With the victory of Neil Perez as Mister International 2014/15 in Ansan, Korea, he defied the odds by defeating a strong line-up of contenders from Europe, Asia and Latin America. And he has proven that despite using an interpreter during the final Q&A, his chances of winning were never affected. When was the last time we all heard one of our bets speaking in Filipino during the Top 5 round? Pretty amusing, if you ask me. ;-)
Watch the announcement of winners in the video below. Credits go to Chankritti Kritmomtrakula for recording the same during the actual program in Ansan, Korea.
And here is Neil’s Top 5 Q&A in Filipino.
So do we greenlight the using of interpreters now? Neil’s victory has set a precedent. :-)
