Thirteen UAE-based Filipinos passed Friday’s final screening for the male pageant Man of the Philippines-Dubai.

A five-member judging panel, including Binibining Pilipinas International 2007 Nadia Lee Cien Shami, made the “extraordinarily tough” decision to choose all 13 as official candidates of the Dubai pageant.

The candidates will vie for the title Man of the Philippines-Dubai and will be flown to Manila for the grand finals of Man of the Philippines in December. Candidates will compete with 59 other bachelors for three international titles.
