The friendly face off between Philippines and Lebanon

The dead set killer looks of Arcel Yambing, Philippines and Rabih El Zein, Lebanon will be put to litmus test this coming November 10 Miami Men's Fashion Week show and November 11 pageant finals at the Flamingo Theater Bar in Miami, Florida when they face off for the sought-after title Mister Model International 2015. These are just two exceptional specimens in a bevy of delectable hotshots in this year’s 3^rdedition of the pageant who in our assessment are safe bets and with odds-on chance at the crown.

Arcel Yambing is an up and coming model in the Philippines. He is a product of Bodyshots Philippines 2014, a model search and this year won in the Misters of the Philippines pageant, earning the right to represent the country in Mister Model International. He has dipped his feet well enough into ramp modeling, strutting the runways in Manila. With standout Asian features and polished catwalk skills, will he storm the competition in Miami?

Rabih El Zein is a TV presenter and director who won Mister Lebanon 2014. He led the quintet of Lebanon’s handsomest that included Kamel Raad, 3^rd runner-up who went on to win Mister United Continents 2015.

Rabih had previously seen action in February this year in Mister International 2014 pageant in Korea where he almost clasped the title but ultimately had to settle first runner-up to reigning titleholder Neil Perez of the Philippines. Is he fated to face off with another Philippine representative again as the last two standing? By every nook and cranny Rabih is a stunner and much deserving of an international title. Is Florida meant to be his winning court?

Who, say you raving pageant fans, will take the competition all the way to the end? Who in your judgment is rightful heir to the throne of Mister Model International? Let the battle begin! Sure, we said this is a friendly match which is true but when it’s contest time, there is no denying that by the very nature of a competition, this is going to be a fierce fight but only as such are they inexorably formidable foes. It is a face off not meant to hamper the other but to bring out the best in oneself and one's ability. Who will stand the test?
