Today, my country was well-represented by a beautiful lady named Shamcey Supsup. She had the beauty, brains, and the courage to stand up for her faith. She studied Architecture from the University of the Philippines Diliman where she graduated Magna Cum Laude and topped last year's Architecture Licensure Exams. That alone was a major achievement given that she's a woman conquering an endeavor which was perceived to be a man's turf.
Summer of this year, she competed for Bb. Pilipinas where she was crowned to represent the country for the Miss Universe. Finally, the said pageant transpired today where she faced the toughest question ever asked of her -- would you change your religious beliefs for the one you love? Surprisingly, she said that she will not do so for her first love remains to be God who created her and the man who loves her must also love the God she loves.
What a conviction! In a world where people try to call God different names, where people try to avoid an intriguing question like this, Shamcey definitely stood out! The way she spoke of God without thinking twice about it made me proud as a Christian. She did a great job in representing the country. She did a great job in reflecting the kind of people we are. Most of all, she made God proud because she proudly boasted His name up high in worldwide television.
I know that's tough. I wish to have that same confidence to do what she has done. She is definitely someone to look up to and may people find the confidence to do what she has done.
Congratulations, Shamcey Supsup! You are a winner for me, the Filipinos, and most of all, you are the best in God's sight. :) What else could you ever ask for?
