Miss Universe National Costume


Can Miss Universe Philippines win three years in a row?

The Miss Universe Philippines candidates have been winning the National Costume category of the international pageant for two years straight now, and now the organization is making sure that the recognition stays with the Philippines.

In one of the more recent posts on its official Instagram account, the Miss Universe Philippines uploaded a poster that called on Filipino fans and pageant aficionados to cast their votes for Ahtisa Manalo in the Miss Universe National Costume category. In the caption to the post, the organization emphasized that Ahtisa winning the honor this year would make it a historic three-peat for the country.

Fans and pageant aficionados can vote for Ahtisa on the Miss Universe app by watching adds or buying votes on the app itself.

The campaigning for votes for the National Costume category is just the latest show of support from the Miss Universe Philippines organization. Just recently, the Miss Universe Philippines organization asked Filipino pageant fans to vote for the Philippines in the Most Beautiful People category of the 2025 Miss Universe pageant.

In the caption to the post, the organization wrote that Miss Universe Philippines Ahtisa Manalo embodies the “warmth, beauty, and spirit” that Filipinos are known for, and that voting for her can “show the universe the beauty of the Filipino heart and spirit.”

A couple of days before that call to action, the organization called on fans 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 called on fans to vote for Ahtisa in the Miss Congeniality category of the Miss Universe pageant. In the caption to the post, the organization called on its followers to help Ahtisa “shine even brighter on the Miss Universe stage.”

The Miss Universe Philippines organization also made an earlier appeal to vote for Ahtisa in other categories like Most Photogenic and Best Evening Gown. Fans can also vote for Ahtisa in the categories of People's Choice and Best Skin.

Ahtisa was given a lively send-off arranged for her by Filipino fans before flying to Bangkok, Thailand
