On December 1, 2007, she will represent the country as Miss Philippines and take a shot at the long-awaited crown in the 57th Miss World pageant. If Wilson wins the pageant this year, she will become the very first titleholder from the Philippines. [2]. She is presently an MTV VJ, the first Philippine beauty queen to become one.

[edit] Personal Information
Wilson is an aspiring actress and was part of the GMA 7 series Asian Treasures. Her other interests include art, history, and rock music. She said she hopes to make her mark in the Asian modeling scene, before eventually trying her luck in Europe. [3]
[edit] Career
After she was crowned as Bb. Pilipinas World 2007, one columnist allegedly questioned her qualifications for not being a high school graduate, which is one of the requirements for joining the pageant. BPCI has stated that Wilson will continue to reign and participate in the upcoming 57th Miss World pageant to be held in Sanya, China in December 2007. A former Binibining Pilipinas-World titleholder and Miss World 1993 Finalist, Ruffa Gutierrez, defended Wilson in a television interview, saying that the latter was chosen because she is tall, stunningly pretty and smart. [4]
Wilson is said to be one of the more popular candidates in this year's Miss World. If she does win, it will be the first Miss World crown for the Far East since the controversial loss of Miss Philippines Carlene Aguilar in 2005.
Incidentally, Wilson shares the same name as Miss Tanzania in Miss International 2005, Margareth Wilson, as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives in New Zealand, Margeret Wilson.
