Current reigning Mister International Kirk Bondad is feeling grateful and thanking the people behind his journey on his social media account.
In one of the more recent posts on his Instagram account, Kirk uploaded multiple photos from his time at the Mister International pageant, showing him not just winning the title, but also taking part in the pageant's production number and getting a congratulatory embrace from his parents.
In the caption to the post, Kirk declared that his winning moment was bigger than himself and was a testament to faith, hard work, and the power of a nation rallying behind one dream. He then listed down the organizations and individuals who made his journey possible, from the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide organization, to designers Francis Libiran and Patrick Isorena, and to his family, friends, and fans in the Philippines and all over the world.

The Mister Pilipinas Worldwide organization earlier called for votes for Kirk three weeks ago, stating that it will help land Kirk in the top six of the pageant.
The Mister Pilipinas Worldwide organization also called for a “bayanihan” vote (https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/showbiznews/mister-pilipinas-worldwide-calls-for-bayanihan-votes-for-kirk-bondad/126141/) for Kirk a week ago, stating that this also helps Kirk get the “coveted crown.”
Kirk has also been congratulated by his friends here in the Philippines, foremost of which is Status by Sparkle star Brandon Espiritu who posted an Instagram Reel of him and Kirk's time together as friends, along with a long caption celebrating Kirk's pageant win. In the caption, Brandon wrote that Kirk pushed him, held him accountable, and was even the reason that he got into pageants in the first place. He also wrote that he's seen Kirk's battles and losses and how he's gotten back up again, and that seeing him bring home a crown for the country is “unreal.”
