The first edition of Mister Grand
International pageant, with some 35 contestants from around the world, kicks
off on September 28 and will culminate in the finals set on October 6 at the Covernarium, Crossroad
77, Mother Ignacia St., Quezon City.
The newest international male pageant,
owned and produced by Mister Grand International Pageant, Inc., headed by
president & CEO Mark Gil Balisacan, deviates from the usual male beauty
pageants as its aims to focus on the value of sports and will showcase the most
popular native sports of each candidate.
Ginoong Laguna 2017 Joshua Reginald
Banatin, a 22-year-old, 5-foot-10, BS Tourism graduate of Laguna State Polytechnic
University, earned the right to represent the country as one of the six
titlists in the 2017 Mister Philippines pageant held earlier this year. Banatin,
while playing hosts to the rest of the delegates, said he would do his best to
give the other candidates a run for their money.

second international male pageant to be held in the country, after the
inaugural Man of the World, sets its eyes in men who are athletic and
sports-minded requiring skills to be competitive in nature, at any given
sports. The pageant promotes “Camaraderie and Competitiveness” as its main
theme highlighted during the pre-pageant activities which also include the
swimwear, formal wear and interview competition. Words Eton B. Concepcion
