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.

I don’t know why the US is protesting about the Miss World result?if what their saying is that because Megan Young got an American father and her surname is very American then what about the current Miss Universe(whos is Miss USA)her surname doesn’t sound very American.Culpo is Italian!!!

While it is a fact that Megan’s father is an American, it does not automatically mean that she is Miss USA for the simple reason that she did not participate at all in the Miss USA pageant. I don’t think it is fair to the candidates who joined that pageant and even more to the reigning Miss USA if Megan automatically becomes Miss USA. Fact is, Megan went to the pageant to represent the Philippines being crowned as Miss World Philippines 2013.
