Miss Angola, Leila Lopes Crowned Miss Universe 2011; Shamcey Supsup is 3rd Runner Up


Miss Angola, Leila Lopes, was crowned Miss Universe 2011 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as she stood out 88 other candidates.

Ximena Navarrete, last year's winner, handed her crown to Angola, 25 year-old Lopes, who was also crowned as Miss Angola UK 2010, Miss Fotogenia 2011 and Miss Angola 2011.

Lea Salonga asked Lopes the final question that helped her win the pageant.

She asked: "If you could change one of your personal characteristics, which one would it be and why?"

Lopes replied

Thank God, I’m very well satisfied with the way God created me and I would not change a thing. I consider myself a woman with inner beauty. I have my principles. I have acquired many wonderful principles from my family and I plan to follow this through the rest of my life

Meanwhile, our very own, Miss Philippines, Shamcey Supsup, was third-runner up in the pageant that was aired live.

She was asked by one of the judges, "Would you change your religious belief to marry the person that you love?"

Shamcey Supsup was the only top 5 candidate without a translator.

I would not marry the person because the first person I love is my God and the person loves me, he should also love my God.

Shamcey Supsup ranked as 1st by the fans among the top 5 and 2nd on swimsuit and evening gown competitions.

Even though she didn't win the title, I am so proud that she compete with confidence on that pageant. Even she won as third-runner up, still she won the pageant with full support and brought the country to the top 5 of this competition. Congratulations, Shamcey Supsup.
