FORMAT
Based on the finals night I've personally watched, aside from being charmingly cultured and a good role model, being a good speaker was an important factor in this pageant. Obviously, in terms of public speaking, MR NEPAL and MR MYANMAR had the best performances both in the casual interview and speech portion.
The pageant started with a parade of the candidates in their Ilocano abel-inspired barong, followed by the swimwear competition, formal wear round, speech, casual interview then the question and answer portion.
SOME HIGHLIGHTS
Aside the Philippines' Kian Sumague, MR THAILAND was a Filipino crowd favorite. He got an ample support from the Ilocano audience.
MR PHILIPPINES, during his speech, said that the support he was getting from fellow Filipinos made him felt like he was a real man. When asked what hashtag he'd be using for this particular event, he chose #Unity. MR THAILAND on the other hand highlighted Bangkok and Chang Mai as the most popular tourist attraction in his country during the casual interview and he promised to study English harder if he wins Mister Tourism World. MR INDONESIA took pride of the beaches and islands in his country being the largest archipelago in the world.
MR GHANA was the only delegate in color and the only one from Africa but he stunned the crowd with oozing hotness in his well-built physique during the swimwear round.
