emirates7 - Following an intense and highly competitive Miss Universe Philippines 2025 pageant, Ma. Ahtisa Manalo of Quezon Province claimed the coveted crown.

The grand coronation night took place at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on May 2, where Manalo officially took over the title from Chelsea Manalo, last year’s queen, and was crowned with the iconic “La Mer en Majeste.”

Manalo stood out among 65 aspirants in what many pageant fans described as a “puksaan” (elimination round), reflecting the fierce nature of the competition that featured a wide range of contenders—including seasoned international participants and former national titleholders.
