Andrew James Penaflorida Wolff (born 13 July 1985) is a Filipino-British Rugby Sevens Player. He currently plays for the Alabang Eagles Rugby Club and the Philippine National Rugby Sevens Team, the Philippine Volcanoes.
He is also Mr Philippines 2012 and Wolff represented the Philippines in the 2013 Mister World pageant in Kent, England, on 24 November 2012. He placed second to become Mister World first runner-up 2013.
Born in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, Wolff moved at a young age to Tunstall Green, Suffolk. Wolff attended Eyke Primary School and Woodbridge School. After finishing his A-Levels in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and A/S in Latin he gained a place at the University of Bristol to study Computer Systems Engineering in 2003. However, due to his disinterest in the degree, he left England in 2005 for the Philippines to be closer to his father.
He is currently a student of the University of London International Programmes under the London School of Economics studying Accounting & Finance.
In 2007 after learning about the Volcanoes first major 7s tournament at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand later that year, Wolff's father, Barry Francis, contacted the Philippine Rugby Football Union via email and informed them that Andrew wanted to join the campaign. Rick Hartley, former head coach, convinced by the email, decided to recruit Andrew and this was the start of Andrew's career with the national team. The team went on to win a Silver Medal losing to Thailand 22 - 17 in the final. Since then, Andrew has been the first choice prop and currently holds the record for the highest points in Philippine 7-a-side rugby. He also holds the record for being the highest capped Filipino 7s player.
In 2008, Andrew played his first 15-a-side game for the Philippine Volcanoes against Brunei in Guam and then against Guam. The Philippines won the series and the squad were promoted to division 3. He was named man-of-the-match in both games.
In 2010, Andrew met his current business partner and Volcanoes team mate Chris Everingham, brother of Andrew Everingham (South Sydney Rabbitohs) from Australia. For the next 2 seasons, they played together oblivious to the fact that their mothers were friends in the early 80s in Manila, until one day Andrew's mother messaged Chris on Facebook and confirmed his identity. Since then, Andrew and Chris have guested on numerous television shows and started an events management company together.
