After the dazzling ladies of Miss Earth 2012 had their competition in Versailles, Alabang where Ms. Czech Republic Tereza Fajksova won the crown, pageant fans were atuned with Mr. World 2013. Surely, the male counterpart pageant of Miss World which is also helmed by Julia Morley is not as popular as it is but for pageant fanatics alike, it is something they look forward to.

For this year, there are 48 entrants, and Philippines nonetheless is included. Cory Quirino, National Director of the Mr/Ms. World pageant didn't have a competition held for Mr. World Philippines, instead they sent Andrew James Wolff, 27, a businessman and a member of the Philippine Volcanoes.

The finals of the Mr. World 2013 was held November 24, 7PM England Time (3 AM Manila time). Mr. World 2010 Kamal Ibrahim crowned Colombia's Francisco Escobar as Mr. World 2013. Our very own Andrew Wolff was 1st Runner Up while rounding up the Top 3 is Ireland's Leo Delaney (2nd Runner Up).
