Las Piñas Vice Mayor April Aguilar welcomed the city's candidate for Mr. Tourism World Philippines 2024, which is set to take place at the Lucky Chinatown Hotel on August 3.
Aguilar expressed her support and best wishes to Kevin Pepito, who paid a courtesy visit to her office on May 28. She is hoping for his success in the upcoming pageant.
The vice-mayor said Pepito, a 22-year-old fourth-year student at the Technological University of the Philippines, is a resident of Las Piñas City.
Aguilar said Pepito embarked on his pageant journey in 2019 and his initial success came when he clinched the title of Mr. Millennial Five Wounds Ambassador.
She said the victory paved the way for Pepito’s modeling career, collaborations with various brands, and entry into national pageants.
Pepito views pageantry as more than just a platform for beauty and talent. He believes it is an avenue for advocating meaningful causes and inspiring positive community change.
As he competes for the Mr. Tourism World Philippines 2024 title, Pepito aims to leverage his platform to bring attention to important issues and drive community engagement.
