- The Philippines will host Mr. World 2018
- Mr. World to be concluded this year in the Philippines
Home of the countless beauty pageant titles, Philippines marks another milestone in pageant history as we will host the Mr. World 2018 for the first time!
Miss World Organization founder and CEO Julia Morley made the official announcement through a Facebook post last April 3, sending Pinoy pageant fans in a state of excitement. Ater all, since its inception in 1996, the biennial pageant has been held predominantly in Europe, and only twice in Asia; 2007 in China and 2010 in Korea.
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”.
The Screening
Five challenges will take place throughout the pageant; Fashion & Style, the Extreme Challenge, the Multimedia Award, the Sports Challenge, and the Talent Competition. Each one of these challenges has a winner who would secure a place in the Final 10 of the competition. There are also collective points earned through the team based elements of the challenges, with the contestants split into four teams.
For his part, Miss World Philippines National Director Arnold Vegafria welcomes the challenge of staging the Mr. World 2018 in Manila. Under his stewardship, the organization has produced three major titleholders: Reina Hispanoamericana 2017 Teresita “Wynwyn” Marquez, Miss Multinational 2018 Sophia Senoron, and recently-crowned Miss Eco International 2018 Cynthia Thomalla.
Representatives from the Miss World and Mr. World organization, headed by Miss World Director Steve Douglas Marley, Miss World 2017 Mannushi Chhillar, and Mr. World 2016 Rohit Khandelwal, recently flew to Manila to join the press conference held at Resorts World Manila.
The Mr. World 2018 pageant will be held on January 27, 2019 at the Mall of Asia Arena. For more information, you can visit Mr. World pageant’s official website: www.mrworld.tv.
