Maria Ahtisa Manalo, ‘Pambansang Monyeka,’ wins Miss Universe Ph 2025

Quick Summary:

Her first attempt at the title was in 2018, but she was instead bestowed the Binibining Pilipinas-International 2018 honor, edged out by eventual Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray.

But just like Miss Universe 2014 Top 10 MJ Lastimosa and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, Ahtisa’s three attempts to represent the Philippines at Miss Universe has finally paid off.

And in a rather quirky coincidence, the opening number at MUPH 2025, “Mabuhay,” was the opening song during Miss Universe 1994 held in Manila, where Dayanara relinquished her crown.
