Hindi nagpatinag si Miss Universe Ph 2025 Ahtisa Manalo sa kaniyang pagkakadapa sa naturang competition.
Nagpakita ng katatagan ang pinakabagong Miss Universe Philippines 2025 na si Ahtisa Manalo nang tumayo siya agad matapos madapa at mahulog sa evening gown competition ng naturang pageant.
Sa pagbisita ni Ahtisa sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda nitong Miyerkules, May 7, binalikan ng beauty queen ang naturang moment at ipinaalam kung ano ang nangyari.
“There were stairs, and then I think the dulo of the gown flipped and then got caught on my heel. I still have the bruise,” pag-alala ni Ahtisa.
Aniya, kahit masakit ay gusto niyang makatayo kaagad mula sa kaniyang pagkakadapa, “I know I didn't want to be there for like - I just want to get up as fast as I can.”
Samantala, masaya naman umano si Ahtisa sa naging sagot niya sa question-and-answer portion ng patimpalak, lalo na at galing ito sa puso.
“I thought that when they asked what is that thing that I could show to everyone. I thought that they were all there to witness my fall. And if it's not enough that they saw me fall, and stood up, and still fought for what I wanted, what better answer could I have given? At least, that's what's going on in my mind,” sabi ng beauty queen.

Aminado rin siyang hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa nagsi-sink in ang kaniyang pagkapanalo. Gayunman, nagsimula na siya sa paghahanda para sa Miss Universe competition, na gaganapin sa Thailand sa November. Sa katunayan, pag-uwi niya raw pagkatapos ng coronation night ay nag-iisip na siya ng game plan para sa nalalapit na pageant.
“After my coronation, we had an after-party with all the other candidates and the organization. Once I got home, I got home around 4 a.m. I couldn't sleep until 7 a.m. 'cause I was already thinking, 'What do I do in Thailand?' Like I was already thinking of a game plan,” pagbabahagi ni Ahtisa.
Isa sa mga pagtutuunan niya umano ng pansin ay ang pagiging fit, lalo na at nagkasakit siya tatlong araw bago ang coronation night.
“I wanted to give the Philippines a great fight, making sure that I'm 100 percent healthy because when you're healthy, your physical body, your mind follows, and your confidence, and your game. That's my main focus for Thailand,” sabi ng beauty queen.
