MANILA, Philippines\u2014After a night of beauty and glamour, one name came to fame as 2013 Miss World Philippines\u2014Megan Lynne Young from Olongapo City.<\/p>\n

A familiar face indeed.<\/p>\n

She first tried her luck as an \u201cavenger\u201d in the GMA 7 reality talent search \u201cStarstruck\u201d before she became a member of ABS-CBN\u2019s Star Magic Talent Center where she was given hosting and acting projects.<\/p>\n

It will be recalled that the 23-year-old Fil-Am actress was disqualified from joining the 50th Binibining Pilipinas due to a sexy pictorial she did for a magazine\u2014but she didn\u2019t give up in trying to reach her dream. “There are many risks in joining this\u00a0pageant<\/strong><\/a><\/b>, but it’s only something that happens once in a lifetime. It’s now or never,\u201d Young said.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, August 18, she wowed the audience and the judges at the Solaire Resort and Casino in Pasay City, bested 24 other aspirants and took home P1 million worth of management contract from the pageant organizer, plus gifts and services from the contest\u2019s sponsors.<\/p>\n

A heavy favorite<\/h6>\n

Young has been leading the online and offline surveys prior to the competition\u2014her dominance was further attested by winning major special awards such as Best in Fashion Runway, Miss Sports by Fila, Miss Reducin, Miss Olay, Miss Laguna World, Miss Bold and Glamorous by Revlon, Miss Figlia and Miss Bench Body.<\/p>\n

On August 18, the hashtag #MeganMW2013 also trended worldwide.<\/p>\n

Ms. World 2013 in Indonesia<\/h6>\n

As Megan flies to Indonesia next month, her countrymen are hoping that she will bring home the crown this time. In 2011, Gwendoline Ruais placed second to Ivian Sarcos of Venezuela while Miss World Philippines 2012, Queneerich Rehman made it to the Top 15.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s pageant will be held in Bogor, a city outside the Muslim country of Indonesia. Thus, for the first time in the history of Miss World, a Balinese Beach Fabric contest will replace the bikini pageant.<\/p>\n
