Corilla officially entered the Mister Global 2024 pageant after finishing as one of the finalists in the second Mister Pilipinas Worldwide search.

Another memorable moment is during the question and answer segment. He was asked the question, “Can men be feminists?”
Corilla responded with the following:
“Men can be feminist. It doesn’t matter what role you play as long as you do it with passion, with care, with friendship, and with love.
In today’s society, we cannot choose where we will end up, but we can choose how we end up there. So, with this, men can be feminists.”
In related news, his victory also cheered up local pageant fans, who were saddened by Ahtisa Manalo’s loss in Miss Cosmo 2024.
