“It’s my first time to join a gay pageant, [I] need more training for a comeback,” he said. “I won’t stop until I win a title for Cebu. It’s my goal to represent Cebu in the international arena,” Llego said.

Aside from being the fourth placer for Mr. Fahrenheit 2020, Llego also took home the award in Best in Swimwear.

Llego told CDN Digital that it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him to share the stage with veteran and successful contestants, which is the reason why he is even more determined to continue training to be ready for his next competitions.
