Kenneth Cabungcal of Dumaguete City made the Philippines proud once again, securing the Fourth Runner-Up title at the 2025 Mister Supranational pageant held in Poland. His placement follows another strong showing for the Philippines, with Tarah Valencia of Baguio finishing as Third Runner-Up in the Miss Supranational pageant just a day earlier.
Cabungcal joined France, who was crowned Mister Supranational 2025, along with runners-up from Curacao (1st), Mexico (2nd), and Nigeria (3rd), in completing this year’s prestigious Top 5 lineup.
As with the women’s pageant, the event also honored Continental Ambassadors:
- Africa: South Africa
- Americas: Venezuela
- Asia: Indonesia
- Caribbean: Puerto Rico
- Europe: Czech Republic
This isn’t Cabungcal’s first success on the international stage. In 2024, he placed First Runner-Up at the Man of the World pageant, just behind Venezuela’s Sergio Azuaga. A civil engineering graduate, Cabungcal earned the right to represent the Philippines in Mister Supranational after winning Mister Pilipinas Worldwide 2025.
In the final Q&A, Cabungcal paid tribute to his humble roots, saying, “My parents, both fish vendors, are the reason I work hard. I stand on this stage because I want to build them a better future.”
