Of course, our basic needs are basic needs di ba. They are food, shelter, and what is the third one? I said that those are the basic needs but in the end we all want to, you know, we all have dreams.

Make sure that we incorporated parang Filipino identity in our show. From the opening to the background and the lighting so hopefully,” sabi pa niya.Kung may pasabog ang mga kandidata, extra special rin ang Miss Universe Philippines this year sa pakikipagtulungan na rin ng Filipino fashion designers.Kabilang na dito ang Dubai based Filipino fashion designer si Furne One Amato na gumawa ng swimsuit ng mga kandidata.Ayon kay Shamcey, hindi ito ordinary swimsuit tulad ng nakasanayan sa mga beauty pageant.“I can say is it’s not the normal swimsuit that you usually see sa mga pageants. So it’s something. Ako I’m so happy with how the [suit turned out]. It’s very classy. That I can say. Kasi ako ayaw ko din masyadong revealing na swimsuits. It’s so exciting to have him design the swimsuits, ? We are very honored that he agreed to do the swimsuits for the girls. There’s symbolism for everything even for the swimsuit. Bakit ganun yung design, ano yung inspiration behind that. The crown even the opening.
