Man of the World Philippines 2017
Christopher Comicho Dulagan, who is presently part of the Philippine National
Police (PNP) Aviation Security Group, in NAIA Terminal 1, will vie at the first
edition of the Man of the World pageant, with some 40 candidates from all over
the world at the finals to be held at One Esplanade, Mall of Asia Complex, in
Pasay City on July 28, 2017.
Dulagan, a 23-year-old, native of
Mountain Province, is the third policeman to compete in an international male
pageant after Police Officers Mariano Flormata, Jr., winner of Mr.
International 2014 and Don Mcgyver Cochico, a Top 16 semi-finalist at the Manhunt
International 2016 pageant. “I am so excited and proud to represent the country
in the first ever Man of the World contest,” said the policeman who was
discovered while bringing a snatcher in a precinct in Plaza Miranda, Quiapo.
Man of the World 2017 is the newest
male pageant in the world presented by Prime Event Productions Philippines
Foundation, Inc. (PEPPS). “We are very thankful of the support from various
stakeholders. We promise to make this pageant something we can be proud of with
our main thrust to uplift the male pageantry in the Philippines,” PEPPS
president Carlo Morris Galang said during the send-off party for the country’s
bet. The pageant with its theme “Celebrating Masculinity with Responsibility,”
also aims to focus on its advocacy empowering the youth through education.
Man of the World 2017 has received strong
support from the PNP, Department of Tourism (DOT) and the provincial government
of the Municipality of Negros Oriental, where the candidates are scheduled to
stay on July 21 to 25 for the swimwear and national costume competitions to be
shot in the fine beaches of the province.
The preliminary competition will be
held at the House Manila, Resorts World, Pasay City which includes a Charity
Event to further support the pageant’s advocacy and the Talent competition to
showcase the candidates’ skills. Dulagan
will be wearing national costume and formal wear by highly respected designers Edwin
Uy and Olan Roque. Words by Eton B. Concepcion / Photos by Joy Arguil
