From Quezon Province to the Universe: Ahtisa Manalo is battle-ready for Miss U
Newly crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2025 Ahtisa Manalo, despite suffering from a lost voice and fatigue, is already focused on her plans for the upcoming Miss Universe pageant in Thailand.
Manalo participated in a victory photoshoot immediately after her coronation and attended a press conference despite feeling unwell.
She explained that she lost her voice shortly after the after-party and before her early morning photoshoot, attributing her illness to the demanding three-month competition.
Despite the physical toll, Manalo expressed her determination to pursue her dream, stating, "But this is my dream and I'm living it. So bahala na (never mind) the sickness."
Manalo admitted that she was already sick three days before the finals and was thinking about her Miss Universe strategy even before getting sleep after the competition.
