The World is so (Megan) Young

Megan has always been a case of a successful non-winner in a reality show - even before Miss World. She placed third (eliminated in the last episode before the finals night) to the less successful Ryza Cenon and LJ Reyes in Starstruck reality show's second edition in 2004-2005. However, she did more lead/supporting roles in movies than what winners did -combined.

She's now 2013 Miss World. 

Let's go back to her career, pre-beauty queen chapter.

1. Won't Last a Day Without You 2011

2. The Reunion 2012

3. Babe I Love You 2010

4. Shake Rattle n Roll XI 2009

5. White House 2010

6. Enteng ng Ina Mo 2011

When you try to recall what her movies are, it's quite hard to think in an instant. She may not be you're mainstream box office star but you'll come across Megan oftentimes in  movies at CinemaOne cable channel. Her biggest beak was "Won't Last a Day Without You", but her role as a ghost in "Shake Rattle n Roll XII"  was the most delightful to watch. Her co star Ruffa Gutierrez on the other hand was Miss World 2nd Princess 20 years ago.

Back in 2012. I came across her blogpost of not joining Binibining Pilipinas that year. I felt that the post was unnecessary. People went tired of anticipating her every year. She's also getting older that I no longer see her winning any title. The following are excerpts from that post:

          “Megan join na.” “Megs, magbinibini ka na kasi.” “Ang tanda mo na, sumali ka na!” These are only a few statements that I have been hearing over and over for the past couple of months. And I’m not complaining! I am so flattered. I have always wanted to but something had always been pushing me back – I didn’t have the drive.

           So my answer is that, no, I will not be joining BBP12 this year but I am keeping my heart open to it.

    Thank you to everyone that has been tweeting me and sending me links to forums. I’ve read everything you’ve sent. I’m so glad you all believe in me. But let me believe in myself first so that I won’t let you down

Then, she later had the magazine feature in Rogue which ended her chance in joining Binibining Pilipinas. I was in awe. She's drop-dead gorgeous. I have those photo saved in my laptop since 2012.
