Misters of Filipinas’ Lloyd Edwardson Figueras is now competing in the inaugural Mister Teenager Universe 2024 pageant, held in Bali, Indonesia, from Feb. 26 to March 2.
Figueras, Mister Laoag 2023, is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing student at Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Dasmariñas. He is also a model, radio broadcasting journalist, and tourism ambassador for his hometown of Laoag City.
Mister Teenager Universe, a world youth competition alongside Miss Teenager Universe, aims to promote the positive impact of youth on the global tourism economy of each participating country.
With 30 countries participating, the competition goes beyond just beauty. Aspirants will participate in various sessions, including International Diplomacy, a Fashion Parade, Personality Interviews, and a Cultural Night, where Figueras will showcase a national costume designed by Amor Albano.
The top three winners will receive cash prizes and bachelor’s degree scholarships from the organization.
“Feeling incredibly blessed and overwhelmed with gratitude,” Figueras said. “I couldn’t have done it without PEPPS unwavering support. I take pride in my hometown, Laoag City, and will continue to inspire other Laoagueños to pursue their dreams.”
Following the historic back-to-back win of reigning king RJ de Vera in Man Hot Star International, Lloyd becomes the second Misters of Filipinas King to compete abroad among this year’s batch of winners.
Celebrating its 11th year, Prime Event Productions Philippines Foundation Inc. (PEPPS) is proud to be the longest-running and leading male pageant in the Philippines.
