Alexander Aquino is the first Filipino who won the Mister International Title in 2001. A native of South Carolina, Alexander grew up in Hollywood's backyard. The oldest of two, Alexander gets his multi-ethnic looks from his Filipino father and Irish/Korean mother. After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing, he spent several years climbing a corporate ladder. With much success, his career was called short during the dot.com melt down. It was at the same time that the modelling world came calling. Alexander headed overseas to quickly become one of Asia's leading male models. His experience includes capturing titles like Cosmopolitan Magazine's Top 10 Bachelors of the country of the Philippines, which also showcased him as the candidate to represent the country in India's prestigious male pageant, GRASIM Mister International, and then he captured the title. After three years working throughout Asia and a successful modelling career, Alexander came home to pursue acting and a business venture with his cousin.
