I regretfully missed the Press Launch of Misters 2015: The Misters of Pilipinas Search yesterday afternoon at K-Pub in The Fort. I had to prioritize my brother’s wedding at St. John Bosco Parish and reception at Acacia Hotel Manila. And since I already informed the PEPPs people ahead of time, I just promised to blog about the special event.

The launch also coincided with the Official Send-Off of Mister Tourism International Philippines 2014 Judah Cohen for Mister Tourism International 2015 which will be hosted in Panama City come August. His fellow title holders – Mister International 2014/15 Neil Perez, Mister Global Philippines 2014 Joseph Doruelo, 1st Runner-Up Nicko Cruz – were around to give him words of encouragement for the upcoming competition. Mister International 2013 Jose Anmer Paredes was also present to add his message for Judah.

“I am a bit disappointed about the delay,but under no circumstances have I been discouraged. I take the extra time to prepare as a blessing.” said Judah

Back to Misters 2015, the country’s premier male pageant will have its finals on September 13 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Resorts World Manila – the same venue for the 10th Mister International on November 28. This early, the screenings (which will start on July 5 at the PEPPs office* in the City of San Juan) are expected to attract a good number of enlisters, with majority of the representatives of Filipino Communities abroad already in place and just waiting for their scheduled trips to Manila by the 3rd week of August.

Misters 2015: The Misters of Pilipinas Search is co-presented by Prime Event Productions Philippines Foundation Inc.(PEPPs) and Teceruma Spa & Salon of John and Tessie Herbst (in photo below with the Misters).

Watch out for this blog’s coverage of the male pageant! 😉

* – Screenings will be held at the office of PEPPs in F. Manalo cor. San Luis St., City of San Juan on July 5.
