Miss Universe Philippines (MUP) Organization\u2019s National Director Shamcey Supsup said that rivalry does not exist between the new team and the Aranetas\u2019 Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI).<\/p>\n

The Miss Universe 2011 3rd<\/sup> runner-up clarified this in the first press conference of the organization on Wednesday, January 29.<\/p>\n

Shamcey said that she and all binibinis<\/em> will always be grateful to the Aranetas as a product of Binibini, and she believes that \u201cwe can still support each other, even if we have separate pageants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it should be a rivalry kasi<\/em> (because) what\u2019s the point of having these pageants? We wanna empower, we don\u2019t want to look down on others or pull others down,\u201d she further said.<\/p>\n

The beauty queen also added that this is not the direction that their organizations are looking at and going to.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Shamcey acknowledged that Jorge and Stella Araneta are her wedding godparents, asserting their close relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I don\u2019t think this will have\u2026 magkakaroon ng lamat \u2018yung<\/em> (a strain in our) relationship,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Shamcey hopes for support to be the core of pageantry. She explained that each pageant has a different direction and a different vision.<\/p>\n

It was in early December when the MUP announced through a statement in social media its departure from BPCI after more than 50 years. While grateful, the organization said that it is \u201cfitting that the path to the future be led with vigor and a vision aligned with the transformative purpose of Miss Universe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Miss Universe Organization is thrilled to announce its partnership with Miss Universe Philippines Organization \u2013 a fresh team that will lead the country towards its continued quest to share the beauty and grace of the Filipina to the rest of the world,\u201d the statement read, posted on Monday, December 9.<\/p>\n
