Mister Pilipinas Worldwide (commonly abbreviated as MPW) is a male beauty pageant and organization that selects the Philippines' official representatives to major international pageants such as Mister Supranational, Mister International, Mister Global, and Manhunt International, and other international competitions such as Mister Eco International, Mister Cosmopolitan, and Man of the Year.[1]
History
Empire Philippines, franchise owner of Miss Universe Philippines, launched Mister Pilipinas Worldwide (MPW), holding its inaugural edition on May 6, 2023. Empire intended the MPW as a consolidation of three pageants—Mister Supranational Philippines, Mister Global Philippines, and Manhunt International Philippines, doing away with the need to hold separate pageants to determine the Philippine representatives to the international counterparts of the three competitions.[2] The pageant would also serve as a qualifier for other international competitions whose franchises have been acquired by Empire Philippines and the MPW organization.
The first international title won by the Philippines under the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide Organization is Dom Corilla's victory as Mister Global 2024.
The organization is under the national directorship of Joshua de Sequera, Manhunt Philippines 2022 and Manhunt International 2022 1st Runner-Up.
