| Mr. World PH 2018 candidates were presented to the press on September 4, 2018 at Resorts World Manila. |
Mr. World Philippines recently presented to the media the official candidates at the Resorts World Manila. In true fashion, the handsome, young men paraded wearing shorts, baring their sculpted physique to the excitement of the crowd. A huge screen also flashed their profile shots, giving the audiences a closer look of their handsome faces.
But beyond the physical look, Mr. World Philippines aims to know more about the personality, intelligence, and good moral character of each candidate. Watch FB Live video of the official press presentation here.
Unlike conventional male beauty pageants, Mr. World is a two to three week competition designed to test the candidates in a variety of ways through a series of challenge events, interviews and a final stage show. These challenges test every aspect deemed necessary to be "The World's Most Desirable Man."
This year's Mr. World PH pageant serves as a prelude to “the search for the world's most desirable man,” the biennial Mr. World pageant, which will be held in the Philippines for the very first time on January 27, 2019 at Resorts World Manila. The pageant is organized by Miss World Philippines, headed by its National Director, Arnold Vegafria.
