Miss Cosmo Philippines Ahtisa Manalo's ankle injury has led to her missing some of the pageant's recent activities.
The Miss Philippines organization assured fans worried about the current state of Miss Cosmo Philippines Ahtisa Manalo that the beauty queen is safe and healthy despite being absent from some of the pageant's recent activities.
In one of the more recent posts on The Miss Philippines Instagram account, the organization explained that Ahtisa was missing from recent activities due to a sprained ankle. The beauty queen had opted to rest instead “so she can be well enough to take on the coming challenges.” The organization also called on pageant fans to wish Ahtisa well.
The Miss Philippines Instagram account has been a fervent supporter of Ahtisa's Miss Cosmo International campaign, just recently calling for a “last push” of votes so Ahtisa can win the National Pride Award, the second stage of the Cosmo People's Choice Award.
The Miss Philippines organization had earlier campaigned for votes for Ahtisa, sharing that winning the National Pride Award would give her a media promotion package, including media, OOH, and TV coverage to promote themselves and their country. Ahtisa also stands to win a “Hope Star”, which will double her points during the final stage of voting.

Ahtisa previously won the “first station” of the Miss Cosmo International's People's Choice Awards thanks to a call for votes sent out by The Miss Philippines organization.
It was also The Miss Philippines organization's successful campaigning that led to 1 million votes for Ahtisa in the Miss Cosmo Social Ambassador challenge.
Outside of voting, Ahtisa also charmed pageant fans with her national costume made by Filipino designer Ehrran Montoya. In one of the posts, The Miss Philippines explained that the costume was inspired by Mars Ravelo's superheroine, Dyesebel.
According to the caption, the costume is meant to be a celebration of “iconic Filipino artistry while giving a nod to our nation's rich mythology.”
Ahtisa was named the country's Miss Cosmo Philippines representative last May during the Miss Universe Philippines pageant. Chelsea Manalo won the Miss Universe Philippines crown, while the Miss Supranational Philippines crown was awarded to Tarah Valencia. Alexie Mae Brooks was named Miss Eco International Philippines while Cyrille Payumo was named Miss Charm Philippines.
