Destiny niya na mag-compete sa ‘Miss Universe’: AHTISA, pinayuhan ni SHAMCEY na ‘wag masyadong ma-pressure

NAG-SHARE ng words of advice si Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup kay Ahtisa Manalo na siyang mag-represent ng ating bansa sa upcoming Miss Universe pageant in November sa Thailand.
Si Shamcey ang kasalukuyang Miss Universe Philippines National Director.
“Huwag ka lang masyadong ma-pressure. I know a lot of fans love you, and because we love you, they will really try to push you. But I hope you take it positively.
“Not every girl will have that same kind of support. This is once in a lifetime so I hope you make the right decisions, and you stick with it no matter how many people will say don’t do this. Kung ano ang nasa puso mo, gawin mo,” sey ni Shamcey sa send-off party ni Ahtisa.
Naging first runner-up si Ahtisa sa Miss International 2018. After six years ay sumali ito sa Miss Universe PH in 2024 at naging Miss Cosmo PH siya. Sa pagsali niya ulit this year, natupad ang dream niyang mag-compete sa Miss Universe pageant.
Ayon kay Shamcey, destiny iyon ni Ahtisa: “I do believe that there’s destiny. The destiny awaits you. You just have to be ready to grab it. So you do what you can do, the other half, you leave it to fate. I am really, really happy that you tried again.”

INAMIN ni Rachel Alejandro na marami siyang hindi nagawa para sa amang si Hajji Alejandro noong nagkasakit ito.
“‘Yung parang I just wanted him to tell me, ‘Ano ‘yung mga bilin mo?’ Kasi at the end, you want for him to, I wanted him to tell me what he wanted and of course, a lot of it had to do with kung gusto ba niyang to go back to the hospital.
“Sinabi niya na gusto na lang niya nasa bahay na lang siya, ayaw na niyang magpagamot and of course, I wanted, it was the hardest kasi gusto ko siyang lumaban sana,” sey niya.
Pero nagdesisyon na noon ang kanyang ama na manatili na lang sa bahay at sumailalim sa palliative care, isang specialized medical approach kung saan nakatuon ang pansin sa pagpapaganda ng quality of life ng isang taong may malubhang sakit.
Pag-amin ng singer na hindi na niya nasabi sa ama ang gusto niyang mangyari dahil bilang respeto at pagmamahal dito, sumunod na lang niya ang mga gusto nito.
