Miss Universe Philippines National Director Shamcey Supsup denied rumors that she walked out after the top 16 of the recent Miss Universe pageant was announced.It can be recalled that Philippine representative Celeste Cortesi did not make the top 16 of the recent pageant. In an interview with Dyan Castillejo, Shamcey remarked that there is no truth to the rumors that she alongside the MUPH team walked out from pageant&#x27;s venue.&quot;I watched &#x27;til the end. That&#x27;s why, I am really saddened and a bit angry to hear malicious rumors saying that we walked out after the top 16. Because it is not true,&quot; she stated.Shamcey further stressed that she was actually seated with her fellow national directors the entire time during the pageant.&quot;I was seated together with the other national directors. I was with Valerie (Lim), the national director of Singapore and Lupita Jones, the national director of Mexico. We were seated together and during the announcement of top 16,&quot; she pointed out.&quot;I know it was not the results that I would have wanted but as a national director myself, I knew that everybody in that section worked really hard into helping their candidates prepare for the pageant. And so I felt like as a respect to these people who are also my friends as well, I stayed in support.&quot;Another allegation that Shamcey addressed in the interview is the rumor that she reportedly left Celeste and did not comfort her after the pageant. She said that the rumor is completely false.Shamcey explained: &quot;I&#x27;ve also been a candidate myself and the usual protocol talaga is after the show, the girls are not on their own... For me before when I was candidate it was us being ushered back to our MU buses that will lead us back to our official hotel where we can change so that we can attend the after-party.&quot;&quot;So I was staying in the same hotel as they (referring to Celeste and the rest of the candidates) are staying so I went ahead because usually that&#x27;s where we see the girls in their hotel right after the show. But then when I got there, I found out that [Celeste] did not go back to the hotel because she wanted to spend time with her family, her mom, her boyfriend, and her friends.&quot;Upon learning that, Shamcey decided to see Celeste the next day to give the beauty queen the chance to spend time with her family.&quot;For me I completely understand how she&#x27;s feeling and that moment, she needed to be with her family so we gave her that time and space. So ang napag-usapan namin okay she is now with her mom in her Airbnb, she&#x27;s spending time there until she needs it because her mom is leaving the next day,&quot; she shared. &quot;And napag-usapan namin sige tomorrow na lang natin siya kitain and as you can see the next day the whole team was there. I was there. Everybody was there. You were there so I just want to erase that notion that she was abandoned and that she was left on her own. It is not true.&quot;The 71st edition of the Miss Universe pageant was held at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States on January 14 (US time).
