And it turned out to be really exciting! We loved talking to Shamcey. We loved picking her brains. In fact, we could have picked her brains for hours, if only she wasn't so busy. Here's an excerpt from the latest issue of YES!
"When Shamcey Supsup walked on the stage of the Araneta Coliseum as Binibining Pilipinas Universe on April 10, not a few of her friends and colleagues were surprised. After all, she was hardly their idea of the typical beauty queen. She wasn’t fond of makeup, using only sunblock because her job as an architect often required working under the sun during site visits. She didn’t know how to wear heels, preferring the comfort of sneakers so that she could walk through construction sites with ease. And before joining the Binibining Pilipinas 2011 pageant, she had never worn a swimsuit. In fact, she didn’t even own one.
Shamcey likes telling the story of how she once got booted out of a public swimming pool. She was then taking up architecture at the University of the Philippines.
“I wanted to swim, but I didn’t want to wear shorts,” she recalls. “Parang it was an outing for our organization. ’Tapos, pinahiram ako ng jogging pants, nag-swimming ako. ’Tapos, bawal daw. Pinaalis ako sa pool… Lagi kong ’kinukuwento ’yon… Napahiya talaga ko.”
Here, some photos from the shoot...
