Should Winwyn join Miss World Ph? Megan Young gives advice

MANILA, Philippines – Should Binibining Pilipinas 2015 fan favorite Winwyn Marquez join this year’s Miss World Philippines?

 

Miss World 2013 Megan Young, who recently signed a one year exclusive contract with GMA-7, said the fellow Kapuso artist should “go for it”—but only if she really wants to join.

 

It can be remembered that Winwyn failed to win one of the five titles at the recently-concluded Bb. Pilipinas 2015 pageant despite being an early favorite to win the competition.

 

“If she wants to, why not. I say go for it. But only if she wants to. Kailangan nasa puso mo yan na sasali ka,” she told members of the press during the contract signing with GMA-7 recently.

As for her sister fellow GMA-7 artist Lauren Young? Megan said her younger sister has no interest in joining any beauty pageants. Megan revealed their mother has been encouraging Lauren to follow her beauty queen footsteps.

 

“Kahit sino mag-encourage, aayaw siya,” Megan said. “Ayaw niya talaga, e. Sorry guys.”

 

She added, “It’s not her thing lang. Ganun lang ka-simple yun. Ayaw niya lang mag-pageant.” 

 

The 25-year-old beauty queen said she has “a very good feeling about” her signing an exclusive contract with GMA-7. 

 

She wants to improve as an “artist”—particularly as an actress and a host.

 

Her first project with GMA-7 is as co-host of the reality talent search “Starstruck” with Dingdong Dantes. Megan herself was a “Starstruck” contestant in 2004. Megan hosted the 2014 Miss World pageant—a dream job for her—and she wants to host “big things” in the future.

 

“And in terms of acting, sana I learn more. I want to learn to be a deeper actor, a more natural actor. Those are my baby steps,” she said.

 

Megan added, “And sana, some day, I can win an award in either acting or hosting.”

 

She’s also open to working with rumored beau Mikael Daez and sister Lauren.

 

“Lauren is a very intense actor. She’s also a very intense person,” she said. “She’s not as fierce as she can be in the teleseryes. But let me tell you, she’s very fierce. So I would love to work with her. It could be a very different atmosphere for us.”

 

Megan will also star in an upcoming drama for GMA-7.
