Laking Frankfurt, Germany ang Filipino-German na si Kirk Bondad.  Around 2015, tumira siya sa Pilipinas kasama ang kapatid na si Clint Bondad at doon aniya nagsimula ang ideya na pumasok siya sa pageantry.  Kwento niya, &quot;I was living with my brother and by then his girlfriend, is Catriona Gray. She was already doing pageantry, she was involved. Maybe the seed was being planted at that time.&quot;  Aminado naman si Kirk na kalaunan naisip niya rin na siya ang gagawa ng paraan para mabago ang tingin ng publiko sa male pageanty.  Sabi niya, &quot;There&#x27;s a bit of a stigma in male pageantry. If there&#x27;s somebody who can raise up the standard and change the landscape in how pageantry is being perceived, why not me? And long story short, here I am, Mr. International. And this is exactly what I manifested.&quot;  <div> </div>— Ulat ni Ganiel Krishnan para sa programang Tao Po.
