Kirk Bondad, born June 7, 1997, is a Filipino-German model, fitness trainer, and pageant winner who captured the Mister International 2025 title in Bangkok, Thailand, becoming the second Filipino to win the crown after Neil Perez's triumph in 2014. Bondad, whose mother hails from the Cordilleras' indigenous Igorot community in the Philippines and whose father is of German-Filipino-Spanish descent, grew up with strong multicultural roots and spent formative years in Germany before moving to the Philippines to advance his modeling and fitness career.
Standing at 6’3”, Bondad’s rise to international acclaim was built on discipline and a passion for advocacy—first gaining national recognition after winning the prestigious Century Tuna Superbods fitness competition in 2022 and later representing the Philippines at Mister World 2024, where he finished in the Top 20. He further strengthened his credentials by winning Mister Pilipinas International 2025, setting the stage for his victory at Mister International.
Bondad was celebrated at the 2025 Mister International pageant for his heartfelt advocacy during the Q&A, focusing on children’s rights and education as vital global issues, and for showcasing strong stage presence, modeling prowess, and confidence. He holds a degree in business administration from GBSB Global Business School in Spain.
Kirk's win is heralded as a triumph not only for his personal journey but also for the advocacy causes he embraces, including empowering future generations and representing Filipino pride on the global stage.
