The Miss Universe Philippines organization also made an earlier appeal to vote for Ahtisa in other categories like Most Photogenic, Best Evening Gown, and Best National Costume.

The online voting for different categories is one of the changes in this year's Miss Universe pageant. Fans can now use the Miss Universe app to vote not just for Miss Congeniality and Beyond the Crown categories, but also for Most Photogenic, People's Choice, Best Skin, Best Evening Gown, and Best National Costume.

Supporters can vote on the app by watching adds or buying votes on the app itself.
