Ahtisa Manalo Heats Up Miss Universe 2025: NatCos & Prelims Set to Shine in Thailand! 🇵🇭
The countdown is on! Miss Universe Philippines Ahtisa Manalo is ready to light up the Miss Universe 2025 stage in Bangkok, Thailand. With the National Costume Presentation and Preliminary Competition just around the corner, excitement among fans is reaching a fever pitch! 🔥
After an unforgettable tour of Phuket and Pattaya, Ahtisa and the 120 international delegates are back in Bangkok, gearing up for the most important events before the grand coronation on November 21.
The National Costume Presentation — a dazzling celebration of culture and creativity — will be held on November 19 at 1 PM (2 PM Manila time) at Hall 2 of Impact Challenger in Nonthaburi. That same evening, the Preliminary Competition kicks off from 7–9 PM (8–10 PM Manila time), giving the queens their first chance to impress judges on swimwear and evening gown.
Ahtisa’s show-stopping national costume is crafted by world-renowned designer Mak Tumang, the genius behind Catriona Gray’s iconic lava gown. Tumang revealed that the ensemble is now in its final adornment, with accessory designer Cholo Ayuyao adding the finishing touches — and refusing payment as a heartfelt gesture of bayanihan, the spirit of Filipino unity and generosity. 🇵🇭💖
Filipinos around the world are showing their support online! Ahtisa is leading the People’s Choice vote with over 1 million votes, securing her a potential spot in the Top 30. Even actress Angel Locsin joined the call to action:
“BAYANIHAN PARA SA PILIPINAS! Let’s support our PH representative for Miss Universe 2025, Ms. Ahtisa Manalo.”
Fans can expect fireworks as Ahtisa flaunts Bench swimwear in the Top 30 and a Val Taguba evening gown in the Top 10. The Quezon beauty is now eyeing the Philippines’ fifth Miss Universe crown, aiming to make history once again on Thai soil — just like Catriona Gray did in 2018.
This week, all eyes are on Ahtisa Manalo as she brings Filipino pride, artistry, and elegance to the world stage. Are you ready to cheer our queen to the crown?
