MR. PHILIPPINES Finals Night Slated August 2!

It was a fun and exciting afternoon at Regal Entertainment's very own Valencia Events Place in Quezon City. It was immediately filled with pageant, bloggers, micro influencers, media and hunky men vying for the crown of Mr. Philippines 2026.

The organization will be looking for men to represent the Philippines in international pageants such as Grand International, Model International and World Quest. These 3 titles are of equal bearing, and from the looks of it, we're one of the countries to look out for (as Filipinos are absolutely good looking, smart and have great personalities).

This was also the opportune time to showcase their formal wear and active wear (courtesy of the folks from BENCH). Pageant Director Albert Bryan Abelido thanked and welcomed the sponsors and signed the Mr. Philippines 2026 with brands who will make the finals night happen on August 2 at the Palacio de Maynila in Del Pilar Street in the city of Manila.

Here are highlights from the red carpet:

The finale press presentation was also done to recognize the Mr. Philippines 2026 Media Choice Award. It was done by press voting that afternoon wherein 3 candidates will be given commemorative sash and cash prizes courtesy of the Philippine Entertainment Bloggers Association (PEBA). After hours of deliberation, contestants hailing from Makati, Mandaluyong and Pasig were announced as winners (Aethan Calix Cervantes, Zandro Sales and Angelo Dripin respectively). Congratulations!

If you wish to be part of the finals night, you can secure tickets via TicketMelon ( https://www.ticketmelon.com/mrphilippines/MrPhilippines ). You'll witness how the judges would choose the right men for the titles, in the quest of bringing home the international crowns and muster the courage to represent the country on the world stage. We can't wait to see who will win! Remember, the finals night will happen on August 2, and gates open at 6PM!

0KGåmës Hold "Vanity and Vìçë" Party

It was not that hard filling up the hottest stage in town as the folks from 0KGåmës made April 25th crazy fun with the 0KGåmës Vanity and Vicë event. This was the chance to take their precious VIP's into the next level entertainment performances with celebrities, guests just so they could deliver the beyond experience vision they've talked about since their inception. They also had the OKGL Master Series where the best of the best folks brought their A game to battle it out against other wizards, like a showdown of sorts, to find out who will win BIG! The champ took home 1 Million Pesos of course, and runners up got cash and e-credits. 

Folks also got interested with the King of Talk Boy Abunda via the "0KTälk with Tito Boy" where he mouthed vocabularies with his lookalike Tito Bhoy. It was a super funny segment. 

In the last bit, they did the 0KÄngëls Finals. The gorgeous ladies made sure to put their best moves on stage, and got Tatiana, Janine, Alleah, Renzy, Keshia, Eunice  and Edciel got recognized as the new 0KĀngëls which means they got the 300k talent contract that comes with it. They also gave a brand new motorcycle in the raffle plus crowned the champ for the league too. They're so right calling it extra ordinary for starters, but it was certainly what one could expect with them right?! 

Can't wait to see more of this soon!

Community Fun Starts at Puregold Harkot Relay Run

Tons of runners had so much fun during the Puregold Hakot Relay Run last November at Burnhan Green Park. Totally different from the usual running event, participants had to pick up grocery items along the way for the 3 kilometer run. 

Going home with products from the country's top manufacturers must have been a treat for moms who belong from the UP Running Community, their husband an kids also began telling about the experience online when they began running out of space to sleep at home with how much they got to take home from the event, they want to participate in future ones, something they didn't expect to get with the 500 peso registration they gave for it. Plus the fact that they were able to do it with friends and family.

Casual runnenrs like Mac Crisostomo even loved the singlet, medal and program they got from the event. Dubbing it as the best they've ever attended, 25 kg rice bags were all carried, something that would last them almost 2 months especially in this economy. From groceries, toiletries, snacks and essentials, they took photos and shared their experience on socials, all being thankful for the generosity shown by the top supermarket brand. Some of them even sent their groceries to relatives in the provinces , to share what little they have obtained from Puregold Hakot Relay Run. 

Add to that the performajces of top acts G22, Kaia, Press Hit Play, with PBB Celebrity Collab Edition housemates Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca, they were all loved by fans who waited for them for hours. Will there be a repeat of it soon?! Congratulations to everyone who participated!
