129 beauties vying for crown amidst high security Finally Miss Philippines Megan Young Emerges as Miss World 2013
Miss Philippines, Megan Young, is the top favourite of everyone to win the coveted Miss World 2013 crown. But with every favourite person there is a controversial history. The 23-year-old had posed topless for Rouge magazine in March 2012 and many believe that it can work against the chances of the young hopeful.
Young looks sizzling in the black and white shots of the luxury magazine photos where she wears a black polka dotted bikini. The pictures were part of an editorial for a high-end magazine and the shots are classy, artistic and not very provocative either. The topless pictures of Megan can be seen here.
Every one predicted Megan Young has strong chances of winning the competition as she is one of the finalists in many competitions that took place on the coronation night. Megan is one of the 10 finalists in the Top Model Competition, in addition to being in Top 11 at Beach Fashion contest two weeks ago. She is also the one contestant who is voted favourite in the online poll and tipped as the top contestants to win the Miss World 2013.

Megan will be doing the Singkil, a Filipino-Muslim dance. Her Miss World profile video is the most viewed with a more than 97,000 views. In second place is that of Miss Vietnam with a little over 79,000.
