Meet model John Raspado, the first Filipino to ever be crowned the winner of Mr Gay World — and it’s not difficult to see why.
Over 40 men from around the world competed this year, with Candido Arteaga (Spain), Raf Van Puymbroeck (Belgium), Marco Tornese (Switzerland), and Alexander Steyn (South Africa) being the four runners up.

“Thank you to the people behind MGWPO (Mr. Gay World Philippines),” Raspado said, “especially to Wilbert Tolentino, for always guiding me on my journey to success and to those who helped me backstage and my fellow candidates. Especially the delegates of Belgium and Venezuela, who were my roommates.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

The organizers added:
“Big Congratulations to John Fernandez Raspado for giving honor to our country and for winning Best in Swimwear, Best in Formal Wear, Mr. Gay World Closed Door Interview, Mr. Online Vote, Mr. Social Media special awards in Maspalomas, Spain.”

The sailor pic is nice. Nummy!
I’m not into the high hair and tattoos but I know how popular these are, so I’ll give that to him.
I’d like to hear his deep sexy voice (I hope)

Cute, but he’s got those really low placed nipples, which an ex of mine also has, not a good? thing imo.
John
I wouldn’t say he’s gorgeous. He’s just ok. I’m curious who the other nominees were.

The South African is OK – the rest – – not so much

Many countries have conquered The Phillipines because of its strategic place in the world, so the people have physical qualities of Spain, Asia, America, other European countries, etc. And I happen to like low placed nipples, if the pecs are huge (can’t believe I said that).
John
“Gorgeous”? debateable. Handsome? yes.
Who were the other contenders? We all have our own definition of “gorgeous”.

You can have that poofed hair but I’d take the rest of him!
