In 2011, Supsup joined the 48th edition of the Binibining Pilipinas pageant. During the question and answer portion, she was asked: "With what worthy cause do you identify yourself and why?" She responded:[10]

"I think one worthy cause I can identify myself is valuing education because I believe that education is something that cannot be taken away from you. You can have money, you can have fame. But in the end, it can be taken from you. But education will always be there to help you in your life."[10]

At the end of the event, Supsup won the title of Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2011 during the coronation night held at the Araneta Coliseum on April 10, 2011 alongside the Miss Philippine Airlines, Miss Talent and Miss Creamsilk awards.[11][12]

"If I had to change my religious beliefs, I will not marry the person that I love because the first person that I love is God, who created me. And I have my faith, my principles, and this is what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God too."[15]
