippines Organization – a fresh team that will lead the country towards its continued quest to share the beauty and grace of the Filipina to the rest of the world. Rooted in the same strong foundations that have earned the country title after title in the past half century, the Miss Universe Philippines Organization is poised to bring the Miss Universe franchise to greater heights.”

The announcement came just hours after Gazini Ganados finished in the Top 20 of the Miss Universe 2019 pageant in Atlanta, Georgia. The Philippine representative also won best in national costume.

Shamcey also took to her official social media to reveal her emotions in a post captioned, “I am honored with my new role for the organization that brought meaning to my life as a beauty queen and as a woman. I am more than blessed to be the National Director of Miss Universe Philippines. As I continue to grow, I understand that being an architect and an entrepreneur are facets that will form part of my core as we continue the projects of Miss Universe and create more opportunities for aspiring beauty queens in the future. Thank you for the trust and confidence in my capabilities as a strong and independent woman.”
