Philippines' Ahtisa Manalo aims to empower girls via Alon Akademie

The 74th Miss Universe finals were held today in Thailand, featuring a question-and-answer portion for the Top 5 finalists.

The finalists were narrowed down from an initial 120 contestants to the Top 30, then to the Top 12 for the evening gown competition.

The Top 5 contestants faced two rounds of questions from selected judges, with the final question focusing on how they would use the Miss Universe platform to empower young girls.

Thailand's representative, Praveenar Singh, encouraged contestants to be their own heroes and to lift each other up, emphasizing rising from failures.

Philippines' representative, Ahtisa Manalo, stated she would continue working with Alon Akademie to provide equal opportunities for those from low-income backgrounds.

An artificial intelligence evaluation of the Q&A portion, using criteria like clarity, substance, and authenticity, offered an analytical ranking of the finalists' performances.
