Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner up Shamcey Supsup said sports tourism will promote competitiveness and excellence as she impressed the crowd in Wednesday’s launching of the 65th Interclub Golf Tournament of the Philippine Airlines at The Marco Polo Davao.
“I applaud sports tourism because it will help us become competitive and help us climb to excellence,” she said.
Ms. Supsup, proclaimed as Miss PAL 2011, wowed those present who admired her beauty and took turns for photographs and admiring her fluency in English and her wit.
Growing up in General Santos City, Shamcey said her mom, an engineer, and dad, a farmer, were her inspiration from childhood to where she is now.
She drew such “competitive spirit” from her parents who, she said she treasures so much.
Speaking on sports, Shamcey said the spirit of sports and competitiveness were first instilled in her as a very ordinary child in General Santos playing patintero, luksong tinik, and other traditional childhood games.
She commended boxing icon and kababayan Manny Pacquiao, as a true model of competitive spirit given the huge success he has achieved in the field of boxing.
