Candid Shot: Raven Renz Lansangan

Raven Renz Lansangan is this year's Misters of Filipinas Mister International Philippines.

It's hard to believe that this charming Misters from Mabalacat, Pampanga was able to fulfill his studies as he joined the prestigious male competition few weeks ago. With determination and effort, he passed the first semester at the Holy Angel University where he is a graduating student taking up business management.

"Sobrang hirap po, pero talagang binigay ko po efforts ko po. Tulad po nung Sept 16-30 'Misters,' then kapag rest day, pasok sa school. Then nung Oct 2-7, finals po namin sa school. Then sobrang saya ko po wala namang failing grades 🙂" said Lansangan during an exclusive interview.

These days, Lansangan is slowly but surely adjusting to the lifestyle of being a pageant winner.

Asked about the changes in his life now, Lansangan said: "Para po sa akin wala naman po, yung normal pa rin naman po yung mga ginagawa ko. Pero dumami lang po 'yung time sa Manila para sa mga TV guesting and sponsors' visit po."

When not busy, Lansangan plays basketball and volleyball. This 19-year-old teen also loves to dance. So what's up with our bedimpled Misters? Cheers to Raven Renz Lansangan!
