Nuestro, a student at STI College Dasmarinas, was the runaway winner for special awards when he received Best In National Costume, Mr. Photogenic, Best In Formal Wear, and Mr. I-Skin Philippines.


Gareth Blanco, national director of the Mr. Philippines pageant, says that the male pageant also prides itself as a venue that focuses on human development, healthy body, and good character.

"Our contest will become a platform to resolve social, cultural and sexual differences, promote the welfare of the Filipino youth in discovering their talent, and foster camaraderie and peace among men," Blanco says. - ROBERT REQUINTINA
