MANILA -- Thai star Fourth Nattawat will return to Manila later this month to perform at a national pageant.

Fans can watch the star of the popular boys' love series "My School President" at the finals night of the inaugural The Miss Philippines, which will be held on October 24 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

"The Filipino Festival goes global with the Thai sensation performing at the Fest Time (like Super Bowl Halftime) to celebrate and promote the rich culture of the Philippines," organizers said in the social media pages of The Miss Philippines.
