For the past few weeks, your blogger has turned into "male" pageantry through Misters The Pageant.

Prime Event Productions Philippines Foundation Inc. (PEPPs), franchise holder of Mister International, Manhunt International and Man of the Year Philippines has been supportive to what your blogger has found good to write. The reigning winners: Don Cochico (Manhunt Int'l PH), Karan (Man of the Year PH) and AR (1st RU) had all been friendly (and your blogger thinks it would be easy to work with them personally).

Your blogger is grateful for PEPPs: Sir Jhune Salud, Sir Carlo Morris Galang, Mam Marianne Galang, Sir Dan Apacible, the winners circle of PEPPs for the last 2 years: Sir Neil Perez, Nicko Cruz, AR Dela Serna, Karan Singhdole, Don Cochico. Looking forward to more activities leading through Misters 2016. Your blogger does not call blogging as a career rather as a way of supporting advocacies - something PEPPs always had a strong stand for.

A fiercer Nichole Marie Manalo made it to the Official List of Candidates this year.

The photo above, one of Nichole's latest shows how the youngest Manalo had improved for the better, with the hopes of finally landing a Bb. Pilipinas crown.

She already made it to the Top 15 in the 2014 Nationals and with this year being her last chance, Nichole may probably had a few aces on her sleeves, something for sure we had not seen for a long time.

And I'm sure her Ate Katherine and Ate Bianca would be really proud of her. Bb. Pilipinas 2016 , Nichole Manalo , Road to Bb. Pilipinas 2016

After a string of resignations left and right of the Misters 2015 winners to which your blogger would not go into detail, placements and who will crown whom has already been finalized with the pageant franchises of PEPPS:

Mister International 2014 Neil Perez will be on hand to crown the Mister International Philippines 2016 which would happen later this year. Rein Villareal, Mister International Philippines 2015 and Mister International 2015 Top 10 Finalist has tendered his resignation with PEPPS and joined the group of Gentlemen of the Philippines.

Manhunt International and Man of the Year are two other pageant franchises under Prime Event Productions Philippines Foundation, with Don McGyver Cochico and Karan Singhdole expected to compete this year. They would also crown their respective successors in the 2016 Pageant.

AR Dela Serna who was promoted to 2nd Runner Up assumes the 1st Runner Up title vacated by Kevin Fichera, who also jumped ship to Gentlemen of the Philippines. AR, Don McGyver and Karan make up this year's PEPPS reigning winners.
