September 21, 2026 — Mr. Jereed Lou Waclin Tido, the reigning Mr. Cordillera 2025, paid a courtesy visit to Itogon Mayor Bernard S. Waclin on Monday as he prepares to represent the Province of Benguet in the upcoming 3rd Edition of the Mister Tourism World Philippines Pageant on November 26–28, 2026.
Tido, who was born in Buguias, began his pageantry journey in 2022 when he competed in Mr. Millennial Pangasinan. He continued his participation in pageants by joining Mr. Earth La Union in 2023.
In 2024, Tido won his first crown as Mr. Buguias and later earned the title of Mr. Benguet, paving the way for his entry into the regional pageant scene.
His journey reached the Cordillera stage in 2025, where he was crowned Mr. Cordillera, giving him the opportunity to represent the region and further pursue his passion for pageantry.
Now, Tido is set to take another step in his pageantry journey as he prepares to represent Benguet in the national Mister Tourism World Philippines competition this November.
Mayor Waclin expressed his full support for Tido. He also encouraged Itogonians to extend their support as he competes in the upcoming pageant. // Capsula, Padcayan; GIP
