Victory in Thailand: Kirk Bondad Crowned Mister International 2025
KIRK BONDAD – Filipino-German model Kirk Bondad proved his charisma and advocacy on the global stage, winning the Mister International 2025 crown for the Philippines.
Kirk Bondad made the Philippines proud after earning the Mister International 2025 crown, surpassing 40 contestants from different parts of the world. The grand coronation was held on Thursday, September 25, at MCC Hall in Bangkok, Thailand.
This latest achievement further cements the Philippines’ strong reputation in international beauty pageants. Bondad stood out with his charm, stage presence, and advocacies, making his triumph a moment of pride for many Filipinos. Lebanon’s Saadedine Hneineh was named first runner-up, while South Korea’s Choi Seung Ho finished as second runner-up.
A key highlight of the night was the Question and Answer round, where Bondad addressed the question: “If you win Mr. International and you are invited to speak at the United Nations what one social or political issue would you choose to highlight and why?” His answer emphasized his advocacy for children’s rights and education.
“Thank you for the question if I would have to honor, I would cause, that the children that we need to protect them and I would give them a chance, to give them more protection and cultivate education because today’s children will be tomorrow’s leaders because ultimately, I believe if we can collectively do the right decisions even in small steps we will do a big impact internationally,” Bondad said.
Earlier in the competition, Bondad also earned a place in the Top 3 of the People’s Choice award, as confirmed by Mister Pilipinas Worldwide. His strong fan support was evident both online and during the live event.
In the National Costume showcase, Bondad wore a creation titled “Perlas Celestia,” described as “a perfect representation of the Philippines as the Pearl of the Orient Seas.” The outfit highlighted the country’s heritage and identity, adding to his strong performance.
Before this victory, Bondad had already represented the Philippines at Mr. World 2024, where he placed in the Top 20. His consecutive appearances on the global stage reflect not only his dedication to the craft but also his determination to embody the Filipino spirit in international pageantry.
