Carlo Pasion wins Mister Model Worldwide in India

-


A 22-year-old fitness trainer from Laoag, Ilocos Norte who was about to give up his stint in pageants won Mister Model Worldwide 2018 during a contest held in India recently.

Carlo Pasion waited for one year and three months before he could compete in an international pageant. Normally, a Filipino contestant would compete within the year the delegate won in the local search. The pageant in India focuses on modelling and physique.

Other winners for Mister Model Worldwide 2018 were: Thailand, 1st runner-up; India, 2nd runner-up; Bolivia, 3rd runner-up; and Nigeria, 4th runner-up.


Pasion won the Misters of Filipinas contest in September 2017, earning him the right to compete abroad. He was supposed to join the Mister Ocean 2018 contest in China in August but it was cancelled.

"After that I was ready to give up pageants. I told myself I will pursue aviation this time. Maybe pageant is not for me. Then one day I received a call from Carlo Morris Galang that I will be competing in India in December," Pasion says.

Galang is the president of Prime Event Productions Philippines Foundation, Inc. (PEPPS), organizer of the annual Misters of Filipinas pageant.

Pasion, who graduated with a degree in information technology, had only two weeks to prepare for the contest.


"Carlo (Pasion) promised us that he could enter the Top 5. Instead he gave us a title," said an emotional Aski Pascual,  PEPPS Director for Licensing and Expansion.

Pasion, who took odd jobs before he rose to fame, is the last Filipino to compete in an international pageant for 2018. He also won Best Fashion Model special award.

Continental winners were: Tibet, Asia and Oceania; Ethiopia, Africa; Azerbaijan, Europe; and Bolivia, Americas.

Other winners of special awards were: Ethiopia, Photogenic; National Costume, Thailand; Tibet, Talent; India, Mr. Perfect Body; Bhutan, People's Choice; Formal Wear. Nigeria;  Runway Model, South Korea; Sri Lanka, Mister Intellectual; Bolivia, Commercial Model; Congeniality, Ghana; Charming Smile, Nepal; Azerbaijan, Face of the Year; Lebanon, Mr. Personality; Icon Style, Armenia; and Myanmar, Charming Gentleman.

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont
