Ahtisa Manalo of the Philippines finished as the third runner-up in the 74th Miss Universe 2025 pageant held in Bangkok, Thailand.

She wore a custom silver gown by Val Taguba and also placed third in the "Beyond the Crown" category.

Mexico's Fatima Bosch was crowned Miss Universe 2025, with Praveenar Singh of Thailand as first runner-up, Stephany Abasali of Venezuela as second runner-up, and Olivia Yace of Cote d'Ivoire as fourth runner-up.

Manalo's achievement marks the Philippines' highest placement since Beatrice Luigi Gomez in 2021.

Her arrival in the Philippines has been postponed to a different date due to "recent adjustments" by the Miss Universe Philippines organization, with new details to be announced soon.

Manalo stated that the Miss Universe 2025 stage is the culmination of her 18-year pageant career, and she considers her friendships with Panama's Mirna Caballini and Pakistan's Roma Riaz as her greatest gifts.

Puerto Rico will host the Miss Universe 2026 pageant.
