2019 Mr. World contestants at Bench’s Bonifacio High Street

MANILA, Philippines —  The 2019 Mr. World contestants were treated to a shopping spree at Bench’s Bonifacio High Street flagship store last Wednesday, Aug. 14, welcomed by no less than the man himself, Ben Chan. They enjoyed good food at the store’s café and the best part of all was they received vouchers to shop to their hearts’ content.

Around for more than 30 years, Bench has achieved the distinction of being present virtually in every retail space in the Philippines, and has built a worldwide network of stores and outlets, reaching as far as the US, the Middle East, and China.

The Mr. World finals will be held on Friday, Aug. 23, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, covered by GMA.
