Jose Antonio Calle of Spain was named Mister International 2023 by The MI Organization on Friday night, October 20th, in Baguio City. He succeeded Lukanand Kshetrimayum, the 2022 winner of the Philippine-based pageant.
Austin Cabatana of the Philippines was named first runner-up. He might have won the title if not for the nerves during every Q&A.
While the translation app on the cellphone they used to translate Argentina and Spain’s final interview failed, Austin delivered his answer very nervously he was almost crying.
After the final Q&A where the contestants answered a common question, Jamaica was my choice for the title. He, however, ended 2nd runner-up. Not bad, though.
