Some of the 55 candidates of Mister International Philippines

Dubbed the most prestigious male pageant in the country, 55 candidates from different parts of the Philippines will compete to secure the Mister International Philippines crown.

Set to take place at the Newport World Resorts in Pasay City on June 28, MIPH will switch to an even higher gear with a series of workshops dedicated to strengthening the skills and abilities of each candidate in grooming, professional imaging, personality development, Q&A, financial literacy and leadership excellence.

According to the owner, Atty. Manuel Deldio, this year’s pageant will focus on what the “King” stands for and how he inspires other people to be a good human being.

“Someone who is not only distinctively handsome but someone who has a genuine heart for people,” said Deldio on what he’s looking for.

During the media presentation, each “King” showed their charisma and personality while securely parading to convince the judges that they have what it takes to become the next Mister International Philippines and will represent the country on the international stage.

“Male pageants matter too. Just like our beauty queens, our Kings have something to say too. Proudly Pinoy with a heart ang talagang hinahanap namin,” Deldio shared.

Aside from Press Favorites Austin Cabatana of Quezon City, Nathaniel Tiu of Cebu City, and Jay Mark Omolon of Palawan, other early standouts were Ralph Lawrence Regala of Sta. Mesa, Hassan Fernandez of Isabela, Micahelle Joy Dumalaon of Olongapo City, and Kenneth Aniban of Cavite City.

“Looking forward to cementing our position as the country’s premiere male competition,” Ameer Sanchez, MIPH President, ended.
