At least thirteen different Filipino men have been crowned this cycle to represent the country at thirteen separate international pageants running through 2026 and into early 2027 — put forward by at least nine organizations that have nothing to do with each other, competing everywhere from Poland to Sri Lanka to Vietnam to Thailand to China. No single national final produced this group, and no single office is tracking all of them in one place. That’s what this is.
Filipino delegates have been quietly stacking up wins across the male pageant circuit for years now — Kirk Bondad’s Mister International crown, Dom Corilla’s Mister Global title, a string of runner-up finishes at Mister World — but 2026 is the first year the sheer volume of separate crowns is worth tracking in one place. Some of these men have been on the national pageant circuit for years, cycling through near-misses before finally landing a title. Others won on their first real attempt.
This is a running scorecard, not a one-time recap — it’ll get updated as the still-TBD dates below lock in, and as we catch names we’ve missed. Here’s the full lineup, starting with the one result already decided, then in the order each remaining man actually steps on an international stage.
Already Decided: Felipe Marasigan, Mister Supranational
Felipe Bayani Marasigan, representing Manila via the Filipino Society of California, won Mister Pilipinas Supranational 2026 and carried the strongest pre-finals résumé a Filipino man has ever built at that pageant — three separate fast-track placements — into the competition in Nowy Sącz, Poland. He finished Top 20. Spain’s Pedro Cordero took the crown. We covered the full result, and what it means against the two podium finishes the Philippines had just strung together the two years before it.
August 12–17: Jastine Dalampasig, Mr. Universe
Dalampasig won Mr. Universe Philippines 2026 — the abbreviated title, that happened at the Viva Café in Quezon City, and one half of a naming collision we’ve already untangled in full: a second, nearly identically named title further down this list belongs to a completely different man, a completely different organization, and — check the period — a slightly different name. Dalampasig’s international leg is now locked: Mr. Universe 2026 (Season 5), under the Mr. Universe Organization founded by Sunny Mishra, runs in Lucknow, India, August 12–17.
September 4–14: John Bonifacio, Mister Cosmopolitan
John Bonifacio, representing Macabebe, Pampanga, won Mister Pilipinas Cosmopolitan 2026 and is trying to top his predecessor Kenneth Marcelino’s 1st Runner-Up finish at last year’s edition in Bangkok. Bonifacio’s trip is the pageant’s 4th edition, moving to Nha Trang City, Vietnam, for a 10-day itinerary running September 4 through 14, closing with grand coronation night at the coastal Do Theater.
September 3-9: Raven Lansangan, Manhunt International
Raven Renz Lansangan, from Mabalacat, Pampanga, is this year’s actual Manhunt International rep — and, like the Eco International situation below, he’s not this year’s MPW-crowned titleholder. He won Manhunt Philippine Male Supermodel back in 2025; the franchise runs a full cycle behind the others, so last year’s national winner is the one actually competing now, while this year’s winner, JP Gundayao, waits for 2027. Lansangan heads to the 24th Manhunt International World Final on September 9, in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
September 26: John Wayne Alba, Mister International
John Wayne Alba, a Filipino-Italian model and self-described car craftsman born in Italy to Filipino parents, representing Calamba, Laguna, won Mister Pilipinas International 2026 — the qualifying crown from Mister Pilipinas Worldwide (MPW), the Manila-based organization that’s absorbed most of the country’s major male-pageant franchises since 2023. Alba’s assignment sends him to Mister International, the Thailand-based pageant currently held by fellow Filipino Kirk Bondad, who won it in Nonthaburi last September. Alba’s own date is now confirmed: September 26, in Bangkok. A repeat win would make it back-to-back Mister International titles for the Philippines.
Worth a flag: Mister International also has a rival, Philippines-based organization — the original franchise holder after a 2022 leadership split — that runs its own, separately. We reached out directly to the reigning Mister International Philippines 2025, Lloyd Garcia, to check on status. His answer: even he doesn’t have a firm date yet, just word from the organization that it’s likely sometime around October or November this year.
October 11: MJ Ordillano, Mister Global
Myron Jude “MJ” Ordillano, from Parañaque, is a pageant veteran — he actually competed once before on the international stage, taking 4th Runner-Up at the Philippines-based Mister International back in 2022, years before this year’s Mister Pilipinas Global 2026 win. His shot at Mister Global comes down to one confirmed date: October 11, in Thailand, the pageant’s 12th edition, against 40 other national delegates. The Philippines has won this one before — Daumier “Dom” Corilla took the crown in 2024, the country’s first Mister Global title — so Ordillano isn’t chasing a first, he’s chasing a repeat. Mister Global has already started posting its 2026 contestant introductions, one country at a time, since August 2, and Ordillano is already in the rotation.
November 22–29: Logan Culp, Mister Universe
Logan de Leon Culp, of the Filipino community of Canada, won Mister Universe Philippines 2026 — the spelled-out title, run by the ALV Pageant Circle, awarded the same night Aaron Beau Davis won Mister World Philippines. That’s the other half of the naming collision above: unrelated to Dalampasig’s Mr. Universe Philippines crown, despite the near-identical name. Culp’s Los Angeles dates are locked: November 22–29.
November 22–December 1: Drei Arias, Mr. Gay World
Andrei “Drei” Arias carries the country’s flag to Mr. Gay World, an international pageant built around LGBTQ+ advocacy and community leadership as much as presentation. The full itinerary runs November 22 through December 1 in Cebu City — candidates arrive the 22nd, with grand coronation night on December 1 — notably, a rare instance of the international leg landing on Philippine soil rather than the delegate traveling out.
December: Rence Aldrich Mendoza, Mister Friendship International
Rence Aldrich Perez Mendoza, a 25-year-old Avionics Technology graduate of PATTS College of Aeronautics representing Parañaque, won Mister Friendship Philippines 2026. We already covered his coronation night — a franchise five years deep that’s produced kings but never a champion, with predecessor Kurt Aguilar’s 1st Runner-Up finish at Mister Friendship International 2025 now the actual bar to clear. Mendoza’s own trip lands this December, in Bangkok.
December: Juan Carlos “Jaycee” Lopez, Mister Celebrity International
Juan Carlos “Jaycee” Lopez, part of the same October 2025 Misters of Filipinas coronation class that produced the four kings we already profiled, carries a separate international assignment of his own — and a separate backstory. Lopez has since resigned from PEPPS, the organization behind Misters of Filipinas; his Mister Celebrity International crown now belongs to a different franchise owner entirely. He was re-sashed for the assignment, scheduled for December 2026 in China. Exact dates within the month aren’t public yet.
Date TBD: Enzo Bonoan, Mister Cosmo
Lorenzo Mari “Enzo” Bonoan’s title almost didn’t happen — Mister Cosmo was a last-minute addition to this year’s national pageant lineup, and Bonoan, a returning candidate from Quezon City, wasn’t originally expecting a crown at all. What he actually won is a ticket to the inaugural edition of Mister Cosmo itself — a brand-new pageant built as the male counterpart to Miss Cosmo, run by the Miss & Mister Cosmo Organization. The organization is set to reveal the edition’s full timeline on August 18, at a global press conference called “Fear of Missing Cosmo,” held at the GEM Center in Vietnam — so a real date is close, just not here yet.
Date TBD: Aaron Beau Davis, Mister World
Aaron Beau Davis, a Filipino-New Zealander model and college basketball player in the UAAP (the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, the country’s top collegiate sports league), was crowned Mr. World Philippines 2026 on August 2 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay City. His trip to Mister World itself is still an open question: the Miss World Organization, which also runs the male edition, hasn’t announced this cycle’s date or host country — current word is “late 2026,” unconfirmed.
January 12–15, 2027: Benjie Lituaco, Man Hot Star International
Benjie Lituaco, holding the provincial title Mister Nueva Ecija — a genuinely different pipeline from MPW or Misters of Filipinas, worth noting on its own — has been appointed to represent the Philippines at Man Hot Star International in Thailand. Despite carrying the “2026” branding, the actual competition runs January 12–15, 2027, in Chonburi. The Philippines has a track record here worth watching: Kristzan Delos Santos, one of the four Misters of Filipinas kings we already covered, placed 1st Runner-Up at a past edition.
Crowned This Cycle, Competing Next Year
Two more MPW titleholders were crowned alongside the names above but won’t actually compete internationally until 2027, since their franchises run a full cycle behind: JP Gundayao (Manhunt International 2027 — Lansangan, above, is this year’s actual rep) and Jason Romeo Lopez (Mister Worldwide 2027, though he’s already active — a July send-off in Pasig launched his prep tour, starting in London). A third, Godfrey Murillo, is in the same position for Mister Eco International 2027 — this year’s actual rep, 2025 titleholder Kitt Cortez, already competed June 11 in Baguio and placed 2nd Runner-Up. Worth knowing they exist, not worth confusing with this year’s active competitors.
Why Track Them All
These men were never competing against each other — different pageants, different judging panels, different months, in some cases different countries hosting rival versions of the same name. What they share is a single national pageant boom feeding almost every major international male title at once, which hasn’t happened on this scale before. Treat this less as a countdown to one big result and more as a growing list of separate storylines worth following on their own terms — one already closed, the rest updated here as they play out.
Who’s Not on This List
This lineup deliberately leaves out four other Filipino titleholders on the international pageant circuit right now: Jacob Gomez, Kristzan Delos Santos, Calix Esguerra, and John Hipolito, all produced by the Misters of Filipinas pageant rather than any of the organizations above. We already covered that group, since folding them in here would blur two genuinely separate national systems into one confusing list — Jaycee Lopez, from that same coronation class, appears above for a different reason: the Mister Celebrity International franchise is no longer under PEPPS at all. He resigned from PEPPS and was re-sashed for the assignment by Apollo Smith, the franchise’s new owner.
