Aspiring male pageant titlists still have a chance to compete for a national title as the Mr. World Philippines pageant has just announced the date of their final screening for applicants.
In one of the more recent posts on its official Instagram account, the Mr. World Philippines organization announced that it will hold its final screening on April 11 at the Double Dragon Plaza in Pasay City, starting at 11 a.m. Aspiring delegates need to arrive in smart casual attire and bring their own swimwear, preferably trunks. Different photos, a physical examination certificate, and a psychological examination are also required.
The Mr. World Philippines has announced multiple screenings over the past few months. The organization had earlier conducted a screening back in November 29, 2025.
That screening came after the Mr. World Philippines organization earlier announced that the application period would be extended to November 14, 2025, mentioning in a now deleted Instagram 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 Bondad 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 Bondad has since gone on to win in the Mister International pageant, a win that he declared was a moment bigger than himself.
