MAGGIE WILSON (MW) for MISS WORLD (MW) MOVEMENT

It's Miss World pageant once again. The 57th Miss World Final will be held in Sanya, China once again on December 1st. A total of 120 contestants from around the world will converge once again in Sanya for a month long activities leading to the finals on December 1, this is also the celebration for the World AIDS Day.

The Philippines' representative to this most watched beauty pageant in the world is Margaret "Maggie" Wilson. Maggie is only 18 years old and stands 5 feet and 9 inches tall was born in the Philippines but raised in Saudi Arabia. She has a rich heritage having a Filipino-Spanish mother and Scottish-Irish father. Having just graduated from High School after specialising in Computer Programming (Web Design) she is intending to study law after completing her duties as Miss Philippines. Interests include: Travel, fashion sketching, interior design, acting, singing, both modern and belly dancing. She is also very active in the promotion of Filipino music; she has worked as an actress and video jockey for TV. Sporting interests are: Horse riding, swimming, tennis, volleyball and badminton. Margaret is very fond of her native food but also loves Chinese & Japanese. Her motto is: “Never take life for granted” You have to take care and share the blessings that you receive and make something meaningful out of your life as you go through each day.

In the history of the Miss World pageant, there is no Filipina who has won this title. The closest to having won this title was Evangeline Pascual, the 1st runner-up during the 1973 edition where Marjorie Wallace of the USA won! And the rest is history. Another Filipina who is expected to bring home the Miss World title was Sharmaine "Ruffa" Gutierrez during the 1993 edition where she placed 2nd Princess to eventual winner Lisa Hanna of Jamaica. I am still hoping that the Philippines will win the Miss World title and I am pinning my hopes to our representative this year, Maggie Wilson.

Let's start the campaign for Maggie Wilson to become the first ever Filipina Miss World. I hope everyone who visit my blog will support our Philippines' rep to Miss World if there will be text voting. I'll post it here soon on how to vote through texting. Thanks everyone!
