Miss Philippines Megan Young, a US Native, Crowned Miss World in Bali

 Megan Young, the 23-year-old U.S. native was crowned Miss World 2013 on Saturday, Sept. 28, in Bali, Indonesia.
"No words!" Young said after her big win, according to CNN. "Thank you so much for everyone for choosing me. I promise to be the best Miss World ever."
Young looked radiant, donning a pale pink glittery gown, as she received her crown from Miss World 2012, Yu Wenxia.
Sleek Miss France, Marine Lorphelin was the first runner-up and sexy Miss Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, was the second runner-up.
US-born Ms Young, beat 126 other contestants and pledged to be "the best Miss World ever".

 Megan Young is also one of the National Peace Ambassadors alongside other local personalities such as Anne Curtis, Gerald Anderson, Mikael Daez and apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas for the “I Am For Peace” campaign.
Saturday's Miss World pageant was moved to Bali following protests by Muslim hardline groups.

Despite threats from the Islamic Defenders Front to disrupt Saturday night's crowning, police say no rallies have been staged. The group has demonstrated for weeks, calling for the government to cancel the pageant because members say it goes against Islamic teachings.

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.

The 127 contestants vying for the crown on Saturday were introduced 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 organisers.

Congratulations,  Megan Young.
