8 Winners Crowned as Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2026 Adds Surprise Title
MANDALUYONG CITY, Philippines — Eight titleholders were crowned at the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2026 finals on Wednesday night, April 15, after organizers introduced an additional title during the competition.
Originally set to award only seven titles, the pageant expanded its roster due to what organizers described as a strong and competitive batch of candidates this year.
John Wayne Alba, representing Calamba, Laguna, emerged as one of the top winners and is set to represent the Philippines at the Mister International competition in Thailand later this year.
Other newly crowned titleholders include Felipe Marasigan (Mister Pilipinas-Supranational), MJ Ordillano (Mister Pilipinas-Global), JP Gundayao (Mister Pilipinas-Manhunt Supermodel), Godfrey Murillo (Mister Pilipinas-Eco International), and John Bonifacio (Mister Pilipinas-Cosmopolitan).
A newly created title was also introduced and awarded to Jason Lopez, who will serve as an ambassador for performing arts and entertainment worldwide.
Meanwhile, the surprise addition of the “Mister Pilipinas 2026” title went to returning candidate Enzo Bonoan of Quezon City.
Rounding out the winners were Zach Russell as first runner-up, Gian Guidicelli as second runner-up, and Cas Villones as third runner-up.
This year’s edition marks the first under a new leadership team composed of former titleholders, led by Mister Global 2024 Dom Corilla.
The new batch of winners is expected to continue the country’s strong performance in international male pageants, following a streak of placements and victories in recent years.
