Miss Universe Philippines Ahtisa Manalo Beyond the Crown video focuses on youth empowerment and education.

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 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.
