MANILA \u2013 Philippines\u2019 Hillarie Danielle Parungao secured a Top 10 spot and bagged the \u201cMultimedia\u201d Award in the 2015 Miss World pageant held in Sanya, China on December 19.<\/p>\n

Unable to make it to the Top 5, Parungao placed fourth in the \u201cleaderboard\u201d after earning high points from the pageant\u2019s preliminary activities, especially in the \u201cTop Model\u201d and \u201cBeauty With A Purpose\u201d events.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the Top 10, the 24-year-old beauty queen maintained the country\u2019s standing in the international pageant. Gwendoline Ruais won first runner-up in 2011; Queneerich Rehman finished in the Top 15 in 2012; Megan Young won the crown in 2013; and Velerie Weigmann figured in the Top 25 last year.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Miss World title was given to Spain\u2019s Mireia Lalaguna Royo, who also received the \u201cTop Model\u201d Award. It was the country\u2019s first-ever victory in the beauty pageant.<\/p>\n

Royo was then followed by Russia\u2019s Sofia Nikitchuck at second place; Indonesia\u2019s Maria Harfanti at third; Jamaica\u2019s Sanetta Myrie at fourth; and Lebanon\u2019s Valerie Abou Chacra who scored a Top 5 finish.<\/p>\n

Harfanti was also given the \u201cBeauty With A Purpose\u201d Award, while Guyana\u2019s Lisa Punch topped the Talent competition; \u00a0Namibia\u2019s Steffi Van Wyk earned the highest points in the Sports and Fitness challenge; and Vietnam\u2019s Tr\u1ea7n Ng\u1ecdc Lan Khu\u00ea received the \u201cPeople\u2019s Choice\u201d and the \u201cWorld Fashion Designer Dresses\u201d Awards.<\/p>\n

Young hosted the 65th Miss World, along with Tim Vincent and Angela Chow.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Miss Canada delegate Anastasia Lin, who is Chinese-born, was unable to make it to the coronation night after being barred from entering China, a communist nation, last month allegedly for being an outspoken critic of the Chinese religious policies.<\/p>\n
