Misters of Filipinas (MOF) has recently released a list of its official candidates for the 2025 edition. Aside from the winners of its franchises, half of the candidates were chosen from the series of screenings that were held earlier this month.

All of the candidates are goodlooking, but Puerto Princesa’s Oliver Eugen Kretz stands out and is an early favorite. He’s a Filipino-German model and during the presentation of official candidates, he looked so confident in showing off his well-built physique.

Cavite’s Kristzan Karlo Delos Santos, meanwhile, isn’t new to pageantry. He already had an international pageant experience when he represented the Philippines in Mister Grand International in 2022, and he had a first runner-up finish.

My personal favorite, however, is Lipa City’s Marck Marasigan. He reminds me of last year’s Miko Santos who was crowned Mister Teenager Universe Philippines.

One of the wildcards is Steve Marquez who is a well-known bikini open model. I guess he’s trying to replicate the success of Denver Argana who was crowned Mister Fitness Supermodel World PH last year? That is, if Steve becomes an official candidate.
