00:00Now, we're going to meet the new faces of Mr. Tourism World Philippines 2024

00:06where they are promoting the masculinity, inner beauty, and culture of the Philippines.

00:11That's why we'll be joined live here in the studio

00:15by the winner of Mr. Tourism World Philippines 2024,

00:18Sandro Cordova, Mark Marasigan, and Alvin Etang Catulin.

00:23Good morning and welcome back to Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:26Congratulations, of course.

00:29Congratulations.

00:31Can you tell us about your feelings when you were announced that you won Mr. Tourism?

00:38It was actually mixed feelings during the coronation night

00:40because this is the very first edition for Mr. Tourism World Philippines.

00:44We actually aim to promote sustainable tourism,

00:46protection for biodiversity, and cultural understanding.

00:50So, by having this kind of competition,

00:53we are building connection from different regions.

00:56And that only means that we are promoting safe travels for everyone.

01:00And by simply edifying people about sustainable tourism,

01:06this is actually one way or a big help for those who are actually in the provinces

01:11who wanted to be promoted as well.

01:14So, yeah, I think every one of us has the advocacy

01:18and has properly represented our provinces, I think.

01:23How about you, Mark?

01:25How do you feel?

01:27At the same time, I feel so grateful and blessed

01:30to be the first runner-up of Mr. Tourism World Philippines

01:33since it is my second national pageant.

01:35And I have learned so much from this pageant.

01:39We build brotherhood with other candidates.

01:41And I think that was the most experience that I will treasure every single day of my life.

01:45How about Alvin?

01:47How was the experience?

01:49It really feels surreal and a dream come true.

01:53It's my first national pageant and I didn't expect anything.

01:57I just went there to bring the narrative about my beloved city,

02:02which is misconceived as Cagayan de Oro.

02:07This is for Sandro.

02:08As a grand winner,

02:10what is your first plan as a historian and to promote tourism further?

02:18First thing is I really have to prepare mentally and physically

02:22because the international competition is coming up really soon.

02:25When?

02:26November 4 to November 16.

02:29That will be in Vietnam.

02:33I'm really excited to do this and that is to travel each and every region in the Philippines.

02:39We are planning to promote the advocacy of the organization itself,

02:44which is sustainable tourism, cultural understanding, and protection for biodiversity.

02:50I hope that many people will continue to support this platform.

02:58This is actually a great platform.

02:59It's very relevant nowadays because of what's going on with our community.

03:06That's one thing that we want to pursue.

03:09I hope that everyone can support us in protecting our Mother Earth as well.

03:16Let's go to Mark and Alvin again.

03:18I wonder what you learned in participating in this pageant?

03:24Actually, there's a lot of things to learn in this pageant.

03:37In this entire competition, I have learned so many things such as brotherhood.

03:44Because during the competition, we don't have a manager and a makeup artist backstage.

03:50And during that time, we candidate all the makeup artists to do our own makeup.

03:55It's like looking after each other.

03:58We really have a brotherhood where we are helping each other,

04:02fixing clothes, and doing our own makeup.

04:04So it was just a great experience.

04:07It's true, the brotherhood and friendship that you will keep even after the pageant.

04:13How about you, Alvin?

04:14Yeah, I agree with what Mark had said.

04:17We really learned brotherhood here in the competition.

04:20Aside from the fact that this platform has given us the opportunity to promote our beloved city,

04:25it also helped us to gain connections with them, with our co-candidates.

04:30And that is very special to us.

04:31Sandro, when it comes to international competitions, what kind of advocacy do you bring there?

04:37Yeah, I'm actually promoting sustainable tourism.

04:39We have been practicing sustainable tourism in my province.

04:42And I hope that we can widen our horizon or widen our scope

04:47in terms of promoting sustainable tourism,

04:50which is using green architectures such as green walk trails and bike lanes.

04:59Those are simple things that we can really promote

05:03and encourage other people to actually do so in each and every provinces.

05:09Because if this is the kind of tourism that we are promoting,

05:14it will have less effect on the environment.

05:17And at the same time, we will enhance the experience of the people.

05:22I wonder, what else do you do aside from this pageant?

05:30What do you do?

05:31I'm actually a student, a tourism student.

05:33And I do modeling as a part-time.

05:36So you're still a student?

05:37Yes, I'm a third-year college in tourism management.

05:40Okay, how about you?

05:41I'm currently working as a student affairs officer at iAcademy.

05:45Okay, so you're in the academy?

05:47Yes.

05:49Alright, please invite the audience, you, Sandro,

05:53to support you in the upcoming competitions.

05:57Yes, for the upcoming competitions that will be on November 4 to 16,

06:01I am inviting everyone to please do support my journey.

06:05And I hope that we can help more people

06:08and we can educate more people about sustainable tourism.

06:14And yeah, I'd like also to thank Madam Serena de Britania,

06:19the founder of Tourism World,

06:22and my national director, Sir Apollo Smith for Mr. Tourism World Philippines.

06:27Okay, good luck!

06:30Thank you very much for joining us on this Tuesday morning.

06:34Once again, Sandro, Mark, and Alvin, our Mr. World Tourism 2024.
