All eyes turned to rising star Jordan San Juan during his victory press conference at The Vault, BGC, on June 14, 2025, as he bagged the title of 3rd Runner-Up in the highly competitive pageant, the 23rd Manhunt International Male Supermodel pageant. Jordan took the opportunity to express his heartfelt gratitude to his mentors, supporters, and the Filipino community.
Initially designed for international modeling careers, Manhunt International has shaped the top male models' careers to span multiple continents. Since its launch in 1993, Manhunt International has become a platform for aspiring male supermodels. Beyond the catwalk, it showcases a broad spectrum of male identity and encourages men to express individuality and lead with authenticity.
During the interview, Jordan shared one of the highlights during the pageant by quoting Rosko Dickinson, the President of Manhunt, “He gathered all of us contestants, and we had this talk about how this pageant would change our lives, no matter what happens. Whether we win or lose, we will learn to be better people after that. Because that’s what we will really bring home to ourselves. It will help us grow more and maybe enter another pageant and bring what we have learned in Manhunt.”
More than just a Model
From the provincial spotlight of Bocaue, Bulacan, to the international stage, San Juan has steadily crafted a pageantry narrative. His ascension began in the year 2022 when he claimed the title of Hari ng Singkaban. In October 2023, Jordan stepped onto the national platform of Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2024, representing Bulacan and placing among the Top 6 finalists.
San Juan’s foundation lies in purposeful representation, where he expressly commits to promoting youth empowerment and uplifting provincial tourism. At the age of 23, he crafted himself almost perfectly for male contemporary pageantry by embodying charisma and social consciousness.
With Jordan’s conviction, he championed intelligence and external poise, living proof that he is a forerunner of what it means to be a modern male icon in the world of pageantry.
