They say luck comes in threes. Will Bali, Indonesia bring us another crown this year? After the Philippines’ first Miss World in 2013 and the Philippines’ first Miss Global earlier this 2022, will we win our first Miss Grand International title as well?

I’m pretty sure Binibining Pilipinas Grand International Roberta Tamondong will see to it that she makes her presence greatly felt in the competition.

Miss World 2013 Megan Young for #BreakFreePH

Women of the 21st Century Transcend to Break Free

MANDALUYONG CITY (March 8, 2021). – March is Women’s Month, and today’s women transcend to break free from the past. Leading this clarion call for women to break free include Miss World 2013 Megan Young and Miss Trans Global 2020 Mela Habijan.

Together with the community volunteers, Megan and Mela headline Transcend by LoveYourself’s women empowerment segment of its latest campaign, #BreakFreePH. This campaign hopes to inspire ciswomen and transgender people to fight off the stigma surrounding sexual health and ensure their holistic well-being. Women deserve to be taken care of and respected even for their sexual health choices.

Filipinos should also continually welcome newer perspectives and create more inclusive actions for all genders. Megan and Mela, whose purposes are beyond their beauty and title, aim to enable voiceless women to break free from any form of abuse, discrimination, and violence.

In the #BreakFreePH campaign video (http://bit.ly/MeganBreakFreePH), Megan emphasized that society is never just a man’s world and that empowered women are no different. As women of the 21st century, “We are not limited by our sex and physical built,” Megan stressed.

Mela, a woman of trans experience, underscored that trans women are valid and refuse to be seen differently. She mentioned that transgender people can fulfill roles regardless of gender, such as being parents, having a business, or being in anything they choose to pursue.
Mela highlighted that trans people definitely exist as an essential part of the country’s developing society. “We are not limited by our gender transition,” she firmly said on another #BreakFreePH campaign video (http://bit.ly/MelaBreakFreePH).

Lastly, the #BreakFreePH also discussed gender-related socio-political issues concerning all women like physical abuse, verbal assault, rape, hate crimes, psychological violence, and killings.

Aside from women empowerment, the #BreakFreePH campaign has three more pillars: sexual health, gender-affirming hormone therapy, and women and trans health services under Victoria by LoveYourself community center.

HIV advocate Janlee Dungca, Cebuana vlogger Alem Garcia and trans man Nick Escalderon will also take part in the campaign to promote the holistic well-being of trans people, especially for their gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and health-related issues about transitioning.

Transcend by LoveYourself was established in 2020 to address the lack of services catered for trans health issues such as biomedical transitioning and ciswomen’s sexual concerns. It was finally made into fruition in view of expanding the services offered in the country’s first community-led transgender health center called Victoria by LoveYourself. This community center offers free gender-sensitive HIV testing and transition counseling and consultation services, among others.

This victory was a long time coming for the Philippines. And on the night of September 28, 2013 at the Nusa Dua Convention Center in Bali, Indonesia, the blue crown finally landed on the head of a Philippine representative. Megan Young had ended the country’s search for the very first win in the beauty pageant that started back in 1951.

After more than six long decades of trying, it was definitely worth the wait. And how! Miss World 2013 can be considered as one of the grandest editions of the competition ever. This was also when the transition from having a beach beauty segment (where only select candidates participated with sarongs covering the lower part of their bodies) to having no swimsuits at all the following year.

And you can relive the entire event below.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – OCTOBER 11: Filipinos welcome home the recently crowned Miss World 2013, Megan Young, in Makati city on October 11, 2013 in Manila, Philippines.

Miss World 2013 Megan Young returned to a hero’s welcome in the country. And despite the rains last October 11, the people came out in droves to wave and cheer the achievememt. Julia Morley was also on Cloud 9 at the time, seeing how rapturous and overwhelming the homecoming parade turned out. She was definitely pleased with giving us the crown at just the right time.

And like a Mother to her newborn, Julia showered Megan with love and guidance throughout the reign.

From there, Megan took to heart a promise of being the best Miss World ever. She fulfilled a year-long stint that was productive and rewarding for both her and the organization. As a result, she continues to take part in events of Miss World up to this day – be it hosting, charity work or personal appearances.

Now married to actor Mikael Daez, she continues to be a cool inspiration to many beauty queens, pageant aspirants and even showbiz upstarts – smart, well-spoken and always updated.

In my opinion, it might take long before another Filipina is crowned Miss World. But who knows? A second one will serendipitously come in less time than we had to wait for the first one. And hopefully, it will also be in everyone’s lifetime. Or at least to everyone who savored the sweetest victory that was Miss World 2013.

Happy Easter to one and all!

I can’t help but share the video below because it shows so much of Miss World 2013 Megan Young’s class and simple taste. No wonder her wedding with Mikael Daez drew more positive comments than otherwise.
