miss philippines shamcey supsup is miss universe 2011 3rd runner up

philippines' own shamcey supsup won 3rd runner up in this year's miss universe contest held in sao paulo, brazil. shamcey is one of the 89 contestants from all over the world that competed in the 60th edition of the annual beauty contest.

shamcey was definitely a frontrunner in the competition after her good showing in the preliminary judging. she has participated in most of the contest's major activities, was chosen to be one of the candidates in the press conference and has been loved by the brazilians during the three weeks duration of the competition.

she also got high scores in the fan scoring through the nbc website. she did a good job at the swimsuit and evening gown rounds and gave an amazing answer at the q&a. she was asked if she was willing to change her religious beliefs for the man he loved. she answered that she will not change her beliefs because god is the first person that she loves and her faith and principles are with god. i quote, "if the man truly loves me, he will love my god too."

but in the end, the beauty from general santos city only got 3rd runner. i really think she deserves a higher placing, if not the crown.

this comes after philippines' venus raj placed fourth runner up in the 2010 edition of the pageant.

miss angola, leila lopes captured the miss universe 2011 title.

choose philippines

the department of tourism recently launched its newest tourism campaign: choose philippines. the campaign aims to encourage everyone to tour the philippines and document their experiences in a website so others can read and be inspired to visit these places and experience what the philippines has to offer.

the website has been launched and can be accessed through this url: http://choosephils.com/

they also has a facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/ChoosePhilippinesOfficial

hope everyone commits to travel inside the philippines rather than outside and document your experiences in the website.

they also made a music video featuring star power winner angeline quinto and vincent bueno. here is the said music video:

a must watch: zombadings 1: patayin sa shokot si remington

last wednesday, my marketing officemates brought up the idea of watching a movie on friday. they were clamoring for us to watch the cinemalaya film zombadings 1: patayin sa shokot si remington. so we checked the schedule and decided to watch in megamall at the last full show.

unfortunately, due to the changes in meeting schedules, we were left with no choice but to watch the movie at glorietta still at the last full show. we were surprised that the earlier screenings were already sold out and only a few seats were available for the last screening. we did not anticipate the popularity of the movie.

the movie revolved around remington, who as a child has teased gay people. because of this, a gay man he teased in the cementery cursed him to turn gay when he grows up. 15 years later, a string of hate crimes against gays has been happening in remington's town. having a policewoman as a mother, he was fully aware of the events that are taking place. at the same time, the curse on him is taking effect and he is slowly being "feminized" day after day.

how would remington deal with his attraction to a new girl in town? how will he deal with his new found attraction to his best friend? how will he escape the gay killer in his town? and how will the curse be reversed?

the film is being topbilled by mart escudero, a starstruck alumnus; lauren young and kerbie zamora. support cast includes eugene domingo, janice de belen, john regala, daniel fernando, leandro baldemor, odette khan and roderick paulate. iy is written by raymond lee and directed by jade castro.

the movie was executed well, especially on the build up of how remington slowly turned gay. great performances from mart, kerbie and lauren made the story very believable. the comedic timing of eugene domingo was really great and the support veteran stars was really great, special mention to john regala. but i was quite bored when the zombadings appeared and i think it could have been executed better. the surprise twists was also unpredictable and was really funny.

here is the trailer of the movie:

i am giving the movie a 4 out of 5 stars. so for those who have not watched it, please do so and still catch the movie. it is really worth watching.
