After the dazzling ladies of Miss Earth 2012 had their competition in Versailles, Alabang where Ms. Czech Republic Tereza Fajksova won the crown, pageant fans were atuned with Mr. World 2013. Surely, the male counterpart pageant of Miss World which is also helmed by Julia Morley is not as popular as it is but for pageant fanatics alike, it is something they look forward to.

For this year, there are 48 entrants, and Philippines nonetheless is included. Cory Quirino, National Director of the Mr/Ms. World pageant didn't have a competition held for Mr. World Philippines, instead they sent Andrew James Wolff, 27, a businessman and a member of the Philippine Volcanoes.

The finals of the Mr. World 2012 was held November 24, 7PM England Time (3 AM Manila time). Mr. World 2010 Kamal Ibrahim crowned Colombia's Francisco Escobar as Mr. World 2013. Our very own Andrew Wolff was 1st Runner Up while rounding up the Top 3 is Ireland's Leo Delaney (2nd Runner Up).

Professional Rugby Player and TV personality Andrew Wolff is set to represent the Philippines to the Mr. World 2012 pageant to be held on November 24 in Kent, England.

His name may be familiar because he is a print/TV personality. He also plays for the Philippine Volcanoes.

"My heart is definitely here in the Philippines. I'm a resident of the Philippines, it's true. I've decided to stay in the Philippines to represent it both in Mr. World and the rugby football," he said.

"I assure you I will do the very best I can to represent the Philippines, in the way it should be represented, and hopefully we can come back with [the crown]," Wolff added.

Mr. World is a counterpart of the popular Miss World who had six pageants (including this year's edition) since its maiden pageant in 1996.

Andrew has left Friday to take part of the competition in England.
