A new breed of fresh faces have been chosen to take part in this year’s edition of Mister Pilipinas Worldwide (MPW), the country’s premier competition for aspiring kings of pageantry.
Since its inception in 2023, Mister Pilipinas Worldwide has become the most widely acclaimed male pageant in the country, producing delegates to international pageants such as Mister Supranational, Mister International, Mister Global, Manhunt International, Mister Cosmopolitan, and Man of the Year.
This year, it aims to further put Filipino men front and center, with 26 contenders vying to be the next big thing in fashion and entertainment here and abroad. With MPW selecting representatives not just from across the Philippines but also in countries with large Filipino communities like in Italy, Alberta, and the United Kingdom, expect this year’s pageant to be much more competitive. The competition seeks to narrow down on who can truly best represent the country factoring in not just looks and athleticism – but also talent and confidence. More importantly, they need to have a clear purpose.
Among this year’s contenders are showbiz pros Mister Tourism World 2023 1st runner-up and Century Tuna Superbods 2024 winner Jether Palomo (Taguig), Mr. World Philippines 2024 and Century Tuna Superbods 2022 winner Kirk Bondad (Baguio), celebrity fitness trainer Enzo Bonoan (Quezon City), professional host and voice actor Kitt Cortez (San Juan, Manila), and local pageant veteran Raven Lansangan (Pampanga). Pageant newbies like celebrity makeup artist Kenneth Marcelino (Laguna), Fil-foreigners Michael Alfonso Carter (United Kingdom) and Giuseppe Agliano (Italy), and Far Eastern University student Justine Quiocho (Binangonan) are also among this year’s standouts.
“Despite only being conceived a few years ago, Mister Pilipinas Worldwide is poised to be the grandest male pageant in the Philippines – selecting topnotch, talented artists who can truly put our country on the international map of various male competitions,” said national director Joshua de Sequera.
“The growing fanbase and the raging success of our past delegates reveal how set the stage is for Filipino men to rule the world of pageantry. We already send our early congratulations to our contenders who are showing up and defying stereotypes so they can showcase their talent and give us more pride. As we speak, they already combined for around two million followers across different social media platforms – very telling of their influence at this early stage of the competition. We’re excited to see them grow to be their own ‘man’ as they embark on their Mister Pilipinas Worldwide journey.”
