Kirk Bondad


Mister World Philippines Kirk Bondad is hoping to bring the Mister World crown back to the country.

It's just a little over a week until the Mister World coronation night and the county's representative, Kirk Bondad, is making sure that he is making an impression in the judges' minds.

In one of the more recent posts on the Miss World Philippines Instagram account, the organization congratulated Kirk for making it to the Top 12 of the Mister World Top Model competition. The organization also commended Kirk for showcasing Filipino craftsmanship by wearing a suit made by designer Francis Libiran.

Kirk flew to Vietnam last week to compete in the 2024 Mister World pageant being held in the province of Bình Thuận. The Miss World Philippines Instagram account shared photos from the send-off, along with a caption that wished Kirk the best of luck during the competition.

The Mister World coronation night is set to happen on November 23, 2024, at NovaWorld Phan Thiết in Vietnam. The contestants are hoping to succeed England's Jack Heslewood, who is the current reigning Mister World.

If Kirk continues to perform well in the Mister World competition, he will be another successful representative of the Philippines in a male beauty pageant. Last month, Dom Corilla won the 2024 Mister Global pageant, besting 31 other candidates and becoming the first-ever titleholder from the Philippines.

Dom impressed the judges and audience with his Top 11 speech on bayanihan.

“The Philippine culture that I want to exercise globally is bayanihan, which means one with your country, one with your community, and in simple terms, love your neighbor. Because if you start loving your neighbor, imagine the world peace that we can achieve, the conflicts and wars that we can prevent. If we apply this culturally all around the world, we can really make a difference,” he said.

Mister Supranational Philippines Brandon Espiritu became the most successful delegate the country has sent to the Mister Supranational pageant back in July after ending the pageant as second runner-up.

Both Brandon and Dom won the opportunity to represent the country at the Mister Supranational pageant and the Mister Global pageant respectively by taking part in the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide pageant held last year. Brandon won the pageant while Dom placed in the top six.
