The competition, which will commence on the 4th of April, will be attended by 25 delegates from all over the world. The delegates will enjoy a luxurious stay at the five diamond Fairway Hotel & Spa while in Johannesburg.

Carlito is actively involved with Ladlad Partylist and the Love Yourself Project.
Ladlad Partylist is one of the organizations who has been helping him to gain more knowledge about the gay community in our country.
While the Love Yourself Project consists of a group of volunteer educators and counselors, including him, who aims to propagate ideas and practices that encourages one's self to DARE to be oneself, to CARE for oneself, and to SHARE oneself as a way to multiplying joy.
While many considers Carlito as one of the strongest competitors this year, a huge pressure is toiled upon him as almost all the Philippines delegates who competed in the International competition have been winners in their own way.
