Step into the world of extraordinary men at the grand coronation of Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2023! Witness the remarkable event held at Okada Manila, Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines on May 6, 2023.
Overall Nineteen handsome, fit, and empowered Filipino men will vie for the top three titles in the maiden staging of Mister Pilipinas Worldwide (MPW), the newest and only male pageant under the portfolio of Empire Philippines, the company which owns the franchise for the prestigious Miss Universe Philippines. MPW will hold its grand coronation night on May 6 where it will hand over the titles to the rightful winners – Mister Pilipinas Supranational, Mister Pilipinas Global, and Mister Pilipinas Manhunt Supermodel. Partners for the launch are Jojo Bragais and Oxin Films. Empire executives said MPW “is a consolidation of three pageants” namely: Mr. Supranational Philippines, Mr. Global Philippines, Mr. International Philippines, and Mr. Manhunt Philippines. What this means is that there will no longer be a separate staging of the said three male pageants this year as they have been put under one umbrella of MPW.
Athlete Joshua De Sequera, who was first runner-up in the Manhunt International Male Supermodel search in 2022, is MPW’s national director. “Even with the short time span that we had in terms of scouting and looking for talents that will represent Mister Pilipinas Worldwide, I am proud to show everyone that our candidates are ready to go.” He said that he told the boys the importance of commitment. “While most of them go to school or have jobs, sacrifices will have to be made if they will have to do something required by the organization. I reminded them that you went here to make a name for yourself, so make the best out of the opportunity given to you. Most of all, don’t forget to have fun!” In a separate presentation during the MPW press conference held at Ascott Hotel BGC last April 21, Empire PH accredited partners director Joseph Rivera announced that they are also targeting to launch one other project this year. The Miss Philippines fashion and beauty pageant.
Top 8 Questions and Anwers Round:
Lorenzo Isip – Cebu Province replied:
Thank you mum for all the sacrifices she did to raise us five children. It is very hard and difficult for me to see my mum suffer because when my father left her for another woman. I am very proud of my mum to raise five incredible and respectful individuals. Being on this stage, this was her wish for me to able to walk on the runway and be seen on TV. I am doing this pageant for the love of my mother. As a man who loves his mother, I think that is the mark of a truly exceptional man.
Johannes Rissler – Davao Del Norte replied:
The inspiration behind writing my music is my own experience in life, mentally, physically, and emotionally. As men, we have this struggle in our life to keep emotions within ourselves and through music. I want to help other people by listening to my music. To stay relaxed and enjoy life as it is. As long as you know your purpose in life then you are good.
As a fashion model, what is your favorite asset that makes you stand out from the crowd?
Ken Stromsnes – Mandaluyong City replied:
My biggest asset would be my hair since you can see these seven beautiful men and I was thinking to cut my hair for this contest as I look more like a barista than a pageant contestant. Joining this pageant made me more open and help me with my runway walk.
Van Aikon Ignacio – San Jose City replied:
When I was in high school, I was in my basket society, and through this, I learned about sharing knowledge and about being a good team player. I think sports help to develop many young men in the community.
