Mr Diamond Ireland – Jason

Hi everyone ☺️ My name is Jason, im 32 years old. I live with a learning disability.I’m from Belfast, im originally from the Philippines.I work as a full time Chef in Belfast, I came to Belfast when I was 8 years old. I live in Belfast for over 17 years now. I’m known as a freelance model, I started modeling in 2020 during covid time when restrictions allowed us to meet others. I’m also part of pageantry in Northern Ireland, I won my first ever title as Mr Shining Light 2024 wearing an evening gown in a national stage in Londonderry. Last week I have won the title Mr Diamond Ireland 2026 where I’ll be representing Ireland in the USA next year, I use my platform to raise awareness for mental health specially in the LGBTQ+community. Being part in Pageantry it has helped me gain and build my confidence. I’m also known as The Rainbow Warrior 🌈 I sturt the street of Belfast every year at Belfast Pride, I LipSync and dance around during the parade as I show and embrace my unique self. As a gay man coming out wasn’t so easy as I was not accepted for who I was but now days it does get better.My advice to all the queer person out there is to always be yourself and that your not alone 💖
