The Philippines' representative to Mr World 2014 is John de Lara Spainhour, 26 and 1m85. He is Filipino-American (mother is Filipina and father is American) and served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a snipeshooter in Iraq for five years. After completing his service in 2011, he moved to Manila. He is a highly quoted model, having won the Century Tuna Superbods 2012 model contest. Also, he is reported to have won the "cougar" affections of TV personality Kris Aquino.

"John Spainhour is HOT," Kris Aquino said on the April 24 episode of Aquino and Abunda Tonight.  He's so hot, he's now on the bus with her as they head to Sand Box in Porac. For work, of course. (Source: Coconuts Manila)

At the same time CQ Global Quest, the franchise holder for Mr World Philippines, announced John as Mr World Philippines 2014, they announced Sam Adjani, 23 and 1m90, as Mr World Philippines 2015. Sam, with Filipino, Iranian, and Japanese heritage, is a ramp and commercial model. 

Congrats to both John and Sam!

These guys are HOT, HOT, HOT!

Spainhour, who specialized in marksmanship and close-quarters combat during his stint in the military, considers his background as an advantage in Mister World.

"My prior job required a lot of discipline, a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication," he said. "Of course, if you apply that to anything in life, it's going to benefit you greatly... It actually tested me. Since this competition is going to be military-themed, I hear, it should help give me an advantage." (Source: ABS-CBN)
