Bali, Indonesia – The United States was aiming for the “grand slam” at this year’s Miss World beauty pageant, focused on winning the crown to add to the Miss Universe title won earlier this year by Miss U.S.A. Olivia Culpo.
Olivia Jordan (yes, another Olivia), U.S.A.’s entry to this pretigious pageant held over the weekend in the Indonesian resort of Bali, made it to the top 10 contestants during Saturday’s finals, but not to the top 5.
Miss Philippines, Megan Young, an early favorite in the competition, went on to win the title, the first ever by a Filipina in Miss World’s 62-year history. Miss France was first runner-up and Miss Ghana came in third.
Less than 24 hours after the pageant finals, the U.S. filed a formal protest with the Miss World pageant organizers, saying that Young should be credited as a U.S. entry as well. Young was born in the United States to an American father and Filipina mother, but moved at age 10 to the Philippines where she is currentlly a model, actress and television host. “Technically, she is also Miss U.S.A,” the protest document indicated. “Even her surname is very American. Can’t she be at least declared as a ‘dual contestant’ by virtue of her dual citizenship?” it added.
Miss World owner Julia Morley has not returned calls from The Adobo Chronicles seeking comment on the U.S. protest.

If this was true, then they got it all wrong. Technically, she is born of a filipino mother and an american father which makes her a Filipino Citizen. so, she’s a Filipino citizen. According to our laws (i don’t care about the laws of other countries), One is considered a Fiipino citizen if one has a Filipino father or mother who are citizens of the Philippines. Therefore, she is a filipino citizen.

Thanks! Justin, the officials behind this protest must be out of their mind.. U know,I really appreciate that some of you support Megan instead of supporting the said protest.. Because it’s totally nonsense US had already engaged in so many things in this world.. Infact they have to be thankful even though Megan did not represent the US atleast she never denies that she was once an american citizen, and look at her skin she might looks a bit westernian but her skin says it all that she is a filipina.

Young never disowned being an American by blood but chose to represent the Philippines. There has been a rule or policy for dual citizenship; one may be a dual citizen but he/she can only be loyal to one.
