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.
Dom Corilla's win as Mister Global 2024 marks the Philippines' first international title under the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide Organization.[3] It was followed by Kirk Bondad's victory as Mister International 2025 the following year after. In 2026, John Eriq Bonifacio clinched the Philippines' first Mister Cosmopolitan title.
The organization is under the leadership of Dom Corilla, Mister Global 2024; Joshua de Sequera, Manhunt International 2022 1st Runner-Up; and Kenneth Cabungcal, Mister Supranational 2025 4th Runner-Up.
