History is set to be made as Africa’s and the world’s biggest names in male pageantry gather under one roof.

Mister Supranational, Dr. Fezile Mkhize, and Mister International, Nwajagu Chinemetem Samuel, are set to embark on a journey to the Philippines today. The two most prominent African male models have been invited as special guests for the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide finals.

The highly anticipated event will take place on April 28 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Manila.

Dr. Mkhize and Samuel will be joined by other international pageant winners, including Kevin Dasom, Manhunt International 2024 winner, and Dom Corilla, Mister Global 2024.

The Mister Pilipinas winner will go on to represent the Philippines at Mister Supranational, while the second runner-up will compete at Mister Global. Other top finalists will represent the Philippines at various international pageants, including Mister Eco Tourism, Man of the Year, Cosmopolitan, and Manhunt International.

Dr. Fezile Mkhize, from South Africa, made history last year by becoming the first African to win the Mister Supranational title. Likewise, Nigerian model Nwajagu Chinemetem Samuel also made history by becoming the first African to win the Mister International title.
