# Mister International (Philippines)

Mister International is an annual international male beauty pageant founded in 2006 by Singaporean Alan Sim. Following Sim's death on October 12, 2022, the organization split, leading to two separate groups using the Mister International title. One of these groups is the Mister International Organization (MIO) pageant which has set its headquarters in the Philippines.
The current titleholder, Francisco Zafra Mister International 2024 from Spain, was crowned on November 10, 2024, in Toledo, Cebu, Philippines. He succeeded Mister International 2023, Jose Calle, also from Spain, marking a back-to-back victory for his country.

## History
### Background

The male beauty pageant was established in 2006 by Alan Sim, who passed away on October 12, 2022. After his death, two organizations split and began using the same title. One organization is based in Thailand, led by Pradit Pradinunt, and the other is based in the Philippines, led by Manuel Deldio. The first runner-up of Mister International 2022, Lukanand Kshetrimayum from India, has been appointed as the new managing director of the Philippines-based Mister International Organization.

### Split

Over time, it split into two separate events: Mister International (based in Thailand) and Mister International (based in the Philippines), both of which are still active today. Despite being distinct competitions, the Philippines-based pageant recognizes and maintains the past winners of the original pageant. On September 17, 2023, Kim Goodburn claimed victory in the 15th Mister International competition held at the Crystal Design Center Ballroom in Khwaeng Khlong Chan, Bangkok, Thailand. Just a month later, on October 20, 2023, Spain's Jose Calle won the same title at the Cordillera Convention Center in Baguio Country Club, Baguio City, Philippines.
In the following year with the new organization, Spain claimed its back-to-back victory at the 16th edition as Francisco Zafra from Spain was crowned Mister International 2024 on November 10, 2024, in Toledo City, Cebu, Philippines. He succeeded Jose Calle, Mister International 2023, also from Spain.
