MANILA -- The 50 official candidates for the Mister International Philippines 2024 were officially introduced during a press presentation held at the Midas Hotel and Casino in Pasay City last April 28. 

“This year, our pageant shines a spotlight on distinctively handsome men who not only celebrate their hometowns and embrace their individuality but also actively foster a spirit of community engagement,” pageant executive Ameer Emir said.

Present during the press presentation were Mister International Philippines 2023 Austin Cabatana who shared an inspiring message for the candidates; and pageant director Manuel Deldio who supervised the overall production.

A total of 50 candidates from National Capital Region (NCR), South Luzon, Central Luzon, Northern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will compete on June 30 to win the Mister International Philippines title and represent the country on the international stage.

Some of the candidates who stood out were Lloyd Vincent Calunia from Bohol, Marcus Parcon from Santo Tomas, Batangas, Dr. Jake Batiancela from Leyte, Ronald Costanilla from Cayagan de Oro City, Jolo Eris Babor from Arayat, Pampanga, and Matt Aldrick Gregorio from Bulacan. 

“Mister International Philippines is redefining the essence of male pageantry, positioning it as a celebration of individuality and a powerful vehicle for positive social change and community engagement,” Emir said.
