Announcement fro the Miss World Philippines Organization after today’s Final Casting Call for #MrWorldPhilippines2018:
The partial Official Candidates of Mr. World Philippines 2018 are as follows –
1. Joy Jerome Evangelista
2. JB Saliba
3. Karl Louie Aragon
4. Abdullah Sharif Cheng
5. Denver Hernandez
6. Wilfred Placencia
7. Reymart Regis
8. Marco Poli
9. Robin Hanrath
10. Mark Jero Bagaporo
11. Miguel De Castro
12. EmirDon Abbo
13. Ricardo De Jesus
14. Joshua Reginald Banatin (left photo)
The candidates mentioned above will be joined by the ones from the provinces and those selected through a special process to complete the list of official candidates. The press presentation of the contest will happen on Tuesday at Maxim’s in Resorts World Manila.
Among the announced contenders, it would be interesting to note the entry of crossover titleholders like Mister Philippines 2017 Denver Hernandez, Mister Grand Philippines 2017 Joshua Reginald Banatin and former winners of Mister United Continents and Mr Republic of the Philippines Ricardo de Jesus and Wilfred Placencia, respectively.
This early, though, the favorite of many is Fil-Italian Marco Poli who at 6’3” is the tallest and the one closest to the Mr World peg of Julia Morley.
More about this national male pageant soon!

Certainly, the eye-candy Poli will be the Catriona Gray of this lot. But my apprehension, Mr. Tinio, is precisely because he might not have had residency yet like the Cory Quirino-appointed Ajdani and Spainhour, he might just come across to the Judges as diffident. You found him to be a well-spoken. Hopefully, he will be as well-spoken (and credible) as Wollf.
For my part, let us not give too much attention on the main title, our country being the host and we know the awkwardness of that. We could just assign that to anybody respectable enough.
The REAL test is finding REALLY GOOD reps to Supranational and Eco-International! The former, after two relatively uninspiring bets by another organization, now appears to have a quite definite archetype. And the latter, a STRONG candidate to set the bar for all to come after.
Bakit tinagal ang selection ng candidates nito? Kaloka! Idk pero mas excited ang mga lgbt sa mwp/ female pageants kesa sa mr world or any male pageants hehe. So next tuesday ang press presentation ng mrwp? How about mwp po? Kailan po ang official numbering? Yung number nila sa official list yun na ba ang official number? And screening po kailan po?
Parang mga candidates sa Mr. Gay!
Idk, yun ang nakikita ko sa karaminhan sa kanila…kita sa mga ngiti e…hehehe
Mr Gay World 2016 bhe …………..LOL!
Okay yung marco foli pero medyo May chakang angle yung face. May kailangan ipabelo sa face ni bakla para gumwapo ng todo.
ang daming pamintang durog at buo. Hachoooo! Come out of the closet mga seswang.
Norman, can you explain that ‘special process’ you mentioned above?
As of the moment, the candidate that near-fits the Mr. World mold is the Fil-Italian Marco Poli. My next choice would be JB Saliba and the other would be Wilfred Placencia (i like his sex appeal though not strikingly handsome).
Yuck may hiv si Wilfred placenta. Suki siya ng mga bakla noong cheapangga days niya sa mga gay bar and bikini open.
Bintang pa more. Baka ikaw ang dapuan ni Aida, day.
Wag ka namang ganyan inday. That remains to be proven. Let him move on and be happy.
