After surveying 1.5 million people from across the globe, international website Big 7 Travel has concluded that Filipinos are officially the third sexiest group of people in the entire world out of 50 countries included in the study.
The word “sexy” was open to interpretation for those who fulfilled the survey, but defined Filipinos through the likes of boxer-turned-Senator Manny Pacquiao, Grammy-award-winning Bruno Mars, and “the many Miss Universe participants,” like Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach and Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, saying, “Probably the most famous Filipino in the world, professional boxer Manny Pacquiao along with Bruno Mars and the many Miss World participants make this a top scorer.”
The purpose of the survey was “to get an insight into where you’ll find the world’s most beautiful people,” according to Big 7. They were the same publication who recently conducted a survey that concluded that “the Filipino accent is the sexiest in Asia and the 21st sexiest in the world.” They described the Philippine accent as, “Gentle and soft, the accents you’ll hear when in the Philippines are simply lovely.”
Topping the polls with the number one spot is Ukraine, with the Danish coming shortly after at second. Following the Philippines in ranking are Brazil and Australia, who charted number four and five respectively. The top 10 was completed by South Africa, Italy, Armenia, United Kingdom, and Canada.
At the bottom of the list are the Irish, with the Americans also not faring well at the 45th spot. The study explained, “The United States has a hugely diverse population, making it hard to pinpoint what an ‘American’ looks like. Some might say Britney Spears, others think of Donald Trump.”
