Now some of you might ask – what makes Gentlemen of the Philippines – made up of Rein Villareal, Arcel Yambing, Willan Pagayon, Jolo Dayrit and Rick Kristoffer Palencia plus Kevin Fichera – different from the other national male pageants out there? Their advocacies.

Of course, there are also other areas that need to be given importance, such as Tourism & Culture, Youth Affairs, Health & Wellness and Fashion & Style. These are sub-par concerns that will be equally distributed among the winners depending on their respective assignments abroad.
After the media launch, GCI – through the pageant’s Facebook page – will start accepting online applications for Gentlemen of the Philippines. The qualifications are as follows:
Aged 18-27 years; with a minimum height of 5’10”; Strictly with Filipino lineage; Preferably but not strictly College graduate or College level; can express himself adequately in English; with a physically fit body; and most importantly, ready and willing to learn and take on the stated advocacies of the organization

Gentlemen of the Philippines – more than good looks. 🙂
There is a strong friendship between Gentlemen of the Philippines and IMP (Indonesia Male Pageants)
Media Invite for the Launch
At the same time, Gentlemen Charities Incorporated (GCI) will have special guests flying in all the way from Jakarta, Indonesia. They are the Founder of Indonesian Male Pageants (IMP) Edin Muhammad and his titleholders – Mister Universal Ambassador 2015 Christian Daniel Ortiz of Puerto Rico, Mister Indonesia 2015 Damian Ronny and Mister Teen Indonesia 2015 Tandi Islami.
The event is going to be memorable for both Gentlemen Charities Incorporated and Indonesian Male Pageants Association because it signals the strong friendship between the two, forged by the close ties of both its founders – Precious Anne Medina and Edin Muhammad. And it will definitely grow even stronger after the said launch.

The competition will be a nationwide search for the next representatives to Mister Model International 2016 in New Delhi, India by August, Mister Tourism International 2017 in Panama City next year, Mister Universal Ambassador 2016 in Bali, Indonesia by September, Mister Worldwide Competition 2016 in Orlando, Florida by December and the inaugural edition of Mister Tourism World in Bali, Indonesia in November.
Screening of candidates will take place from March to April, with Pre-Pageant activities scheduled by late May up to the actual competition period of June 19-25, 2016.
Just last week, the high-fashion photoshoot of the reigning Gentlemen was held at the Ablaza Mansion in New Manila under the masterful photography of Cebu-based Russian lensman Artem Levy, Creative Stylist Domz Ramos, HMUA Dennis Santos, Videographer Joman Radaza and the over-all coordination of Montreal-based Michael Davantes. The handsome men wore the designs of Edwin Uy, Adam Balasa & Pegarto Clothing – with accessories by Jun-Jun Ablaza – for the shoot. The final photos will be released soon.
The Grand Launch of Gentlemen of the Philippines will happen late this month

It was an afternoon well-spent earlier in the day for the Gentlemen of the Philippines after Mister Tourism International Philippines 2015 Willan Pagayon and Reniel Villareal (who represented the country and placed in the Top 10 of Mister International 2015 last November) decided to pool their birthday party resources and threw a happy charity event for the kids of Barangay 51 in PNR Dagupan, Tondo, Manila instead of setting a more private celebration with friends in a bar or restaurant. And together with Mister Model International Philippines 2015 Arcel Yambing, the three guys went all-out in sharing their time and individual fun spirits to bring laughter, games and food to the young ones from as young as 2 to 12, with even some mothers and grandmothers joining in the festive atmosphere.
It was indeed heartwarming to see the smiles in the faces of the kids who enjoyed playing a variety of parlor games and feasting on delicious food sponsored by Mommy Chit Cano Navajas, actress Nadia Montenegro and Mary Ann of 2Go Hub at Kilometer 0. Host Dodj Mallari gamely navigated all the fun activities and even participated in some of them.
But the focus was definitely on the three Gentlemen who filled in the roles of Big Brothers to all attendees and showed even bigger hearts in giving more than their time and money to make the charity-cum-celebratory event more special.
Smiles and cheers everywhere for all these young ones (Photo credit: Joy Arguil)
More power to Gentlemen of the Philippines! 😀

It was a successful event all around, the Thanksgiving Party for Arcel Yambing and Judah Cohen, that is. (Photo credit: Joy Arguil)
Last night, the Thanksgiving Party for Mister Model International Philippines 2015 Arcel Yambing and Mister Tourism International Philippines 2014 Judah Jyreh Cohen was held at the Tesoro Terraz Sky Lounge of La Verti Residences in Pasay City. The event was successfully staged with members of the media covering the event. What made it more special was the presence of Madam Preciousa Anna Medina who is now at the helm of the soon-to-be-launched Gentlemen of the Philippines and Luis Trujillo of Tim Management which runs Mister Model International and Mister Dominican Republic. In addition, the National Directors of Myanmar and Australia also graced the occasion, along with generous sponsors and friends from the talent management industry.
It was especially more memorable for Arcel Yambing who placed Top 6 and won both Most Photogenic and Mister Congeniality during Mister Model International 2015 in Miami and Judah Cohen who managed a Top 3 placement and the Best International Look title from Mister Tourism International 2015 in Panama City.
Prizes were raffled off, including two (2) trips for two to Boracay won by Vin Ello and Raffy Aquino. But the more exciting part was the Open Mic session where intriguing questions were asked and answered about the future launch of the newest national male pageant in the country, Gentlemen of the Philippines 2016 which will blogged about more extensively in the next month or so before being officially introduced to the general public come late January, 2016.
From all of us here at normannorman.com, here’s to Arcel Yambing, Judah Cohen, Mister Tourism International Philippines 2015 Willan Pagayon, Rick Kristoffer Palencia, Mister Worldwide Philippines 2015 Jolo Dayrit and the Gentlemen of the Philippines!
