Mr. Gay World Philippines Organization

Mr. Gay World Philippines Organization is a non-profit organization that holds a national contest for Filipino delegates for Mr. Gay World. Wilbert Ting Tolentino was given the license to be the newest national director in January 2016. Christian Lacsamana was the first Filipino delegate appointed by Wilbert Ting Tolentino to represent the Philippines in Malta, on April 2016. He was second runner up, the first Filipino to make it that far.

Its mission is to 'modernize' the popular image of gay men and eradicate stereotypes from public perception. This will bridge the gap between 'people like us' from the 'others'; and to combat sexual prejudice for human equality and to continue the efforts for HIV/AIDS Early Detection Program and erase the stigma of testing and the disease. In the future, through this pageant, it will use its influence for the immediate advancement of HIV/AIDS treatment and research, and use its victors to be the voice of any medical breakthrough.[1]

Logo[2]
