AHTISA MANALO OF QUEZON CROWNED MISS UNIVERSE PHILIPPINES 2025

AHTISA Manalo of Quezon province has won the Miss Philippines 2025 crown.

She is set to represent the Philippines in the 74th Miss Universe pageant, which will be held in Bangkok, Thailand in November.

Manalo bested 65 candidates for the crown during the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 finals held at the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday, May 2. 

This makes her the sixth winner under the relatively new Miss Universe Philippines organization led by Miss Universe 2013 third runner-up Ariella Arida.

Manalo succeeds another Manalo as the new Miss Universe Philippines. Her predecessor, Chelsea Manalo, was proclaimed the first-ever Miss Universe Asia in last year’s edition of the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico.

Joining Ahtisa in the Top 6 were Chelsea Fernandez of Sultan Kudarat — who won the PINA Beauty Voting Showcase — Yllana Aduana of Siniloan, Laguna; Winwyn Marquez of Muntinlupa; Katrina Llegado of Taguig; and Gabriella Carballo of Cebu City.

Reigning Miss Universe Asia Chelsea Manalo of Bulacan crowned Manalo as her successor
