Jake Batiancela, who is a licensed doctor, advocates for key health concerns, and meaningful healthcare initiatives.
After finishing in the top four at Mister International Philippines 2024, Jake Batiancela, a licensed medical doctor from Leyte, starts preparing for the 9th Mister Model International in Baranquilla, Colombia, from May to June 2025.
During a press conference, Mister Model International president, Luis Trujillo, officially welcomed him to the organization. Batiancela, on the other hand, spoke about his road to becoming the country's official representative and his expectations for the international contest.
“As a doctor, the platform would allow me to advocate for key health concerns, educate the public, and cooperate on meaningful healthcare initiatives that line with my passion for service.
"Participating in the competition would also help me improve my communication skills, allowing me to inspire and engage broad audiences.
"The Mister Model International platform would also assist me in realizing my potential as a respected role model, not just for my looks but also for my significant contributions to society,” he said, expressing his enthusiasm for health, well-being, and community involvement.
In addition to using the platform for good, Batiancela's preparation consists of intense physical training, emotional resilience development, and ongoing studies to maintain his devotion to both his medical profession and his role as a beauty ambassador for the Philippines. He understands that the competition is also about how you present yourself on a global scale.
Batiancela is also a singer who wishes to pursue a full-time career in the entertainment industry. He recently auditioned for Bench as a model. Last April, he passed the Physicians Licensure Examination.
The Mister Model International competition will have representatives from all over the world competing in a variety of categories such as modeling, fashion, and other talents.
