She wrote, “10 years ago I was crowned Binibining Pilipinas-Universe and I will be forever grateful to @bbpilipinasofficial for the opportunity of a lifetime; to represent the Philippines in the [Miss] Universe Stage.”

Shamcey added that she couldn't believe that she would go that far in the competition, since she's a first-timer.

“As a first-timer in the pageant world, I never thought that I would go far in the competition,

“But I also believed that we are place in a position for a purpose and I hope that I was able to serve mine.

“My reign ended but the universe has continuously blessed me with opportunities to empower women and I hope to continue doing so in the next 10 years or more.
