He's now with Paolo Ballesteros!

The two are hosts of rival noontime shows. Vice is with It's Showtime and Paolo is with EAT. The "rivalry" is even featured in the commercial's script.

And while they are noontime rivals, McDo put them together in one TVC, which can be "served" to both madlang pipol and dabarkads.

India wins Mister Global 2023

Mister Global crowned a new winner on Sunday, November 26th, in Thailand. Out of almost forty contestants feom around the world, India's delegate Jason Dylan Bretfelean emerged as the winner.

Jason Dylan succeeded Mister Global 2022 Juan Carlos Ariosa of Cuba.

It's interesting to note that despite the pageant being held in Thailand, and despite the owner being Thai, the host delegate didn't make the first cut (Top 20).

I'm also sad for Mister Brazil, who, despite looking so handsome, also suffered the same fate.

Hong Kong's Oliver Cheung had a first runner-up finish, while Chile's very charming delegate, Alvaro Flores Carvajal, was second runner-up.

Making it to the Top 5 were Misters Vietnam and Taiwan.

Top 10 also had Mexico, Dominican Republic, Korea, South Africa, and Ecuador.

The first cut (Top 15) also included representatives from Myanmar, Nigeria, Switzerland, Panama, and the Philippines.
