THE PERIOD OF RESURGENCE:
2011 TO PRESENT
by Rolando Rafael
In 2011, the
organization went back to choosing another cerebral candidate over other many
facially superior girls – Shamcey Supsup. Note that there seem to be a pattern
here. In 1999, Mirriam had fallen because of a cluttered answer. Her successor
is a very intelligent girl who is said to easily answer questions even with
eyes closed - Nina Ricci Alagao. Nina Ricci failed to follow-up on Mirriam’s
success. On the other hand, Shamcey improved Maria Venus Raj’s performance.
What was the big difference? Shamcey, despite training locally showed that she
can improve on the aspects that her critics pointed out. She was even able to
evolve and patented a walk, tsunami walk that made her distinctly unique in the
Miss Universe Beauty Pageant in Brazil. Although she did give a very credible
answer, she wasn't that much at par among the judges as they opted for a more
unassuming pretty girl from Angola.
In 2012, the
organization went the same route. They selected Shamcey Supsup’s first
runner-up, Janine Mari Tugonon who was very much maligned in pageant forums and
discussion boards. Janine possesses a not so astounding facial beauty but she
has the goods in between those two ears of her. But many still did not believe
her. What was really admirable with this girl is that there was a nary of any
rebuttal from her as she silently went into her training and lo and behold, she
was everyone’s word of mouth with her patented walk, the Cobra walk. She was
like Shamcey who was distinctly unique and with her answer to the final
question and answer; she was everyone’s Miss Universe despite the fact that
Miss USA was crowned the winner.

The girls have their
own claim to beauty and fame and it would be really difficult to choose three
winners from these girls. But with the momentum that was set in the last three
years, will the formula finally effective? In the next issues we will discuss
the merits of the girls.
