MANILA (UPDATE)—Jack Heslewood of England was named Mister World 2019 on Friday, besting 71 other international delegates at the pageant night held at Araneta Coliseum.

Heslewood, who was also a top-five candidate in the pageant’s Top Model category, succeeds Rohit Khandelwal of India, who won Mister World in 2016.

Heslewood edged runners-up Fezile Mkhize of South Africa and Brian Arturo Gonzalez of Mexico.

Completing the Top 5 were the representatives of Brazil, Carlos Wilton Franco, and Dominican Republic, Alejandro Martinez.

The Philippines’ Jody Baines Saliba, meanwhile, settled for a top-12 finish, but as expected earned the biggest cheers from his countrymen inside the Quezon City venue.
