One of the heavy favorites as the pageant progressed, Shamcey impressed fans with her answer during the Q and A portion. Judge Vivica A. Fox asked Miss Philippines if she would change her religion to marry someone she loves. Shamcey answered no.

"I would not change my religion because, first of all, I love my God who created me and if that person truly loves me, he must also love my God," she said.


Throughout the competition, Shamcey was among the top placers in NBC.com’s Miss Universe fan voting poll.
