Throwback Thursday -- Week 51 (2018). Pageant fever got me thinking back to 2013. I admit that I'm not much into pageants and all, but some years back, there was one candidate I liked a lot and felt strongly that she would make it big. It was also the first time I was passionately involved in following her journey from the local Miss World Philippines competition to the international Miss World 2013 contest.
Back in October 2013, I saw her in person for the very first time. I've been an avid supporter online since her Misibis Bay stint -- a soap opera featured on TV5. (She knew of me and have interacted with some of my posts in the past. Yey!) It was the homecoming of Miss World 2013 Megan Lynne Young. Her parade ended at the atrium of the SM MOA.
I'm happy that I have eventually met her up close and personal. I also have our photos together, plus the poster that she signed for me. In my heart, she's my one and only Miss World.

During her childhood, some often tag her as an "ugly" girl. But that never stopped Megan from achieving her dream.
At the age of 15, she already had an interest in showbiz when she joined a reality talent search in GMA7 called "Starstruck". She had been a threat to other contestants knowing she has the talent, wit and beauty. Unfortunately, she placed in the top six.

After two years of stay in GMA Network Center, she soon transferred to ABS-CBN and started to establish her own name. She appeared in some shows like Kokey and I love Betty La Fea. She became much more famous when she became one of the celebrity housemates in Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2.
in 2009, Megan Young was one of the video jockeys of Channel [v] Philippines and also a host in some shows in Studio 23. Some movies were also starred by her.
ROAD TO THE CROWN - Her mom said in an interview in GMA7's morning show Unang Hirit that at first Megan was still undecided whether she will pursue joining Miss World Philippines. But Megan remembered interviewing a beauty queen and hence inspired her to join the contest.
In the same interview, Megan's mom said that at first it was just a game. "Nung una laro laro lang, binibihisan namin siya ganun pero hindi namin alam na eto ang mapupuntahan ng bata (refering to Megan)."
MISS WORLD PHILIPPINES - Held last August 18 at Solaire Resort and Casino, Pasay City.
Her name was already standing out during the Preliminary Competitions. She had won many special awards namely: Best in Fashion Runway, Miss Revlon, Miss Figlia,Miss Sports Fila , Miss Laguna World and Miss Bench Body .

Megan placed in three of the five challenge events (formerly called fast track): first in the Top Model category, fourth in the Multimedia category, and fifth among the 11 finalists in the Beach Fashion Final.
Megan topped 127 other contestants around the world with her winning answer:
"Miss World for me treasures the core value of humanity and that guides her into understanding people, why they act the way that they do, how they're living their lives and I will use these core values in my understanding not only in helping others but to show other people how they can understand others, to help others so that as one, together, we shall help society,"
She was crowned by Wenxia Yu, Miss World 2012. Runners up were Marine Lorphelin of France as the First Runner up and Naa Okailey Shooter Ghana as the 2nd runner up.
