Ahtisa Manalo ready to conquer the universe

MISS Universe Philippines 2025 Ahtisa Manalo

Speaking during her official sendoff yesterday at Citadines Millennium Hotel in Ortigas, the 28-year-old beauty queen from Quezon expressed her excitement and gratitude to everyone, saying she is determined to give her "best self" as she strives to bring home the Philippines’ fifth Miss Universe crown.

Ahtisa admitted to "feeling the pressure," as she knows all eyes will be on her. However, she added, "But I know that it’s one of those things that will push me to become better and to serve the Philippines better."

Pageant watchers can expect a strong fashion showcase in Bangkok. Ahtisa revealed that her national costume will be designed by Mak Tumang, the designer behind Catriona Gray’s iconic “Mayon Volcano” gown in 2018.

"It?s a national costume that hasn’t been seen in a while on the Miss Universe stage," she teased. "It’s a good representation of Filipino culture and also my own personality."
