Mr. Gay World 2019 is Janjep Carlos from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Mr. Gay World 2019 held on 05 May 2019 in Cape Town, South Africa.

The winners:

Mr Gay World: Philippines🇵🇭 - Janjep Carlos

1st runner-up: Spain🇪🇸 - Francisco Alvarado

2nd runner-up: Hungary🇭🇺 - Oliver Pusztai

3rd runner-up: Thailand🇹🇭 - Chayodhom Samibat

4th runner-up: Belgium🇧🇪 - Nick Van Vooren

Since this annual event started in 2009, this has been the second title from the Philippines after John Fernandez Raspado in 2017, making the Philippines the 3rd country to get 2 titles after South Africa (2010 and 2011) and New Zealand (2012 and 2013), both back to back wins.

Is Miss Curaçao 🇨🇼 Akisha Albert "the lucky charm of the Philippines 🇵🇭"?

Miss Curaçao 🇨🇼 Akisha Albert was considered by some fans as "the lucky charm of the Philippines" in the international (both major and minor) pageant stages just like Olivia Jordan 🇺🇸.

Let's talk about Miss USA 🇺🇸 Olivia Jordan first. When she joined Miss World 2013, Megan Young of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won. Then, when she joined Miss Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won. How about this, Jordan was part of the panel of judges during the 2016 Binibining Pilipinas to select 6 winners to compete in 6 different international (both major and minor) pageant stages such as, Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Supranational, Miss Intercontinental, Miss Grand International and Miss Globe. Luckily/coincidentally, Jordan was the judge tasked to ask the final Q&A to Kylie Verzosa who eventually won Miss International 2016. And take note, among the bunch, Verzosa was the only one took home the crown.

Same thing with Miss Curaçao 🇨🇼 Akisha Albert. When she Joined Miss Earth 2014, Jamie Herrell of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won. When she joined Reina Hispanoamericana 2017, Teresita Marquez of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won. And then she joined Miss Universe 2018, Catriona Gray of the Philippines 🇵🇭 won.

Coincidence? Of course. Lucky charm? Totally!
