The beautiful candidates then visited the breath-taking province of Kalinga and Apayao for the Cultural Night, Swimwear shoot and competition front lining the famous tattoo artist, Apo Whang Od. Consequently, they had their motorcade parade, closed door interview, and Gala night in Baguio City.
Happened on June 18, 2022 at Baguio Convention Center, the 22 delegates blazed the stage as they represented their countries with their pride of walk. It started with a presentation of the delegates wearing bahag while dancing the “tayaw” dance of the Cordillera.

As the crown represents glory, honor, and sovereignty also manifests the dominance of this event to make everything possible despite the exhausting preparations and negativities enveloped in the said pageantry. Nonetheless, as the king wakes up from the land of his own also thrives to break the stigma surrounding the issue of male pageantry- then conquers to raise the flag of masculinity with responsibility.
Together we say congratulations to everyone who took part in the event, won the awards, and those who are behind the success of the Man of the World 2022, 4rth Edition.
