Behind the scenes with Megan Young
The former Miss World and Filipino star reveals how she keeps fit, her choice of fashion and her skincare regimen
Megan Young made her country proud when she became the first Filipino to be crowned Miss World. It was a momentous feat for the Filipino beauty as she outclassed representatives from 126 other countries during the pageant competition in 2013 in Bali, Indonesia. Last week, Young visited the UAE to grace the opening of a Filipino clothing line’s stores in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Incidentally, the visit coincided with the exact same date when she won the title five years ago on September 28 — an interesting piece of trivia that was not lost when she told adoring fans the significance of the date.
Before becoming a beauty queen, Young started as a contestant of StarStruck, a reality television show in the Philippines, and became a member of television network ABSCBN’s Star Magic. She would later sign a contract under rival network GMA. Young is currently busy working on an ongoing television drama series, The Stepdaughters.
Being a beauty queen and actress, Young is currently one of the top brand endorsers in the Philippines.
