MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) highlighted the need for formulation of new measures in addressing the street dwelling problems in the metropolis amid the proliferation of minors being involved in robbery.
A ticker-tape parade in Makati City awaits Miss Universe third runner-up Shamcey Supsup upon her return to the Philippines.


Amante Salvador, head of the Street Dweller Care Unit of the MMDA, cited that the street dwelling in Metro Manila and even in other parts of the country is a recurring problem, citing “we will rescue them today but soon after, they would return to the streets again.”
In an article posted on the city government web portal, Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay Jr. said Supsup had graduated salutatorian from Makati High School (MHS).


This year, some 4,250 street dwellers were rounded up in a series of clearing operations in some parts of Metro Manila. He said MMDA's street dweller care unit brings in the vagrants to the Jose Fabella Center of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in Mandaluyong City for proper identification and documentation.
"We are truly proud that Shamcey was a product of a Makati public school. Apparently, the city has not only produced outstanding alumni with scholastic achievements, but has also helped develop a world-class beauty queen," Binay said.


Meanwhile, the Makati City police station is boosting its visibility as a measure against suspected members of the group, "''Batang Hamog''," known to attack drivers and passengers inside their vehicles while stuck in traffic in Guadalupe, Makati City.
Miss Universe 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup said the support she received from Filipinos motivated her to do well in the pageant. Reuters


Last week, Supt. Jaime Santos, officer in charge of the Makati City police, said at least 10 minors, with ages ranging from 9 to 14 years old, have been turned over to the Makati City Social Welfare and Development (MSWD).
Aside from the ticker-tape parade along Ayala Avenue, a visit to Makati High School, where Supsup graduated in 2003, is also being prepared.
 
Binay said he has written Stella Araneta, who chairs the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) regarding the planned welcome for Supsup.
 
Supsup ranked a place higher than her predecessor, Venus Raj, who was fourth runner-up in the 2010 pageant.
 
Leila Lopes of Angola was crowned the 60th Miss Universe, making her the first titleholder from her country.
 
Aside from Supsup, the others who are part of Lopes' entourage are:
*Miss Ukraine Olesya Stefanko (1st runner-up);
*Miss Brazil Priscila Machado (2nd runner-up); and
*Miss China Luo Zilin (4th runner up).
 
'''Transferee at Makati HS'''
 
The same article said Supsup was a sophomore transferee at Makati High School, and shone not only in academics but also in extra-curricular activities.
 
She was an active member of their Supreme Student Council, it said.
 
Also, she was sent to Japan as an exchange scholar student for 2001-2002 and had represented the school in various leadership seminars.
 
"Showing signs of being destined to be a beauty queen early on, she won in beauty competitions in high school, such as Lakambini ng Aklatan, and was a favourite choice as muse in their school’s intramurals and proms, among others," the statement said.
 
Supsup, born on May 16, 1986 in General Santos City, is a licensed architect and topped the Architecture Licensure Examination in July 2010 after graduating magna cum laude from the University of the Philippines-Diliman. — '''RSJ, GMA News'''
