Margaret Wilson, determined to bring home our first Miss World crown
2007 Bb. Pilipinas-World Margaret “Maggie†Wilson left last Friday for China to compete in the Miss World contest in Sanya, China, determined to bring home the only international beauty title not won by a Filipina. The grand finals will be held on Dec. 1.
Here’s a report by Funfare’s “beauty experts†Felix Manuel, Joey Cezeare, Gery Yumping and Francis Calubaquib:
During the send-off conference held last Oct. 25 at the Araneta Coliseum gazebo, 18-year-old Maggie (who is half-Filipino and half-Scottish) said she was “very enthusiastic,†promising to do her best to win.
An actress-model and an MTV VJ (Philippines and Guam editions), she was born in the Philippines but was raised in Saudi Arabia. Having just graduated from high school and studying Computer Programming (Web Design), she plans to take up Law after completing her duties as a Binibini.
Her interests include traveling, fashion-sketching, interior designing, acting, singing and modern/belly dancing. She keeps herself trim with such sports as horseback-riding, swimming, tennis, volleyball and badminton.
Maggie is fond of native food but also loves Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Her motto: Never take life for granted.
“You have to take care of and share your blessings, and make something meaningful out of your life,†she said.
Maggie was originally offered to play Marimar (the role went to Marian Rivera) but had to turn it down because she had to compete in the Miss World pageant. Touted as “the next Ruffa Gutierrez,†she embodies the true woman of the world with her confidence and irresistible combination of style, substance and élan.
