Ahtisa Manalo will get to see country representative Kirk Bondad compete in the Mister International pageant.
Current reigning Miss Universe Philippines Ahtisa Manalo is now in Thailand as she is set to host the upcoming coronation night of the Mister International pageant.
In one of the more recent posts on the Instagram account of the Miss Universe Philippines organization, the organization shared a video of Ahtisa arriving in Thailand and being welcomed by gathered fans and media.
As she shared on her personal Instagram account, Ahtisa is in Thailand to not just visit the Miss Universe headquarters, but to also host the upcoming Mister International pageant, whose coronation night will be held tomorrow, September 25.
Representing the country at the Mister International pageant is Kirk Bondad, who recently caught the attention of people with his national costume made by designer Patrick Isorena and is meant to symbolize the Pearl of the Orient Seas. On Kirk's Instagram account, he wrote that the costume was named Perlas Celestia and that it reflects “not just beauty and elegance, but also divine origin, royal power, and eternal light.”
Kirk, alongside representatives from Costa Rica, Ecuador, Thailand, and Indonesia, were the top five of the pageant's national costume competition.

The Mister Pilipinas Worldwide organization has been working hard for Kirk lately, encouraging Filipino pageant fans to push him to the top spot of the People's Choice Award, where he is currently in the top three. Getting Kirk to the top of the leaderboard would mean a secured spot in the top six during the coronation night.
The Mister Pilipinas Worldwide organization had earlier called for votes for Kirk two weeks ago, stating that it will help land Kirk in the top six of the pageant.
The Mister Pilipinas Worldwide organization also called for a “bayanihan” vote for Kirk a couple of days ago, stating that this also helps Kirk get the “coveted crown.”
