SOLDIER OF FORTUNE

Louie Infante was the first candidate from the Municipality of Ilog in Negros Occidental to ever join Hari ng Negros.

Luigi, as he is fondly called by friends, is a typical teenager who enjoys online gaming.

He holds a black belt in taekwondo and also teaches the discipline part time as co-instructor.

For him, Hari ng Negros was the chance of a lifetime and the opportunity to challenge himself even further.

Being grilled by an international panel of celebrity judges, Luigi never faltered.

His composure was that of utmost confidence.

And his style and personality bagged him the award of Mr. Congeniality.

With his boyish charm and clean-cut good looks, Luigi was a crowd favorite throughout the show.

Radiating in a designer barong with a smile that lights up the whole room.

He is currently taking up Information Technology at the Kabankalan Catholic College but plans to follow in the footsteps of his father who is a soldier in the Philippine Army.

By the end of the year Luigi will be taking up the entrance exam for the Philippine Military Academy where he can hopefully realize his dream in serving the nation and its people.

Whatever destiny and fortune awaits you Luigi, the Hari ng Negros family will support you all the way.

Proud to be a Negrense. Forever Hari ng Negros.

But don't get confused, Joseph is down to earth like any other boy around the corner. He loves to play the guitar and composes love songs in his spare time. In fact, he still believes in the "Harana" tradition while courting a girl.

For him, joining Hari ng Negros was an inner challenge.

The challenge to face his fears and at the same time gain more confidence and self esteem.

While giving it all he's got.

In a venue surrounded with the most promising talents this side of the Philippines.
