Miss World Philippines 2017 is all set for its finale scheduled to be held on 3rd September 2017. The winner will then get a chance to compete at Miss World 2017 to be held in the month of November this year.
Many young women look up to Miss World 2013 Megan Young, including, the new batch of ladies who are vying to win the Miss World Philippines (MWP) 2017 crown. It was really exciting for all the candidates when Megan Young shared some pointers with the MWP 2017 candidates about how they should present themselves on social media, and what to expect in the coming weeks after the victory.
It was a big surprise for all 35 candidates when Megan Young appeared at Rappler headquarters for a talk on using social media for social good and addressed the group of delegates and shared her personal experience.
Megan first spoke about social media, and how it is important to think about what one posts. When she was competing for a crown, she said, she would rarely post "glam" photos, not only because it was a directive from the pageant, but also because she wanted the focus of her social media presence to be on her advocacies.
"I think now that you're trying to push for becoming Miss Philippines, you wanna try to push for being a spokesperson or somebody who wants to advocate goodwill," she told the ladies, encouraging them to post things that will inspire others.
The 35 competing ladies were chosen on 29th July and will be presented to the press on 7th August. The ladies have been in the competition for a week and have many more challenges to take on before coronation night.
