Ahtisa Manalo has been crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2025, succeeding Chelsea Manalo. She will represent the Philippines at the Miss Universe pageant in Thailand this November, building on a solid history in pageants. Winwyn Marquez and Yllana Aduana are the first and second runners-up, respectively.
Ahtisa Manalo has been crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2025, triumphing at the Mall of Asia Arena on May 2, defeating a competitive field of 65 candidates. As the new queen, the Queen Province representative is poised to represent the Philippines at the 74th Miss Universe pageant, which will take place in Thailand this November. Manalo’s confident performance left a strong impression on both the judges and the audience alike.
This victory adds to Ahtisa Manalo’s impressive track record in beauty pageants. Previously, she was named first runner-up at Miss International 2018 and secured a second runner-up finish at last year’s Miss Universe Philippines. Her history also includes a Top 10 spot in the Miss Cosmo pageant. These accomplishments highlight her experience and determination in the competitive world of pageantry.
In an interesting twist, Ahtisa takes the crown from Chelsea Manalo, who made headlines last year by becoming the first-ever Miss Universe Asia. The pressure is on as Ahtisa looks to build on this legacy and further enhance the Philippines’ stature in the international beauty pageant scene.
Alongside Ahtisa, Winwyn Marquez from Muntinlupa was named the first runner-up, while Yllana Aduana from Siniloan, Laguna, claimed the second runner-up title. The event showcased a stellar lineup of contestants who showcased immense talent, but Ahtisa Manalo’s charisma and stage presence were undeniable.
The Philippines has a rich history in beauty pageants, claiming four Miss Universe crowns with previous winners such as Catriona Gray, Pia Wurtzbach, Margie Moran, and Gloria Diaz. With Ahtisa Manalo at the forefront, the nation is eager to see if she will add a fifth title to its impressive collection later this year in Thailand. The global stage awaits, and excitement is building as Ahtisa prepares to shine on the international platform.
In summary, Ahtisa Manalo’s coronation as Miss Universe Philippines 2025 marks a significant moment for the pageant industry in the Philippines. With her extensive experience and a compelling track record, she is set to represent the country at the Miss Universe pageant in Thailand this November. The country, a noted pageant powerhouse, looks forward to Ahtisa’s potential to add to its legacy.
