Miss World 2013 Megan Young took to Instagram to tell Laura just how happy she is to call Laura her friend.

"As we board our flight back to Manila, I can't help but think about last night. Not being able to read your name was the toughest because I really wanted and prayed for this moment for you! I was upset but as they say, the show must go on. I went back to my room and realized that even though it may not have been the winning outcome I had hoped for you, I knew you were a winner in the hearts of many parents and children of Jose Reyes Memorial hospital. At your age, being able to provide a hospital with a milk bank is a win already. You have saved and changed lives. I am so proud of you and your strength and positivity. Thank you for shining a bright light on the people around you, Lau. I am so proud to be your friend and sister. Thank you for inspiring me. Always. Love you, Lau," wrote Megan.

Laura then wrote back to Megan in a separate Instagram post.

According to her, "Sista from another mista. Meggymar is one of the best people I know. Not to mention the best Miss World ever because she makes everyone around her better. She is so helpful in every way even though she doesn’t have to be and even when she is so busy (playing video games at 3am charot hehe). So last night on screen, she was also representing us! #FilipinaPride! Father Rocky too.And ALV @arnold_vegafria! Woohoo! Actually, ang daming Pinoy na-feature last night. Nakakaproud diba?"
