This year, 26 aspiring titleholders will compete not just for glory but for the chance to represent the Philippines in various international competitions. With candidates coming from not only diverse regions in the Philippines but also countries with significant Filipino communities like Italy and the UK, the stakes are high and the competition fierce!

From experienced veterans to fresh faces, the roster boasts some of the most promising talents this year. Notable participants include Mister Tourism World 2023’s 1st runner-up Jether Palomo and Mr. World Philippines 2024, Kirk Bondad, both of whom are expected to impress with their charisma and skills.

National director Joshua de Sequera emphasized that MPW aims to be the grandest male pageant in the country. “Our past delegates have put the Philippines on the map. This year, we have a new batch of talented individuals who not only defy stereotypes but also seek to highlight their unique purposes and stories as they pursue their titles,” he shared.

That’s right! This year’s competition focuses on more than just looks or athleticism; contestants must exude confidence and have a clear mission, ensuring the selected titleholders truly embody what it means to represent Filipino values.

In an exciting twist, Mister Pilipinas Worldwide won’t crown just one winner but six! The prestigious titles include Mister Pilipinas Supranational, Mister Pilipinas Global, and Mister Pilipinas International Ambassador, among others.
