Ahtisa Manalo tops Missosology's latest Hot Picks for Miss Universe 2025
Filipina beauty queen Ahtisa Manalo proudly showcased her official sash for the Miss Universe 2025 pageant.
She arrived in Thailand on Sunday and is competing for the Philippines' fifth Miss Universe crown.
Manalo has taken the number one spot in Missosology's latest Hot Picks for Miss Universe 2025, praised for her poise, polish, persistence, depth, and national pride.
The Miss Universe 2025 pageant is set to be held in Thailand on November 21.
The pageant has faced controversies, including the Miss Universe Organization (MUO) restricting the participation of Miss Universe Thailand's national director, Nawat Itsaragrisil, due to public aggression towards a contestant.
MUO president Raul Rocha expressed great indignation toward Itsaragrisil for humiliating and insulting Mexico's candidate, Fatima Bosch.
Itsaragrisil has since apologized for his actions, and further friction has arisen between the MUO and Miss Universe Thailand over an unauthorized promotional event.
