WINNING A CROWN

The year when Philippines had its sweetest, memorable, historic, happiest and celebrated win in a pageant when the country finally clinched the elusive blue crown, Filipina beauty queen Meagan Lyn Talde Young, 23, won the 2013 Miss World in Jakarta Indonesia, besting other 126 contestants to become the 63^rd Miss World.

Miss World is such a prestigious beauty contest, enjoying the reputation as the original, the first and the oldest of its kind.  This is Philippines’ only missing crown among the beauty pageants’ big-4, making the country’s fans were determined and excited to clinch a title.

Philippines has been very passionate to win the Miss World title.  Since 1973 when the Philippines placed first runner up and later rejected to assume the dethroned winner, and duplicating the highest placement in 2011, Philippines has almost win the crown twice.  The country has been consistently serious in sending the best candidates but the perfect time has not yet just come.  Until a US-born Filipina actress vied the title and made history as the first Pinay to win the Miss World crown.

Megan showed her winning edges in winning and topping the events during the preliminaries and dominated the leader board updates to make it in the first cut.  Her regal look in a glittering pearl soft pink gown, fierce catwalk, talent and sincere winning answer why should she be the Miss World, made Meagan clearer to become winner of the year’s edition of Miss World.

“Miss World for me treasures the core value of humanity and that guides her into understanding people, why they act the way they do, how they're living their lives and I will use these core values in my understanding not only in helping others but to show other people how they can understand others, to help others so that as one, together, we shall help society”.

Meagan’s win is envisioned to become the best Miss World ever and a possible one of the most beautiful Miss World winners.  Her beauty that never enhanced by any medical procedure is truly an authentic.   Meagan Young is deserved to win the crown, and so with Philippines is deserved to wait this long overdue coveted title because winning the crown this long wait, the taste of success is really so sweet.

I wanted to write this story to give importance to the lady who brought honor for the country.  I wanted to write this article to record this important milestone of Philippines pageantry and headline that banner worldwide.  No matter what happen, Philippines had already made when it comes to international beauty contest.  As eagerly as before, the Filipinos are still hoping another blue crown for ladies representing the true beauty of the Filipinas.
