Twenty-seven-year-old John Paul, or JP, Ocat hails from Talisay City, Cebu, but also considers Cagayan de Oro City his home, where he spent his younger days studying at the Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan where he earned a degree in International Studies. The host, model and project manager, who once worked as a flight attendant, rose to prominence when he competed in the Misters of Filipinas 2018 pageant, where he was declared one of the winners, clinching the Man of the World Philippines 2018 title. He represented the country in the Man of the World 2019 pageant, held in San Juan City, where he placed fourth runner-up among 40 contestants. A mental health advocate, Ocat loves reading books and is into writing, spiritual meditation, adventure and music. He once dreamed of becoming a rapper. He also has another goal — becoming a lawyer. Becoming part of the Pit Crew is a dream come true for Ocat.
