Young is an alumna of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 and starred in several ABS-CBN shows including "Precious Hearts Romances", "Maalaala Mo Kaya" and "Betty La Fea". It's not the average path for Beauty Queen-dom to first be a well-known and popular young actress to then, become a beauty queen; it's usually the other way around. But then again, this IS The Philippines and being a Beauty Queen sometimes takes higher priority.

ReplyDeleteMegan Young is just irresistible!Her beauty is just heavenly. No bad angle/s on this girl. I believe that she is more deserving of the awards (Best in EG and Ms. Photogenic). Moreso, she has a good heart, rightful for the title MWP crown. And now our goal is to clinch the MW title!
