And the Miss World 2013 is...

Miss Philippines Megan Young!!!

Miss World 2013 has just concluded and Megan Young is the winner, beating 126 other delegates, including heavy favorites Miss Brazil who finished in the Top 5 and Miss France who placed 2nd.

In 3rd was Miss Ghana.

I was so nervous during the announcement of winners, especially after Ghana and France were called as the runners-up. I was already expecting a huge upset, especially that Miss Brazil, who was a heavy favorite along with Megan, wasn't called as a runner-up.

But thanks, Philippines was the one revealed as the Miss World 2013 winner. That was the most fantastic announcement I've ever heard this year haha.

It's indeed one historic win for the Philippines as this is the first time ever that the country won the Miss World crown.

Good job Megan! You make us all so proud! We initially wanted you to be the 3rd Miss Universe of the Philippines, but as luck would have it, you were fated to win Miss World Philippines 2013 and now, you become the 1st Miss World titleholder from the Philippines.

This is also the 2nd major beauty title that the Philippines won in a month. Earlier this September, Mutya Datul won the Miss Supranational 2013 title, also a first of the Philippines.

And in less than a year, we have been winning so many pageant titles. In November 2012, June Macasaet won Manhunt International and Kevin Balot as Miss International Queen, and last January, the Miss Tourism International crown brought home by Rizzini Alexis Gomez.

At the end of the show, she did not forget to thank the Filipinos using Tagalog! I will say no more.. it's exciting to watch the airing of the show later.. :)


Well, all I can say is CONGRATULATIONS Megan Young! :)
