Day 2 of the Miss World Philippines 2021 screening and the initial stage for #MrWorldPhilippines 2021 took place at the Crimson Function Room of Red Hotel Philippines today.
It is no secret by now that Ganiel Krishnan had the most lively interview among the aspirants, going as far as her quotable quote of “Miss World or nothing!” Thus far, she is the considered flag bearer of Kagandahang Flores in the competition, unless another surprise contender from the said camp shows up during the Final Screening scheduled for mid-April.
There was a nice mix of fresh and familiar applicants interviewed from both Aces & Queens and Kagandahang Flores Camp:
– the daughter of a former Mutya ng Pilipinas runner-up and Manhunt International 2nd Runner-Up;
– two beautiful Northern Samar lasses from the same municipality gunning for a good show in the pageant;
– another #phenomenal woman from 2020;
– a national titleholder who already represented us in an international pageant in South America;
– a tall Ilongga returning to the competition;
– a beautiful CPA who left the panel in awe;
– a Dumaguete lass who serenaded the judges with her soothing acoustic vocal talent;
– a female Welder from Batangas who grew up in an orphanage, but with both parents still alive;
– a tall 17 year-old eye candy from Makati who could gun for any of the titles if she plays her game plan right;
– a former pageant tabulator who aims to cross over and become a beauty queen;
– a statuesque Bicolana – tallest so far at 5’10” – who figured out well in a past edition of Miss Bicolandia;
– a well-trained teenager from Bukidnon who can give other pageant professionals a run for their pasarela money;
And more!
On the male side, there are seven I would like to give hints about:
– a Fil-Spanish six-footer of a mestizo football player from Alabang whose energy is infectious;
– a returning Mr World PH candidate who has leveled up and who could possibly dance his way to the finals;
– a Police Corporal from Bulacan who has long been wanting to temporarily step aside from his task in the police force and become a pageant king;
– a well-spoken guy who grew up almost all his life in Singapore and wants to do well in his first male pageant attempt ever;
– a tall Kapampangan who just finished his Entrepreneurship degree and exudes an all-around Pinoy charm.
– a reigning Ginoong Bulacan titleholder who has already made the rounds of other national male pageants in the past.
– and a Flight Attendant who already appeared in an online series
Let’s see who among them will eventually become Official Candidates in both national pageants!
Sharing with you now the video of the 4th Episode of Pageantry Norms titled “The Kings & I: The Kings of Philippine Pageantry” aired earlier on TPP TV via The Philippine Pageantry.
In this afternoon’s 4th episode of Pageantry Norms, the spotlight will be on five of the Kings of Philippine Pageantry led by Andrew Wolff who placed 1st Runner-Up during Mr World 2012. He will be joined by George de Lumen, our first-ever Mister Universal Ambassador who won last 2018. Misters of Filipinas JP Ocat who was Man of the World 2019 4th Runner-Up, Ginoong Pilipinas 2019 Erik Visser and Mr World Asia Pacific 2019 JB Saliba will complete the panel.
Join us in the discussion at 4pm later on TPP TV via The Philippine Pageantry.
Just as I correctly predicted, the rocket scientist zoomed to the top of the World.
Rejoice, England 🏴! Jack Heslewood is Mr World 2019. He is joined in the podium finish by 1st Runner-Up Fezile Mkhize of South Africa 🇿🇦 and 2nd Runner-Up Brian Faugier of Mexico 🇲🇽.
Jack is a 27-year-old Aerospace Engineering graduate with a Masters in Business. He hails from Hertfordshire. Formerly a rocket scientist for Marshall’s Aerospace, he is now an advertising technology manager. In addition, Jack has modelled from an early age. He speaks English, basic French and Bahasa (Indo-Malaysian). Keeping fit is an important part of his lifestyle aside from playing the drums (a skill he was able to display during the Talent Finals the other night).
The continental winners are:
Mr World Europe Alberto Nodale of Austria 🇦🇹
Mr World Caribbean Alejandro Martinez of Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Mr World Americas Brian Faugier of Mexico 🇲🇽
Mr World Africa Fezile Mkhize of South Africa 🇿🇦
Mr World Asia/Pacific JB Saliba of the Philippines 🇵🇭
The two other finalists in the Top 5 are Carlos Franco of Brazil 🇧🇷 and Alejandro Martinez of the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴.

Unless last-minute changes in the format will take effect between now and Friday evening, the Mr World 2019 Finals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum will have the first cut set at Top 24, followed by the second cut to the semifinals at Top 12 and eventually a Top 5 before the announcement of the big winner and his two runners-up.
Here now are normannorman.com’s final picks for the Top 24 in alphabetical order:
Leonardo Díaz Alincastro of Argentina 🇦🇷
Alberto Nodale of Austria 🇦🇹
Darko Milović of Bosnia & Herzegovina 🇧🇦
Carlos Franco of Brazil 🇧🇷
Makala N Nganda Courtez of Cameroon 🇨🇲
Alessandro Coward of Canada 🇨🇦
Daniel castrillon. of Colombia 🇨🇴
Jakub Kraus of the Czech Republic 🇨🇿
Alejandro Martinez of the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Daniel Vallejo of Ecuador 🇪🇨
David Pivaral of El Salvador 🇸🇻
Jack Heslewood of England 🏴
Tino Kantonen of Finland 🇫🇮
Wayne Walsh of Ireland 🇮🇪
Marco D’Elia of Italy 🇮🇹
Jean-Paul Bitar of Lebanon 🇱🇧
Brian Faugier of Mexico 🇲🇽
Adam Steenson of Northern Ireland 🇬🇧
JB Saliba of the Philippines 🇵🇭
Fezile Mkhize of South Africa 🇿🇦
Daniel Torres Moreno of Spain 🇪🇸
Anakin Nontiprasit of Thailand 🇹🇭
Mikaele ‘Henry’ Ahomana of Tonga 🇹🇴
Jorge Eduardo Nunez Martinez of Venezuela 🇻🇪
Next in line: My Top 12 as I cut the list in half.
Having spent enough time with the 72 candidates the past weeks, I have extra confidence in coming up with this list of Top 12. With three (3) spots already earmarked for Fezile Mkhize of South Africa who won the Sports Challenge, Wayne Walsh of Ireland who topped the Extreme Challenge and Mikaele ‘Henry’ Ahomana of Tonga who was named Mr World Top Talent last night, the nine other guys who deserve to join them are:
Leonardo Díaz Alincastro of Argentina 🇦🇷
Carlos Franco of Brazil 🇧🇷
Alejandro Martinez of the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Jack Heslewood of England 🏴
Jean-Paul Bitar of Lebanon 🇱🇧
Brian Faugier of Mexico 🇲🇽
JB Saliba of the Philippines 🇵🇭
Anakin Nontiprasit of Thailand 🇹🇭
Jorge Eduardo Nunez Martinez of Venezuela 🇻🇪
It would also be a breeze for the winner of the Top Model Challenge (who will be announced tomorrow night) because all of the Top 5 finalists in this fast-track segment (Dominican Republic, England, Venezuela, Philippines and Mexico) are already included above in my list.
At this point, the likely winner of Mr World 2019 is already shaping up to be a three-way battle among Brian Faugier of Mexico 🇲🇽, Jack Heslewood of England 🏴 and Fezile Mkhize of South Africa 🇿🇦. From where I stand, one of these three guys have the serious upper hand, and it would take an unforgivable blunder in the Q&A/Interview to surrender their front-running positions.
Personally, I would love to see the Mexican Brian Faugier being the successor of Rohit Khandelwal. But there is an equally strong possibility that Jack Heslewood of England would take the title away from him. I would give the slight edge to the latter because he would make an excellent spokesperson for both the Mr and Miss World Organizations in doing all their charity projects and causes around the world. Fezile of South Africa is the biggest spoiler in my opinion if the breaks go his way, with Carlos Franco of Brazil right behind him.
But at this point, signs are showing me that – ultimately – the Mr World 2019 title is likely to be brought back to London just in time for Miss World 2019 this coming December.
Thus, I end this by stating that normannorman.com’s predicted winner is Jack Heslewood of England 🏴.

There are still more events to cover for the competition so this list can easily change depending on who among the rest can shine more strongly than the ones listed above.
Below are some photos from yesterday’s Extreme Challenge event held at the PNP-SAF Training Center in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
The candidates of Mr World 2019 had a fun and emotional time at Tuloy Foundation where they had an audience with Founder Fr. Rockie Evangelista who served as an inspiration for all the guys who now look up to him as a role model to follow in their respective countries. Ms Julia Morley of MWO plus Miss World 2018 Vanessa Ponce de León and Miss World 2016 Stephanie del Valle joined in the activity as well.
Below are more photos from the event.
The Mr World 2019 candidates were given a rousing welcome at the Novotel Manila Araneta Center (Official Residence) earlier in the afternoon today. Actually, around half of the expected 88 have already checked-in, with the rest arriving tonight and tomorrow to complete the roster for Thursday’s Press Presentation.
Mr Philippines JB Saliba – looking stylish and spiffy in a Barong Tagalog – was on hand to welcome his new brothers. The atmosphere was very festive as loud banging of rhythmic drums filled the hotel’s lobby.
Between now and August 22, the candidates will have their hands full with different activities and fast-track challenges leading to the finals on August 23 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Below are more photos from the said activity.
