The Miss Cosmo International pageant is set to happen tonight and The Miss Philippines organization is doing all it can to assure Miss Cosmo Philippines Ahtisa Manalo a top 10 spot.
In one of the more recent posts on its Instagram account, The Miss Philippines organization called on Filipino pageant fans and followers to do a Bayanihan vote as the voting for the Miss Cosmo International People's Choice Awards ends today, October 5, at 11:59 a.m. The contestant who tops the vote gets a guaranteed spot in the Miss Cosmo International Top 10.
Currently, Ahtisa is in third place for the Miss Cosmo International People's Choice Awards, behind second place Miss Tanzania Lujeyn Ahmed and first place Miss Thailand Mook Karnruethai Tassabut. Ahtisa had previously been in the lead, with Tanzania, Thailand, Colombia's María Alejandra Salazar, and Vietnam's Bui Xuan Hanh making up the top five.
Before this current “Big Bang” round of voting, The Miss Philippines organization also called for a “last push” of votes so Ahtisa can win the National Pride Award, the second stage of the Cosmo People's Choice Award. Ahtisa would go on to place second in the stage.

Aside from voting challenges, Ahtisa has also been working hard to charm the Miss Cosmo International judges face to face. She had earlier participated in the Miss Cosmo 2024 Jury Session lasy Thursday, October 3.
Ahtisa participated in the Jury Sessions after suffering a sprained ankle that led to her missing some of the Miss Cosmo International activities. In a statement released by The Miss Philippines, the organization explained that Ahtisa had opted to rest instead “so she can be well enough to take on the coming challenges.”
Ahtisa has already wowed pageant fans with her national costume made by Filipino designer Ehrran Montoya and inspired by Mars Ravelo's superheroine, Dyesebel.
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.
