SA latest episode ng mag-asawang Mikael Daez at Megan Young na “Behind Relationship Goals”, inilahad ng actress-beauty queen ang kanyang karanasan noong sumali ito sa Miss World Philippines 2013.
Ito raw ang unang major roadblock para sa kanya dahil sa mga posibilidad na mangyari sa buhay niya kung matalo siya sa kompetisyon.
“My work was on the line. I knew that I could not work if I was doing this pageant which meant that I have no income, which meant that I could not pay for anything, whatsoever,” pagbabahagi ni Megan.
Dagdag pa nga sa kanyang stress ang mga sinasabi ng tao na wala na raw siyang babalikan kapag matalo siya.
“So when they asked me to join the training in 2012, I walked into the training, I was like ‘I’m gonna be so comfident’ and then I saw Janine Togonon and I was like ‘I’m not joining this pageant ever’,” pag-amin ng actress-beauty queen.
“It was 2012 when they asked me to train for Bb. Pilipinas, sila Mama J (Jonas Gaffud), Aces & Queens. I didn’t know anything about pageants and they are just like, ‘Try it out. Tignan mo kung gusto mo.’ I went there to train for walking. I saw Janine, and I was like ‘Wow! She’s so beautiful. She’s so confident. She looks like a winner. I’m not joining.’
“So immediately, I was shutting myself up and telling myself, ‘You can’t do this because this girl’s gonna win for sure’ and she eventually ended up winning Bb. Pilipinas-Universe that year,” pagpapatuloy niya.
Matapos nga ang pangyayaring ‘yon, nag-focus na lang si Megan sa kanyang acting career. Nagkaroon siya ng offer para gumanap bilang main kontrabida sa isang show kaya sinabi ng actress-beauty queen sa sarili niya na mananatili siya sa pag-arte.
Muli na naman siyang nakatanggap ng tawag mula sa Aces and Queens kung saan tinanong siya kung gusto niyang subukang sumali sa Miss World Philippines.
Inamin ng aktres na sumalang pa rin siya sa training noong 2012. Para sa kanya, may proseso na dapat sundin bago tuluyang sumabak sa mundo ng beauty pageant.
Giit pa niya, isa raw sa mga ayaw niyang mangyari ay ang pagtawanan siya ng tao dahil sumali siya nang hindi handa.
“I trained with them thinking if I get it, great, if not then I know I was able to earn new skills from this training.
“I kept training and in my head I was just like ‘Tignan ko kung gusto ko’ because I didn’t know if I actually wanted to join. In my heart, like I didn’t know if it was something that I would say ‘I am going to apply tomorrow wholeheartedly, excitedly’ because I wasn’t excited at this point.
“I just had people telling me, ‘Join the pageant. You can do it. Pwede kang manalo’ so it took awhile for me to actually appreciate and see the purpose in me joining,” paglalahad niya.
Kuwento pa nito, gumising na lang raw siya isang araw na kinukwestyon ang kanyang sarili.
“I surprisingly woke up one day and I realized, ‘What am I doing with my work?’ I just go to taping, I do my job, I earn a living, but what’s my purpose.
“It felt kind of empty at that point because I didn’t know where I was going from there. May natutulungan ba ako? Am I just helping myself? Is it all for selfish gain? So parang at that point, I felt that I wasn’t doing anything for other people.”
Pagkatapos noon, pinapanood daw sa kanya ang ibang mga clips ng Miss World at kung tungkol saan ito na siyang naka-agaw ng kanyang interes.
“From that point on, that’s when I decided sige I will commit,” she said.
Isa rin sa mga nag-push sa kanya ay ang kanyang boyfriend na ngayon ay asawa na niyang si Mikael.
Taong 2013 nga nang sumali si Megan sa Miss World Philippines kung saan nasungkit niya ang korona.
Lumipad siya papuntang Bali, Indonesia para i-represent ang Pilipinas para sa Miss World 2013 kung saan siya ang itinanghal na panalo.
