Megan Young Is My Miss World Philippines 2013!

It would be the biggest upset of the night if Megan will not get the crown of the Miss World Philippines this coming Sunday. Megan, touted to be the one with the complete package will compete against 24 other candidates for the chance to represent the country this September in the Miss World pageant to be held in Indonesia. Like what I mentioned on my first hot picks, if there’ll be no politics in choosing this year’s winner – hands down, Megan’s in it to win it!

The caliber of Miss Young is similar to those candidates hailing from the Latin pageant powerhouse like Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Her communication skills is superb, she has an international appeal that would cater to anyone and her charm and confidence could win any judges’ approval.

Bianca2. Bianca Paz – I would give her the second best position because I feel that Bianca has been preparing for this ever since she won the runner-up position to Gwendolyn Ruais last 2011 during the first Miss World Philippines edition. It’s not a very lucky year for her because of Megan competing at the same time. It could’ve been a totally different ball game had she join last year or next year if she’s still eligible to do so.

Patricia 3. Patricia Ejercitado – this pageant veteran and Janine Tugonon’s batchmate during the Binibining Pilipinas 2012 is an adorable belle that won’t also be ignored by the judges. She looks fresh and more confident this time around and I can definitely see her winning one of the runners-up posts! Good luck Pat!

KC4.  Henna Kaizelle Nicole “KC” Cajandig  has proven her rights to be in the pageant. She became a filler in this year’s Binibining Pilipinas Gold edition after initially not making it into the final 50 and because of the disqualification of Maria Theresa Fenger but she bounced back from it, gained the experience from Binibini and is now the new candidate #1. KC is pretty, fresh and very much adorable…the camera loves here so I’m betting that the judges would love her as well come pageant night.

Janicel5. Janicel Lubina – This girl has got the beauty, the body and the X Factor that any beauty pageant would appreciate. It’s just too bad that, IMO she’s still a wee bit young and may not have the wisdom to carry her to the next level. Beauty-wise, she could compete internationally but she would have to hone her communication skills more. This girl is made for Miss Universe so crowning her or even the rumors spreading of Pre-selecting her as this year’s winner would be a big mistake! Let the girl gain some experience from this and have her join the Miss Universe Philippines pageant in a year or two!

My Miss World Philippines 2013 First Hot Picks!

A week from now, the new Miss World Philippines will be crowned and will have the task to win the first blue crown for the country. Twenty-six lovely girls are vying for the crown but only one can win the most coveted title. I was trying to do a Top 10 Hot Picks but I decided to just pick three girls whom I think had the strongest chances of making the top 3. This could very well change in a week’s time so I’d be posting the first one today and my final hot picks a day before the pageant. Here are my Top 3 Hot Picks!

MWP 2013 First HotPicks

Miss World Philippines 2013 – Megan Young (Olongapo City)

Why Megan? The 23-year old celebrity is still the one to beat in this competition. She’s the prettiest out of all the contestants this year and her presentation thus far is flawless. Let no politics be played and we’ll see Megan wearing the Philippine sash in Indonesia this September.

First Princess – Melanie Barret (Pampanga)

Melanie is a fresh face in the Philippines pageant circuit and I love that she’s raw but still ready to battle it out with the more experienced candidates. I love her mestiza look and her pedigree would surely catapult her on top.

2nd Princess – Bianca Paz (Taguig City)

Bianca’s trying it out for the second time after winning second to the first Miss World Philippines and eventual Miss World 2011 first princess Gwendolyn Ruais. She came ready to win the crown but I think she kinda lost her spark. I’m still waiting for her amazing performance on the 18th but for now, I won’t discard her into my top 3.

Is Megan Young The One?

Megan Young In Red

After an alleged attempt to join and be denied from the screening at the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant held earlier this year, Actress Megan Young is now targeting the Miss World Philippines crown for a chance to represent the country to this year’s Miss World that will be held in Indonesia and win the first blue crown for the Philippines.

Megan is best know as an alumna of the now defunct star search StarStruck from GMA 7 and was also a  housemate at ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2 She is currently a university student taking Digital Film Making at the De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde.

The 23 year old star is now touted as the one to beat at the upcoming third edition of the Miss World Philippines this August to be broadcast by her previous mother network, GMA 7.

Megan Young Was Denied To Screen For The Binibining Pilipinas 2013?

I was just about to go to sleep when I got a tweet suggesting that Megan Young might have been turned down by the Binibining Pilipinas Organization for their 50th annual beauty pageant. I immediately checked the Missosology pageant site for confirmation. While there’s no official word from Megan herself, the tweets from her handler Jonas Gaffud and a close associate strongly imply that Megan didn’t pass the screening process; in fact, she didn’t even get the opportunity to screen at all.

Megan has been a heavy favorite of many pageant fans since last year, and this year, she was supposedly training very hard for the pageant, but alas, the stars and the whole universe are against her.

Apparently, there was an “emergency screening” that happened yesterday afternoon, and this is one of the results of that sad day.

The organization’s view of these types of things is so outdated! Many aspirants worldwide were allowed to compete in their national pageant (some even posing nude), and Megan’s shot is for a fashion magazine, for jeez sake! It irks me that they are being so uptight about this. When will they stop wasting beautiful modern Filipinas? 

I am now hoping that Megan will join the rival pageant of Binibini, The Miss World Philippines, and aim to get the first blue crown for the Philippines! Madame Stella’s loss is Cory Quirino’s gain!

For the record, the report about her disqualification hasn’t been 100% confirmed yet. I’m still hoping for Megan to be allowed to join and give the candidates this year a run for their money and high heels!

Is Megan Young 2013 Binibining Pilipinas Bound?

The uber-gorgeous Megan Young - is she the one?
The uber-gorgeous Megan Young – is she the one?

A lot of rumors and speculations are spreading around the blogosphere about the young actress “finally” joining the 50th edition of the Binibining Pilipinas. After the first runner-up feat of Janine Tugonon from last year’s Miss Universe, Pinoy netizens and pageant fans alike are already on the lookout for the next representative who could finally win that elusive third Miss Universe crown for the Philippines.

Megan Young, a talent from ABS-CBN, is considered the best representative for the said pageant only if she decides to submit an application first and pass the screening process of the Binibining Pilipinas Organization.

Last year, she was heavily rumored “to join” the national pageant but allegedly backed out up to the last minute for unknown reasons – or maybe this would explain it.

In any case, if ever Miss Young finally decides to join the pageant, I’m pretty sure that she’ll have the utmost advantage of being a celebrity and having legions of pageant fans supporting her, including myself, so best of luck, Megan!
