Mr. World 2019 contestants have arrived in Manila, Philippines. The pageant takes place on Friday, August 23, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, one of Asia’s largest indoor arenas.
The prestigious competition is set to be the biggest and most successful event in the history of the competition.

In a series of Mr. World challenge events, contestants will test their physical and mental endurance.

Julia Morley, Chairman and CEO of the Miss World Organization, said:
“We are excited to be here in the Philippines with representatives from around the world. Over the next couple of weeks, the contestants will take part in a number of challenges that test the true qualities of a man. We have had such a wonderful welcome from the Filipino people, and we are looking forward to getting to know them better, taste the local food and understand the culture.”
Arnold Vegafria, Mr. World Philippines National Director, said:
“With all the accolades that we have achieved for Miss World Philippines, I feel that it’s time to promote male pageantry as well, and what better way to do this than to have the equally prestigious Mr. World pageant right here in the Philippines! I would like to thank the Mr. World organization for choosing the Philippines as the venue for this year’s pageant. For me, this is a very good way to promote Philippine culture and tourism, because we have so many world-class tourist destinations, aside from the fact that Filipinos are known all over the world for their hospitality.”
Reigning Mr. World, Rohit Khandelwal will be onstage at the finals to crown his successor.
The live event will be broadcast to a global audience. A full list of broadcasters will be published and first-time fans will have the ability to watch the action unfold on pay-per-view on the Mr. World website: www.missworld.com/#/mister
