Megan Young, the first Filipino Miss World, will be crowning her successor on December 14 at ExCeL Exhibition Centre in London, United Kingdom. Miss World Philippines 2014 Valerie Weigmann faces great pressure to score a back-to-back win or at least keep the placement streak going for the Philippines in the pageant.
A back-to-back win is not impossible. Sweden (1951-1952), the UK (1964-1965) and India (1999-2000) all achieved this rare feat. But if we go by the last decade's trend, it looks like the chances of placing are slim. Since 2005, the country that won the Miss World crown failed to make it as a semifinalist in the following year.
