Summer just got hotter in Episode 5 this week. We always have one program with an all-male guest line-up per season. And this is it!

“Are they Supra-ready for the World?”

We have five (5) of the many hunks who will give the titles of Mr World Philippines and Mr Supranational Philippines a fight if they make it as Official Candidates:

1) Actor and commercial model JM Mendoza
2) Returning pageant aspirant Mark Jero Bagaporo
3) Footballer and former Superbods Tony de Oteyza
4) Model and social media hottie Martin Mendiola
5) Singer and Gentlemen of the World Pageant winner Mark Avila

Below is the video of the episode.

Throwback Thursday: When John Spainhour and Sam Ajdani were announced as Mr. World Philippines

This is an old file photo taken last May 29, 2014 when John Spainhour and Sam Ajdani were announced as Mr World Philippines of two separate years

 
Nearly two years ago today, or May 29, 2014 to be exact, an event was held inside Glorietta 6 in Makati where Mr World Philippines 2014 was to be selected in front of invited members of the Press. The interesting part was that only two (2) candidates were present to compete for the title – John Spainhour and Sam Ajdani. Both handsome guys are popular choices for the honor. But in the end, the former was formally announced by Ms. Cory Quirino as our representative to Mr. World 2014 which will start in the UK just 24 hours or so after.
Sam Ajdani did not go home empty-handed because he was also named Mr. World Philippines but for 2015 – which was last year and which did not materialize. Everyone was disappointed that his preparations went to waste.

 

Mr. World 2016 will be held in Southport, UK on July 19

 
But with Mr. World 2016 finally pushing through in Southport, UK this coming July 19, things are looking up for Sam Ajdani who is still the one recognized as our bet in this – the Search for the World’s Most Desirable Man.

 

Mr. World Philippines 2015 Sam Ajdani

 
Is Sam ready for the big fight? I sure hope he is. Despite the long wait, the representation is still #ForThePhilippines.

The two (2) Mr. World Philippines titleholders make headway into our favorite bookstores and newsstands this month as they separately grace the cover of two entirely different magazines.

Mr. World Philippines 2014 John Spainhour is in his most dashingly scruffy look in the October-November issue of Illustrado, while Mr. World Philippines 2015 Sam Ajdani makes an all-out buffed and topless assault in the October 2014 edition of Men’s Health Magazine.

If John has already moved on from his Mr. World 2014 experience, Sam is just starting to take in all the scheduled trainings and improvements for his future participation in Mr. World 2015.

The only detail I have yet to hear about is his proposed training with the Philippine Army as announced by Ms. Cory Quirino earlier in the year. Will that crucial exposure ever see the light of day? I really hope so. Otherwise, he will have to go through Andrew Wolff’s hands by default. 😉

It’s not like the Philippines is wanting for world-class Filipinos to represent the country in Mr. World. But when we are served with such outstanding mixed-race hunks like John Spainhour and Sam Ajdani, there’s no other choice but to become our most submissive selves. Truth be told, their formal selections as Mr. World Philippines 2014 and 2015 respectively have become causes for constant shouts of joy and adulation. Not only do they give reasons to hope for our very first Mr. World victory, they could also pave the way for a back-to-back top finish in Julia Morley’s desirable male caravan.

And if John Spainhour starts his campaign in Torbay on the right foot (as I assume he will), we could be on another pageant roll and extend the winning streak of 2013 even more.

My excitement is unbridled. Let the games begin! 😀
