Kenneth Marcelino, Jether Palomo, and Kirk Bondad will speak to the press today at the KMC, Armstrong Corporate Center.
Filipino pageant fans and aficionados need to get ready to cheer as three of the country's male beauty pageant winners are about to be sent off to compete in different international pageants.
In one of the more recent posts on its official Instagram account, the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide organization announced that current reigning Mister Cosmopolitan Philippines Kenneth Marcelino, current reigning Mister Global Philippines Jether Palomo, and current reigning Mister International Philippines Kirk Bondad will take part in a send-off press conference at 2 p.m. today at the KMC, Armstrong Corporate Center.
The Mister Cosmopolitan pageant will be held from September 2 to September 9, the Mister International pageant from September 12 to September 26, and the Mister Global pageant from September 25 to October 5. All of the pageants will be held in Bangkok, Thailand.
Kenneth, Jether, and Kirk were three of the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide pageant winners announced back in April. The other winners were Mister Supranational fourth runner-up Kenneth Cabungcal, current reigning Mister Pilipinas Manhunt International 2025 Raven Lansangan, 2025 Mister Eco International Philippines Kitt Cortez, and 2025 Man of the Year Philippines Michael Angelo Toledo.
Since clinching the fourth runner-up position in Mister Supranational, Kenneth has gone on a little vacation detour in Switzerland.
The send off comes after the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide had to release a number of statements in support of some of their embattled winners and competitors. Earlier this month, the organization released a statement in support of Jacinth Ziff, who detailed being touched inappropriately by a local designer and the national director of the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide Butuan organization in a Facebook post.

In their statement, the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide organization condemned “all forms of harassment, assault and exploitation.” The organization also expressed its gratitude to Jacinth and reiterated that it is working very hard to “elevate the pageant community and promote a safe space in the industry.” The organization also assured its followers that they will not work with the local director, designer, team and individuals again.
This statement came after the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide organization reaffirmed its support for Raven Lansangan after the Mister Pampanga organization revoked Raven's title as Mister Pampanga 2024, citing “serious violations of the organization's Code of Ethics.” The organization stated that Raven failed to fulfill the duties and obligations required under his title, and that he joined another organization without the prior consent of the Mister Pampanga Organization.
The Mister Pampanga Organization then wrote that they hope Renz's future endeavors will “reflect the values of loyalty, dedication, and commitment to moral responsibilities.”
