Filipino fans and pageant aficionados who want to see Philippine representative Ahtisa Manalo perform well at the Miss Universe pageant now have a chance to do so as the Miss Universe Philippines organization is calling on them for votes.
In one of the more recent posts on its official Instagram account, the Miss Universe Philippines organization uploaded a poster calling on Ahtisa's fans and followers to vote for her in the Beyond the Crown category of the Miss Universe pageant, which highlights the delegates' advocacies.
Ahtisa's Beyond the Crown video has her speaking about her partner organization Alon Akademie, whose two programs Alon Hub and Alon on Wheels focus on youth empowerment and education.
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.
Aside from opening online voting, the Miss Universe organization has also announced this year's commentary hosts, namely Miss Universe 1993 Dayanara Torres and Miss Universe 2022 R'Bonney Gabriel. In the caption to its post, the organization said that the pair would be the audience's voices through the show and will share “the best reactions, stories, and unforgettable moments live from the 74th Miss Universe Competition.”

On the Instagram post of Miss Universe Philippines, the organization thanked the people who went to NAIA Terminal 1 departure area to send off Ahtisa.
