Aspiring pageant titlists can start the new year on the right path to fulfilling their dreams as both the Miss World Philippines and Mr. World Philippines have announced the date of their final screening for applicants.
In the more recent posts on both the Miss World Philippines and Mr. World Philippines Instagram accounts, both organizations announced that their final screenings will both be held on December 5, 2025, with venue and other details to follow. Both posts included links to applications forms, as well as the necessary requirements for the screenings.
The Mr. World Philippines pageant, in particular, has had multiple screenings over the past few months. Earlier this month, it announced that it would be conducting a final screening on November 29, 2025.
This announcement followed two earlier extensions of the deadline of applications for the Mr. World Philippines pageant. The Mr. World Philippines organization earlier announced that the application period would be extended to November 14, 2025, mentioning in the caption to the post that it was open to accepting either a “seasoned contender” or someone “stepping into the spotlight for the first time”.
Before that announcement, the Mr. World Philippines organization extended the deadline for its application period to October 15, 2025.
The initial deadline for applications was set on August 30, 2025, with the organization providing a link to application forms as well as instructions to applicants to send one full body shot, one swimwear photo and one headshot.
The pageant is looking for the successor of Mr. World Philippines 2024 Kirk Bondad, who finished in the Top 20 of the pageant.
When he competed in the Mr. World competition, Kirk placed in the Top 12 of the Mr. World Top Model competition. Kirk was commended by the Mr. World Philippines for showcasing Filipino craftsmanship by wearing a suit made by designer Francis Libiran.
The closest the country has come to winning the Mr. World pageant was back in 2012 when Andrew Wolff placed first runner-up to Mr. Colombia Francisco Javier Escobar Parra.
Kirk has since gone on to win in the Mister International pageant, a win that he declared was a moment bigger than himself.
