GENERAL Santos City--Wild cheers and enthusiastic smiles greeted 2011 Miss Universe 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup as she finally returned home to this city yesterday morning to a rousing homecoming celebration "fit for a returning queen." | |||
Thousands of residents crowded the city's main streets to get a glimpse of the returning beauty queen who was third runner-up in the 60th Miss Universe pageant last week in Sao Paolo, Brazil. | |||
Supsup, who was accom-panied by her mother Marcey, arrived at the city airport here at around 9:05 am aboard a private jet from Manila amid a colorful welcome cultural presentation and an upbeat tune from a waiting brass band. | |||
She was met by her father Timoteo, city officials led by Mayor Darlene Custodio and Rep. Pedro Acharon Jr. as well hundreds of other well-wishers. | |||
Supsup, who appeared elegant in a white and blue gown adorned with her Miss Universe sash, was later joined by her parents, Mayor Custodio and Rep. Acharon in the royalty-themed float prepared by city hall for the motorcade from the city airport to the city proper. | |||
During the nearly two-hour motorcade, residents came out and lined up along the sides of the city's streets to cheer the 25-year-old beauty queen who grew up in Barangay Katangawan here. | |||
On some public and private office buildings were tarpaulins and streamers welcoming Supsup and congratulating her Miss Universe feat. | |||
Some 5,000 people greet-ed Supsup's motorcade at the city hall grounds where a brief welcome program and press conference was held. | |||
"This is our way of showing our deep appreciation to Shamcey for bringing honor and pride to the city of General Santos," Custodio said. | |||
Supsup thanked residents and officials for supporting her and for the rousing home-coming celebration. | |||
"I'm so excited and really happy to be back home. I can't thank you enough for the all-out support that you have given me these past months," she said. pna | |||
