Ahtisa Manalo, the remarkable beauty who previously secured the position of first runner-up at Miss International 2018, is set to grace the pageant stage once again.
After a hiatus of five years, she’s making her highly-anticipated return, representing Quezon Province in the upcoming Miss Universe Philippines contest.
Her official confirmation came through a touching Instagram post, where she was celebrated as a paragon of grace, intelligence, and determination, truly embodying the essence of an empowered young Filipina.
This momentous comeback is marked not only by her own aspirations but also by the pride and support of her province, as evidenced by the special ceremony where she was honored with her official sash.
