SASHES AND TIARAS....Actress Megan Young Crowned Miss World Philippines 2013

Actress Megan Young was named Miss World Philippines 2013 during the Finals which occurred last night, Sunday, August
18. The 2013 Miss World Philippines pageant took place in Solaire Resort and Casino in Pasay City. 23-year-old Megan Lynne Young--who stands 1. 73m (5' 8")--will now represent the Philippines in the Miss World 2013 pageant in Indonesia in September (The Miss World 2013 Finals are September 28th).









The 23-year-old actress-turned-beauty queen, who bested 24 other
contestants for the coveted title, also won SIX (out of the 17) special awards during
the pageant. Besides winning the top crown, Megan Young also won "Best in Fashion Runway", "Miss Sports by FILA", "Miss Bold and Glamorous by Revlon", "Miss Olay", "Miss World Laguna", "Miss Bench Body".













Young is an alumna of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 and
starred in several ABS-CBN shows including "Precious Hearts Romances",
"Maalaala Mo Kaya" and "Betty La Fea". It's not the average path for Beauty Queen-dom to first be a well-known and popular young actress to then, become a beauty queen; it's usually the other way around. But then again, this IS The Philippines and being a Beauty Queen sometimes takes higher priority.











Megan is the third holder of the "Miss World Philippines" title since
the franchise’s separation from the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc.,
which handles the Philippine representation to the Miss Universe
pageant. The "Miss World Philippines" franchise is owned by CQGQI--Cory Quirino Global Quest, Inc.The actress will follow the footsteps of 2011 Miss World first
runner-up Gwendoline Ruais and 2012 Miss World top 15 contender
Queenierich Rehman.

Megan during Evening Gown Competition:



Gown Perfect: Megan looked STUNNING during the evening gown portion of last night's contest. I absolutely LOVED this royal blue and silver sequined see-thru gown with plunging neckline and satin waistband. The gown was superbly made; looked red carpet appropriate; not at all "Pageant Betty"..in other words: I Approve! The hair and minimal accessories also finished off the look perfectly. This woman knows what she is doing (or at least she's got a team around her that does!).
