On METRO January 2011 "Body" issue: Megan Young talks about joining Binibining Pilipinas and her break-up with Nico Salva

The ever beautiful Megan Young is on the cover of METRO Magazine "Body" issue this January 2011 with Eurasian model Benjamin Tang.

And Metro's interview with Megan reveals that she's a single lady now, still fresh from her break-up with cager Nico Salva of the Ateneo Blue Eagles.

The last time we saw the two in a major public event was when Nico escorted Megan during the Star Magic Ball 2010 last September.

But almost 4 months later, they broke up for a reason Megan did not disclose inside METRO. "I don't have one now" is all what she had to say when asked if she has a boyfriend.

Third party perhaps? On New Year's Day, I caught Megan posting this one on Twitter: "This 2011, I'm not gonna let anyone break my heart." (That says it all!)

METRO also took notice of Megan's much slimmer figure, which was probably caused by her breakup with Nico.

While Megan appears along with model Georgina Wilson in pageant fans' wishlist of who they want to see joining Binibining Pilipinas, the 20-year-old "Miss Universe material" has told METRO that she doesn't feel like joining the pageant...not yet.

"Everyone's been asking me that since I was 14. Sa akin lang, kailangan nasa puso. When it comes to things like the Bb. Pilipinas pageant, the whole country's involved. I won't do it unless I want to, and right now, I don't really feel like it."

Megan is only 20, so maybe after 3 years, she'll be ready to join the pageant.

And to those who wish to see Megan on a men's magazine cover, sorry guys 'coz she's totally not open to it. She's willing to pose in a lingerie only for a fashion magazine but not for a men's magazine.

"I think you can be sexy without taking your clothes off. I don't do men's magazines. It's just not my thing. If you make me wear lingerie in a fashion magazine, it's fine because the context is different."

Here are some scans of Megan and Benjamin in the magazine:

Bench New Models: Franco Daza, Benjamin Tang & Jome Silayan

Franco Daza, Benjamin Tang and Jome Silayan are three of the newest Bench models / endorsers launched this year.

Franco currently stars on ABS-CBN's Gimik 2010. Did you watch ASAP XV today? Wow, Franco was full of masculinity when he come out shirtless on ASAP stage.

German-Vietnamese Benjamin Tang is an international model, having modeled already in Thailand and China. In the Philippines, he already appeared in several TVCs such as Coca-Cola, C2, Globe and the Greenwhich Lasagna commercial with Anne Curtis.

Jome Silayan meanwhile is a mixed martial artist and a Nestea Ambassador after he won the Nestea Fit Camp Hotties 2010 last April. He's also the nephew of the late beauty queen-turned-actress Chat Silayan-Bailon.

While Jome already modeled for Bench at the recent Philippine Fashion Week Holiday, all three of them will have their big debut in the Bench Uncut: Denim and Underwear Fashion Show on July 2 at the Araneta Coliseum.

I've heard Kenji Shirakawa, Franco's co-star in Gimik 2010, will also join them in the runway on July 2.

They are just among the many reasons to get excited of in the said Bench fashion show.

Btw, do you already have the invites (to be exchanged for tickets)? To get one, you need to avail of the promo at Bench stores.

For an P800 single receipt of Bench Products (must include underwear or overhauled jeans), you can have 1 General Admission Invitation. Wow, it's higher than the 2008 promo. That time, for a P500worth of purchase, you can already have an invite.


P1,200 single receipt entitles you to 1 Upper Box B invite (before it's only P800) and for a 2thousand single receipt, you can have 1 Upper Box A invite (it's P1,500 two years ago).


But for people who love to see a gathering of the most gorgeous model celebrities in the country, they definitely wouldn't mind that increase.
