michaeldavantesphotpg1 My multi-tasker friend of a Fashion Photographer Michael Davantes had a shoot for the Francis Libiran and pieces in the designer’s “100 Collection” as worn by some of the guys from Misters of the Philippines 2014 including Mister Global Philippines 2014 Joseph Doruelo and semifinalist Elvin Tiel. Check out his other works HERE.

Now since this post is really more about Michael Davantes, allow me to segue the focus to this brilliant man. You should know that – aside from being an excellent fashion lensman – he is also a Talent Manager/Discoverer (he gets the bragging rights for Eian Scully – the international endorser of 2xist underwear – who is currently one of the top male models in the world), TV host (for Mabuhay Montreal TV) and a staunch supporter of Misters/The Mister Filipinas Search 2015 (even as far back as last year when it was still called Misters of the Philippines) .

“I do admire PEPPS, the producer of Misters “The Mister Filipinas Search”, for the fact that this organization is not just about finding the best Filipinos to represent the biggest male pageants in the world. They are also genuinely concerned about the careers of their Misters so that they sought my help, having the experience of managing top international models. PEPPS is in pursuit of providing career opportunities to their “Misters” – not just locally but globally as well. So I try to help as much as I can.” stated Michael.

Misters/The Mister Filipinas Search 2015 will be bigger, bolder and braver.

With Michael Davantes giving his 100% support to Misters 2015, the upcoming edition of the country’s biggest male pageant will definitely exceed the last – both in quality and post-pageant opportunities for the winners. And add to that my commitment to PEPPS, this blog’s coverage will be the most extensive yet. 😀

  1. Virgillo, looks a little feminine. Sorry. Maybe too much asian-chinese. No offense, but women “automatically” suspect him as “size challenged” in the romance department. It’s kind of a turn-off. Misters pageant should emulate Pinoy MASCULINITY!
    Look at Neil Perez! He is a round-eyed Malay-Island hunk and 100% hot.
    Good luck anyways. 🙂

      So that’s where my Dad is hiding!… Havn’t seen him for days… Or maybe he’s stuck inside there, can you feel him? I hope he’s not dehydrated…

    • I knew it! He does love spelunking at tight places… ILABAS MO NA ANG TATAY KO!!!

    • Yes he does. Also, he shared that he was tired of living with his roommate in your love palace! LOLOLOLOLOL… I’m sorry Closer, couldn’t resist. That’s it, I promise. Love ya!
      Peace.

  4. And while we are on the PEPPs subject matter…I am posting this picture to point out the good stuff or what the implications might be…

    1. Apparently PEPPs is casting a wider net for a greater reach? What with an organized European outfit, plus Australia and UK. Not sure if they will extend to Canada, as there is IPEN there led by Edgar Sulit who is a Filipino expat and founder of Mr. Global International (where Mr. Candaba of MUCP is going to). So over-all, I think the bigger PEPPs is indeed exciting. More more more candidates everywhere…

    2. With more more more candidates everywhere, we can be sure that the so called “pageantry standards” will definitely scale up…literally. I mean I expect to see more candidates who are really tall (over 6’0″)…and I expect candidates whose physique are pageant ready (cuts and curves)… this leaves just a little bit of facial enhancement and showmanship polishing prior to the international competion…exciting!!!

    3. The added implication is that locally, modeling outfits who usually utilize these national pageants to improve their talents’ public exposure and recognition, will likewise up their game. That is, they will most probably exert their utmost effort to prepare their talents for the cut-throat competition at the national level kasi nga malalakas ang kalaban. If they want their talents to win, then they really have to resort to intense preparation, ala Binibining Pilipinas… so this is again exciting for male pageantry.

    4. We get to see how Judah has transformed in preparation for Mr. Tourism International. I have been very direct in my assessment that he has not improved on his physique from the latest picture we have of him. So now, I will withhold my comments and wait for an updated picture. I am hoping Tito Norms was right to say that perhaps we can expect a miraculous transformation. I am crossing my fingers.

    So in closing, I am wishing PEPPs the best of success…. PARA SA BAYAN!

  5. If Michael Devantes can do it, so we can. Let’s all support MISTERS (The Mister Filipinas Search). #ForthePhilippines!!!

  6. Truly awesome… I am looking forward to a bigger, better PEPPs. I love what they stand for in terms of male pageantry…and I support that.

    But most of all, as they try to give credence and relevance to their delegates post-pageant… community involvement…and be an inspiration to others, especially the children to become more of themselves…

    Goodluck PEPPs… I wish you more success… and MORE TITLES for PH 🙂

    • In the first photo, seeing Neil with Francis made me think that the former was doing an overseas engagement. So the two Misters were actually in Tawi-tawi. More power to both of them!

      • “seeing neil with francis..”?! i’m seeing neil with carlos! 😆

      • @DC’15 LOL

        May similarity nga silang 2 ni MW2013… but even if Amir is older, I think mas gwapo si Amir. He really looks very good and in his shirtless pix, he is truly H.A.F.
