Shamcey visits Ambassador Betita
Miss Universe Philippines Shamcey Supsup took time out from her hectic Miss Universe schedule to pay a visit to one of her most avid “cheerleaders” in Brazil, Eva Betita, the Philippine Ambassador to Brazil. Ambassador Betita is an “Iskolar ng Bayan” just like Shamcey and graduated from the University of the Philippines. Shamcey also thanked Amb. Betita for rooting for her and rallying Brazil-based Pinoys to vote for her in the Miss Universe online voting. |

|
Producer will take the average of the total votes from the IP addresses originating from each country. Each country vote will then count as 1 vote, and be averaged with all of the other country votes to give the contestant a final score. |
|
Example: 200 people from Canada vote for Miss Universe Norway and the average of those votes equals a 6, and 800 people from Norway vote for Miss Universe Norway and the average of those votes equals an 8. Canada’s country vote (6) and Norway’s country vote (8) are each counted as 1 vote and are averaged to give Miss Universe Norway a final score of 7. |
