The 27 aspirants who will vie for the seven titles at stake include Filipino overseas representatives Jam Acero of Australia, Franc Canson of Italy and Jeremiah Nicolas of Melbourne. The titles are Mister International Philippines, Manhunt International Philippines, Mister Globe Philippines, Man of the World Philippines, Man of the Year Philippines, Mister Southeast Asian Philippines and the newest addition Mister Supranational Philippines.
