Miss Universe Philippines 2025 Ahtisa Manalo claims 'Pambansang Manika Walk'
Ahtisa Manalo, crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2025 on May 2, has claimed her signature walk as the "Pambansang Manika Walk."
The beauty queen, a pageant veteran who won on her third attempt, described her walk as "being sweet and demure but also powerful."
Manalo explained that her new moniker is derived from her "national doll" nickname.
Her official portraits, featuring a shimmering pink gown by Val Taguba, were posted after her coronation.
Manalo's competitors from the pageant expressed their admiration for her official photos.
She appeared on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" to discuss her walk and an accidental trip during the evening gown competition.
Manalo attributed the trip to her Val Taguba dress getting caught in her heels while descending steps.
