“Securing a place in the top 10 is a remarkable achievement in itself. You have put the Philippines back on the map as a pageant powerhouse, and for that, we are immensely grateful,” she said.

“In my heart, I still believe you deserved a spot in the top 5. But as I often say, we can only control so much; the rest is beyond our grasp,” the beauty queen said.

“Yet, in uniting the Filipino people and showing that kindness can indeed move mountains and create change, you have already triumphed. We eagerly await your return, our Queen. You've made us all so proud,” Shamcey concluded in her post.

Last year, Shamcey also posted a heartfelt and honest social media post for Celeste Cortesi, the Philippines' bet for Ms Universe 2022. The MUPH director praised Celeste for fighting bravely in representing the Philippines at the 71st Miss Universe pageant. Despite failing to crack the Top 16, Shamcey said that Celeste was able to make Filipinos proud through her performance. Shamcey added that their experience at the 71st Miss Universe was a lesson in humility, teaching them to stay grounded.

In 2021, Shamcey's post where she and her husband Lloyd Lee were photographed in an unidentified place near a dock showing several speedboats went viral. In the photo, one can see Shamcey hugging Lloyd in a very sweet and endearing manner. What made the photo more amazing is the huge rainbow in the backdrop. It is unclear whether Shamcey is still in the US with the Ms. Universe-Philippines team.
