The Philippines continues to cement its position as a pageant powerhouse, with another representative delivering an impressive performance.

Kenneth Stromsnes finished as second runner-up in the recently concluded Manhunt International 2024 in Ayutthaya, Thailand.

He also won Best in Personality, and was one of the winners of the Chat Influencer award.

"We made it, Philippines! We're second runner-up here in Manhunt International. Thank you so much," Stromsnes said in a video posted by Mister Pilipinas Worldwide, which sent him as the country's delegate this year.

Thailand's Kevin Dasom was proclaimed Manhunt International 2024, with the rest of the runners-up coming from France, Venezuela, and Italy.
