Man of the World 2017 named Mostafa Galal Mohammed Elezali of Egypt as its winner on Friday night, July 28, 2017. He bested 27 other men during the coronation night that was held at One Esplanade in Pasay City.
This is the 1st edition of Man of the World, and Mostafa will, from now on, always be remembered as the 1st ever winner of the pageant.
Named 1st runner-up was Vietnam’s Nguyen Huu Long, while 2nd runner-up was Palestine’s Abou Sahyoun Wassim.
The Top 3 answered a common final question – Why should you win Man of the World 2017? The other 2 contestants was brought backstage and had headphones attached to their ears so that they wouldn’t hear the question while the 1st one (in this case, Palestine) was being interviewed.
Palestine answered he should win because he has worked hard to get himself to that stage.
Vietnam, meanwhile, had an interpreter. To the question, he answered that his confidence and education should make him win.
Egypt, on the other hand, enumerated some qualities that the Man of the World winner should have – he should be a man of his word, humble, simple and has to have belief in oneself, not to mention be an inspiration to others.
