Juul Missiaen represented Spain at Man of the World 2025 and competed against 26 other candidates at the SM Skydome in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines on May 31, 2025. He won the title.
Runner-up to Missiaen was Israel Sierra of Mexico. The respective second, third and fourth runners-up were Sittichok Panitloedtewa of Thailand, Honza Jiránek of the Czech Republic and Sworman Delgado of Panama.
Man of the World 2026 predictions
On May 30, 2026, Missiaen attended the Man of the World 2026 national costume competition at the Palacio de Maynila in Malate, Manila, Metro Manila. Prime Events Productions Philippines Foundation Inc. (PEPPS) president Carlo Morris Galang also graced the event.
On June 4, 2026, Missiaen served as a judge at the preliminary competition, which had three segments namely the fashion show, the swimsuit competition and the formal wear competition. During the event, Galang revealed to CONAN Daily exclusively that during the coronation ceremony, the audience will see the scores of the candidates live.
On June 6, 2026, Missiaen will go back to the Palacio de Maynila to crown his successor. It is the eighth edition of the international beauty pageant based in San Juan, Metro Manila and owned by PEPPS.
A total of 28 men are competing for the Man of the World 2026 crown. I believe these will be the semifinalists and finalists:
