Mister International 2009 Bruno Kettels to judge G. Filipinas 2010

[A MYKIRU EXCLUSIVE]


Bolivian Mister International 2009 titleholder Bruno Kettels is coming to Manila, Philippines to judge in Ginoong Filipinas 2010 pageant.


Bruno and Mister International / Mister Singapore Organization President Alan Sim will arrive in the country on Wednesday afternoon, then grace the finals of G. Filipinas 2010 happening on the evening.


Mr. Alan himself shared to Mykiru that Bruno will also attend the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2010 the next day.


Maybe you're wondering why they're gracing the G. Filipinas 2010 when it's not the local pageant of Mister International.


Here's the scoop: Mike Lim, the organizer of Mister International Philippines 2008 & 2009, already gave up the license to hold the pageant early this year and there's a big possibility that Ginoong Filipinas organizer will be the new license holder.


Mykiru texted Mike Lim about his reason of giving up the license and here's his reply: "After doing it for 2 years, I have decided to devote my spare time to travelling the world, which happens to be one of my passions."


He said he's gonna travel either in the US or Europe by September or October, which he missed doing in the last two years.


Mr. Alan Sim meanwhile has confirmed to Mykiru via e-mail that there's indeed a new license holder, but he did not disclose who. "Mike has done a fantastic job and we are sad to see him go. We have a new licensee for the Philippines and we will make an announcement soon."


The organizer of G. Filipinas is also mum about it. In a short text message, the secretariat committee denied they're the new franchisee holder, "No. We're not connected with Mr. International".


Maybe nothing is final yet, but the fact that Bruno and Alan will be gracing the Ginoo pageant is already a big indication.
