Ian Porlayagan, not competing for Mister International 2007

For unknown reasons, the Philippines is not being represented in the ongoing Mister International 2007 in Malaysia.

Enlisted Philippine delegate Ian Leonel Porlayagan is not competing for the title. It's unknown though whether he withdrew in the middle of the competition or he failed to arrive in Malaysia.

Three days before Christmas, I saw him at SM Southmall in Las Pinas City. It was the same day of arrival of Mister International 2007 contestants in Malaysia. That's probably one proof that he indeed failed to arrive in Malaysia.

Another Filipino contestant, Mark Figueroa who was supposed to represent Guam, also failed to arrive. Mark is the winner of Ginoong Pilipinas-USA 2007.

To count, there are only 17 contenders for the title of Mister International 2007.
