Philippines, Megan Young, was crowned Miss World in a glittering finale on the Indonesian resort island of Bali on Saturday.
“I promise to be the best Miss World ever,” Young, 23, said after
winning the 63rd annual event, as a large number of Filipino fans who
traveled with her celebrated by jumping and waving the country’s flag.
Young bested 126 beauty queens from around the world to become
the first Filipina to win the coveted title in a contest broadcast to
more than 180 countries worldwide.
Indonesia’s government announced three weeks ago that the final
would be moved from the outskirts of the capital, Jakarta, and instead
held on the Hindu-dominated resort island of Bali, where earlier rounds
were taking place.
But despite threats from the Islamic Defenders Front to disrupt the
pageant, police said no rallies were staged Saturday. The group has
demonstrated for weeks, calling for the government to cancel the pageant
because members say it shows too much skin and goes against Islamic
teachings.
The 127 contestants vying for the crown were introduced Saturday
wearing evening gowns shimmering in sequins, many of them with plunging
necklines and slits up the leg. Four candidates dropped out earlier,
mainly due to illnesses, said Syafril Nasution, one of the local
organizers.
Young, who took the crown from Wenxia Yu of China, the 2012
winner, was born in the United States. When she was 10 she moved to the
Philippines, where she has appeared in films and as a television host.
She thanked the judges for choosing her and pledged to “just be
myself in everything I do, to share what I know and to educate people.”
Before her, no Filipina had won the prestigious crown in the 63-year-old history of the London-based pageant.
Miss France, Marine Lorphelin, 20, took second place, while Miss Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, 22, came in third.
Miss World organizers had earlier agreed to cut bikinis from the
swimsuit competition, replacing them with more conservative sarongs. But
pressure continued to mount, and more mainstream groups joined in and
called for the show to be banned.
