PASIG Wins in Inaugural MR. PHILIPPINES Pageant

The first Mr. Philippines just unveiled their 6 kings, with Pasig's Angelo Dripin topping the list winning the GRAND INTERNATIONAL PHILIPPINES 2026 crown. My personal bet Samuel Bryant landed 2nd Runner Up while heavy fan favorite Zandro Sales of Mandaluyong City got 1st Runner Up. Crowns for the I AM MODEL SEARCH PHILIPPINES 2026 went to Patrick Sy of Caloocan City, Nate Reyes of San Juan got the GRAND TEEN PHILIPPINES 2026 crown, while Carl Santiago of Laguna will represent us in the GLOBAL RUNWAY Competition and Raedel Zein of the Filipino Community in UAE will represent us for MAN OF THE YEAR.

The pageant started around dinner time and lasted until around 1am. It was a tough competition but overall, they weathered through it. It was a mix of veterans and newbies, some find the Q and A the most difficult part of it. Some of them don't even talk when getting interviewed, but performed well in the finals night.

Were the titles well deserved? Absolutely. The judges were actually around 37 if I'm not mistaken, at one point there were more judges than contestants. But I guess they really did it good because it was their performance that made them place on crowns. The heavy favorites didn't quite get placed more or less because they didn't answer the final question best. So overall, I think it was a fair contest.

Congratulations and here's to getting the crowns for the country!

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!

My Daily Collagen and My Saiko Skin Partner with Binibining Pilipinas 2026

This event was something quite exciting especially when they told us that well loved health drink My Daily Collagen and new skincare brand My Saiko Skin (all under Global Wellness) is going to partner with Binibining Pilipinas 2026, the country's premiere pageant.

Their executives welcomed the ladies who gave us more reasons to love them, a fashion show featuring their products, a little introduction, then an interview later on with the press. They were asked mostly about their beauty regimen and things that they do to maintain their healthy looking skin. They were pretty candid about it. One thing I can assure you though is that they aced the questions, probably because they've all been filtered to qualify for the Binibining Pilipinas, where every Filipina is top notch .

Here's what it looked like during the runway challenge:

Here is our interview with them:

As you can see, the ladies are all beautiful, intelligent and ready for any challenge. My Daily Collagen has been partnering with several multi sport runs (even Triathlons) and has continued to make sure athletes get the necessary vitamins and minerals they need to last the day. The stress of doing a pageant is no joke and they've managed to help these ladies last throughout the day, keep them gorgeous and healthy too. Here's part of the party scenes which happened after the press conference:
