Miss Philippines Elaine Kay Moll had a 4th place finish (3rd runner up) in the 2012 Miss Supranational pageant held in Warsaw, Poland. Elaine Kay Moll is the Philippines' first representative to the said pageant.

The grand coronation night of the Poland-based pageant was held September 14 and Miss Belarus Ekaterina Buraya was crowned Miss Supranational 2012 in the 4th edition of what was dubbed as the world's fastest-growing pageant. Poland's very own Monika Lewczuk crowned her successor at the finals night.

The Philippine franchise for Miss Supranational was reportedly acquired by BPCI prior to its holding this year's pageant. However, the Bb. Pilipinas-Supranational crown was not given. Elaine Kay Moll, the first runner up of Bb. Pilipinas 2012 was handpicked by the organizers to participate in Miss Supranational.

Elaine is the first Bb. Pilipinas 2012 beauty to be fielded in an international pageant and this is quite a good start for the country. The Philippine representative to Miss World, Queenierich Rehman also did well, landing in the Top 15 and making world headlines with her beatboxing skills.

Kudos to Elaine Kay Moll. Going up there without much preparations and landing in the top 5 out of 53 candidates is a great achievement. You make us all proud!

Shamcey Supsup Engaged to Boyfriend Lloyd Lee

Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner up Shamcey Supsup was surprised by boyfriend Lloyd Lee and gave her a promise ring as a sign of commitment to their relationship.

In an interview with The Buzz Sunday, April 8, Lloyd Lee revealed how he gave the 'engagement' ring to Shamcey.

“Nasa Shang kami eh tumitingin-tingin kami ng rings. Parati niya kasi akong binibiro. Sabi niya, ‘Gusto mo na talaga, na parang ma-engage tayo, wala ka pa namang binibigay na singsing sa akin.’ Eh ’yun sinorprays ko. Akala niya naghahanap pa lang kami ng ring, ’yun pala pagdating namin sa parking doon ko sinabi na, ‘Parang ikaw na talaga. Ito na oh.’ Si­nuot ko ganun lang siya. ’Di ba ang engagement usually one year ’yung gap sa marriage? Eh hindi pa naman kami magpapakasal kaya naisip ko lang na ibigay ’yung ring sa kanya na promise ko na hindi talaga ako ever na titingin sa iba na. Talagang siya na talaga for me.”

Host Charlene Gonzales asked Shamcey if there are wedding plans for 2013 but Shamcey did not confirm the plans.

Meanwhile, Shamcey and the rest of Bb. Pilipinas titleholders will be seen together this April 15 for the grand coronation night of Binibining Pilipinas 2012 at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.
