Mister Philippines 2014 will be named this Saturday, January 18, at the finale competition to be held at Resorts World Manila’s Newport Performing Arts Theater. As a tradition, we select our own choices, based on our own standards of beauty, a day before the judges even select that ultimate winner who will go home triumphant on the final night.

While we don’t want the difficult task of a judge, we are willing to sit on a judge’s shoes once more, at least for the Mister International 2014 pageant.

Think of the cash prize, the title, the media attention and the bragging right. These are included in the perks of being declared the most prized victor of the night. But being a crowd favorite is one beautiful thing as well. So hopefuls should consider us a crowd. And below are our favorites.

From the 25 contenders, we stretched our muscles and burned a lot of brain cells to select our eventual winners. We promised to select the Top 10 contenders on our previous posts so we are making a list of 10 names here. That is after brushing off the idea that we can actually name one winner right now. Considering the margin of error however, we decided to name three hunks who would likely to win the pageant. They’re Onakee Dela Cruz, Marlon Aedrian Lopez and Ethan Smith. We have to remember though that nothing is final unless it was announced so consider this post just our own selfish opinion. You may agree or disagree in the comments box below.

1. Onakee Dela Cruz, 22, Filipino Community Australia
