Miss Universe 2011 Leila Lopes accused of faking documents

 
Miss Universe 2011 winner Miss Angola Leila Lopes is being accused of using fake documents to enter qualifying competition Miss Angola United Kingdom in 2010.

Miss Universe Organization, L.P. LLLP

Barely two weeks after winning the Miss Universe 2011 crown, Miss Angola, Leila Lopes, finds herself in the midst of a broiling controversy.

The 25-year-old beauty queen has been accused of using fake documents to qualify for Miss Angola United Kingdom last year.

According to the Beauty Pageant News website, an Argentinian newspaper reported that Lopes forged documents to join the competition last October 2010.

This was said to be the qualifying contest for Lopes to officially represent Angola in the Miss Universe.

The documents allegedly showed her as a business management student at a British school making her an eligible candidate.

The forgery was reportedly done by a certain man named Charles Mukano, who was said to be responsible for organizing the competition.

Since the competition was for Angolan citizens living in the U.K., the Argentinian newspaper also stated that Lopes is not qualified to enter the Miss Universe pageant, according to the article published on entertainment site Metro Masti on September 18.

The report said, "The route that Leila Lopes took was that for Angolan citizens living in the United Kingdom where as the crowned Miss Universe model had never lived out of Angola."

If the accusation is true, the Miss Universe crown might be taken away from Lopes.

Meanwhile, Manila Bulletin reported on September 16 that the Miss Universe Organization told the AOL Latino that they do not know Mukano.

It also clarified that the organizer of the Miss Angola pageant is Renato Guttler.

Likewise, it denied the accusation of falsification of documents against Lopes, who is the first candidate from Angola to win the crown.

Following Miss Angola in the ranking at the Miss Universe 2011 were Miss Ukraine Olesia Stefanko (1st runner-up), Miss Brazil Priscilla Machado (2nd runner-up), Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup (3rd runner-up), and Miss China Luo Zilin (4th runner-up).

Shamcey to tackle architectural projects

By JULIEN MERCED C. MATABUENA

September 20, 2011, 12:52pm

MANILA, Philippines – Despite reportedly getting numerous proposals for different endorsements, Miss Universe 2011 third runner-up and architecture board topnotcher Shamcey Supsup opts to busy herself with charity works and architectural projects.

According to a report on “Unang Hirit” on Sept. 20, Department of Transportation and Communications Secretary Mar Roxas has already offered Supsup to design for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 renovation project.

“[And mag-]design an airport, hindi lahat nakakagawa niyan. Like, ‘yan ‘yung dream project ng karamihan ng architects. So it’s a pleasure, it’s my honor to be part of that team to design the NAIA,” the beauty queen said.

A separate story on “Umagang Kay Ganda” also on Tuesday relayed that Supsup was appointed as the Araneta Center’s Green Building Architectural Consultant. More, she is also already in talks with Gawad Kalinga in relation to building houses for the victims of typhoon Ondoy in 2009.
“Ako rin I was also a victim of Ondoy kaya alam ko how it is to have your homes flooded,” Supsup, currently a resident of Cainta, Rizal, said.


‘It’s a rollercoaster ride!’

Supsup has been busy with activities since coming home Sunday morning. After a press conference and a TV appearance that day, the beauty queen made a courtesy call to President Noynoy Aquino before his flight to the US. On Monday, a victory parade was held starting at the Araneta Coliseum.

The parade proceeded to the Quezon City Hall where Supsup was welcomed by hoards of fans, QC Mayor Herbert Bautista and Councilor Alfred Vargas, among others.

Supsup and her entourage also made stops at her alma maters, the University of the Philippines in Diliman and Makati High School, and in Cainta. She was given honors by UP, the Gawad Lakad Tagkan by the Makati government, and was hailed as the Most Outstanding Citizen of Cainta.
Talking about the warm reception she has been receiving since her return, Supsup likened her experience to being on a rollercoaster ride.

“Sabi ko nga po hindi ko na kailangan ng korona. Kumbaga the fact lang na gano’n yung pagtrato nila sa ‘kin, sobra-sobra na po ‘yon,” Supsup told “UH.”
The beauty queen also said that she has already accepted her third runner-up finish “with an open heart, with a grateful heart.”
Asked about her relationship with beau Lloyd Lee, Supsup told “UKG,” “There are things na I think should be left private.”

Meanwhile, Supsup is already in General Santos City where she will grace whole day activities put together in her honor. The activities, as reported by “UH,” include a victory motorcade, a press conference, a trip back to her hometown in Brgy. Katanggawan and a mini variety show in the evening.

US BASED FILIPINA RACIST MOST HATED WOMEN IN PHL!

MANILA, Philippines – A remark made by a US-based Filipina on Twitter following the results of Miss Universe 2011 raised an online firestorm on Tuesday.

User Mary Claire Gonzalez (@MC_Gale) tweeted, “eww miss Philippines looks like a tranny and she has the fugliest name of life!!!!”

Gonzalez also added the hashtag “#notproud” to her tweet.

Gonzalez referred to Miss Universe candidate Shamcey Supsup, who finished 4th place in the Miss Universe 2011 competition held in Sao Paulo, Brazil Monday night (Tuesday morning in Manila).

Following Gonzalez’s tweet, many netizens criticized her for what they felt was a direct insult to the beauty queen.

“If you say that @MC_Gale whoever is she, is just saying her opinion, it's obviously not! She's insulting a person,” tweeted @claralovesyew.

“We should blacklist @MC_Gale in the Philippines, she doesn't have the right to call herself a Filipino!” said @IAmChrisGun.

Supsup also finished 2nd to Miss Venezuela's Vanessa Gonçalves in the online fan ranking with 7.0 of the global online votes.

Many Filipinos felt that the 25-year-old Supsup should have won, or at least placed higher than her 3rd runner-up finish, including beauty queens Ruffa Gutierrez, Lara Quigaman and Miriam Quiambao.

“I’m disappointed that PHILIPPINES didn’t place higher but nevertheless Shamcey did an excellent job in representing our country! BRAVO!!” tweeted Gutierrez.

“Congratulations Shamcey! 3rd runner up! A place higher last year…Were proud of you! Ikaw pa rin winner ko! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!” said Quigaman.

Even Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago chimed in, saying she would protest the results of the pageant if she had her way.

Santiago had described the Miss Philippines bet as an "ideal candidate (who) represented the best of the Filipina."

Miss Angola's Leila Lopes was crowned Miss Universe 2011.

Miss Ukraine Olesya Stefanko finished as first runner-up while Brazil's Priscila Machado placed 2nd runner-up. -- Report from TJ Manotoc, ABS-CBN News

Beauty queen Shamcey Supsup leads in Miss Universe online tally

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines representative to the 2011 Miss Universe pageant Shamcey Supsup has taken the lead in the pageant's online fan voting system by cornering 25.8% of the total number of votes (or some 1,578 votes, according to missosology.org).
On second spot is Puerto Rico’s Viviana Ortiz with 745 votes or 12.2%, followed by St. Lucia, Indonesia and Mexico.
In a different online voting site launched by the television network Telemundo, “TV Patrol” reported that Shamcey is also number one with 1,288,817 votes. Venezuela is a close second with 1,0671,101 while Nicaragua is at third with 688,234 votes.
For the first time in the history of the Miss Universe competition, the pageant is incorporating a global fan vote system that will fast-track a contestant to the semi-finals. In last year’s competition, the prestigious pageant also initiated an online survey, however the results did not carry a weight in the judges' choices, as said in the “TV Patrol” report.
Miss Universe 2010 4th Runner up, Maria Venus Raj, who was the Philippines’ candidate, was among the contestants who got the most number of online votes, which revealed her popularity among netizens.
The 2011 Miss Universe's online poll will be open until Sept. 11. Anyone can cast a vote, 10 times a day per e-mail address, as the official result  will be revealed during the Miss Universe coronation night on Sept. 12.

A father’s joy
Shamcey's father Timoteo Supsup is overwhelmed by his daughter's initial success.
In bomboradyo’s Aug. 26 report, Timoteo was quoted as saying that he’s also gathering support for her daughter in their area, Barangay Katangawan.
He expressed gratitude to the employees of the city government of Gen San for taking time to disseminate information about the online voting mechanics. Joining them in swelling support for Shamcey are her former high school and grade school classmates.

Shamcey Supsup Needs Our Vote to Enter Miss Universe Semifinals

One contestant with the highest online votes will fast-track to the semifinals of Miss Universe 2011.
The Miss Universe Organization has announced that for the first time in the history of the MISS UNIVERSE® competition, the pageant is incorporating a global fan vote that may automatically advance a contestant to the semifinals.
The Philippines is a powerhouse when it comes to online voting but lately, we are getting beaten by Thailand and Vietnam in this thing. So if we can only unite once more and spread the word, we may have another Miss Universe semifinalist this year.

Shamcey Supsup’s National Costume for Miss Universe 2011 – What If?

Source: Image courtesy Rajo Laurel via OPMB

If given the chance to design Shamcey Supsup‘s national costume for Miss Universe 2011, top designer Rajo Laure. 
And here’s what he has to say about the design:
“For the National costume I wanted to do something inspired by the Mountain province region. I have always been intrigued by the Benguet dance involving the balancing of several pots on the head ‘Palayok’. I wanted to do a modern female version of the bahag made out of gold, red and wood beads with a silk fringe bahag. Something provocative and sexy with lots of skin. I think this part of our heritage should be celebrated!”
