A ticker-tape parade in Makati City awaits Miss Universe third runner-up Shamcey Supsup upon her return to the Philippines. | |||
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). | |||
"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. | |||
Miss Universe 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup said the support she received from Filipinos motivated her to do well in the pageant. Reuters | |||
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''' | |||

MANILA, Philippines – A Makati court has issued a 20-day temporary restraining order (TRO) on the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA)'s campaign to take down large billboards in Metro Manila. | |||
The court sided with the Outdoor Advertising Association of the Philippines, which filed a complaint after MMDA officials dismantled an advertising material of one of its members located in Kalayaan Avenue in Makati. | |||
The complaint said the billboard was erected within a private property. | |||
The billboard’s dismantling caused legal problems with the company’s client. | |||
MMDA, meanwhile, expressed dismay over the TRO. | |||
“''Nakakatakot po ‘yung ganito kasi policy decisions ng pamahalaan na para sa kabutihan naman ng lahat, na kasama na din ang public safety kasi kapag may bagyo pinaparolyo natin iyan, e ngayon pahihintuin ka,''” said MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino. | |||
MMDA said the billboard was taken down because it violated the building code. | |||
According to the National Building Code, billboards must not exceed one-third of the roof’s building and must be at least 5 meters from the road. | |||
MMDA added that only 18 billboards in Quezon City have permits. | |||
The agency is planning to appeal the court’s decision. -- '''Report from Gretchen Malalad, ABS-CBN News''' | |||
