MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines’ Ahtisa Manalo is into the Top 12 of the 74th Miss Universe pageant taking place in Thailand.
The Miss Universe 2025 Top 30 candidates strutted on the Impact Challenger Hall stage in their swimsuit attires provided by Filipino clothing brand Bench before the Top 12 cut was announced.
During the preliminary round last November 19 Ahtisa wore a bright blue two-piece swimsuit, but for the coronation event she opted for a white two-piece with golden metallic flowers dangling from her hip.
Here are the Top 12 of Miss Universe 2025:
- Chile – Inna Moll
- Colombia – Vanessa Pulgarin
- Cuba – Lina Luaces
- Guadelope – Ophely Mezino
- Mexico – Fatima Bosch
- Puerto Rico – Zashely Alicea
- Venezuela – Stephany Abasali
- China – Zhao Na
- Philippines – Ahtisa Manalo
- Thailand – Praveenar Singh
- Malta – Julia Cluett
- Cote d’Ivoire – Olivia Yace
The remaning delegates will compete in the evening gown competition where many fans are expecting the ladies to revamp their preliminary dresses.
A final cut of five beauty queens will fill up the podium, but only after completing the two-part question and answer round.
Ahtisa remains on course to win the Philippines’ fifth Miss Universe crown. Coincidentally the country’s last title was won by her Binibining Pilipinas 2018 batchmate Catriona Gray in the very same venue seven years ago.
