ANG Hagonoy, Bulacan na lubog sa baha ang paksa ni Megan Young para sa kanyang “Beauty With A Purpose” (BWAP) project, na in-upload ng Miss World organizers sa kanilang official website.
Batay sa ipinaskil ng Miss World Philippines, ang BWAP “is also the name of a special annual award programme that singles out and recognises the Miss World contestant who is shown, through charitable works, to have made a real difference to people in need in her homeland.”
Ipinakita ang kinatawan ng Pilipinas sa kanyang BWAP presentation na namamahagi ng tulong sa mga mamamayan ng Bulacan, na sinalanta ng bagyo noong Agosto. Sinamahan si Megan ni Miss World Philippines licensee Cory Quirino.
“My coronation night last August 18 was probably one of the best moments in my life… but at the same time, my fellow countrymen are experiencing in their lives… something that traumatized them that left them hopeless, homeless… Now I want to share that glory with them (flood victims). I want to see that smile I had on my face on their faces as well,” sabi ni Young sa kanyang dalawang minutong video.
Hawak ang kanyang tinutukoy na “bag of hope” na naglalaman ng relief goods, idinagdag ng 23-anyos na TV host-actress na, “As a Filipina, I want to see them (flood victims) with hope in their eyes. And I want to see them strive and look at tomorrow as a brighter day.”
“This (‘bag of hope’) is what’s going to touch their hearts, what’s going to put that twinkle in their eyes and make them think that tomorrow is going to be a better day,” pagtatapos ni Megan.
Ang BWAP special award ay magtitiyak ng puwesto ni Megan sa semifinals sa Miss World pageant ngayong taon na magtatapos sa coronation night mamayang alas-10:00 ng gabi. Marami sa mga sumusubaybay sa paglahok ni Megan sa Miss World ang naniniwala na malaki ang kanyang tsansa na maiuwi ang korona.
Gaya nang inihayag sa website ng pageant, tanging ang sports finalist at top 11 beach fashion contestants – nakasama si Megan – ang pinangalanan.
“Many of our judges have not yet arrived here in Bali, so the majority of the judging process, including for the Beauty with a Purpose Award, has not even begun yet. All results (preliminary and winners) will be announced here FIRST at missworld.com, or live on air at the Miss World Final on the 28th of September,” ayon dito.
Napili din si Megan na magtanghal ng singkil dance para sa Dances of the World sa Miss World coronation night.
