Ian Leonel Porlayagan :

Ian was last year’s winner of Mr. International Philippines, he did not even make it to the top 3 slots. That’s heart wrenching. Typical Gulong ng Palad story. When I was reviewing the photos I took, and I took a lot with Ian in it, I noticed a certain sadness in his eyes even while the contest was going on. Made me think, did Ian know deep inside that while he was the title-holder last year, this year it wouldn’t be him?
