Miss Universe 2025: Ahtisa Manalo drops bikini photos ahead of the swimsuit show

Ahtisa Manalo looks poised and ready for the swimsuit competition of Miss Universe!

On social media Friday morning, the Philippine bet dropped photos of herself in a black high-string bikini that showcased her svelte figure.

She wore her long black hair down, with big hoop earrings framing her pretty face. On Ahtisa's wrists are gold bangles that added glamour to her over all look.

Following a controversial and bumpy start that saw a walkout which prompted the overall Miss Universe organization restricting Nawat Itsaragrisil’s participation, the Miss Universe competition is in full throttle in Thailand. The swimsuit competition is scheduled for tonight in Pattaya, while the closed door interviews will take place tomorrow.

Preliminaries and the national costume show will take place on Wednesday for the competition to end on a high note during the finale in Bangkok on Friday.

Ahtisa is vying for the Philippines' fifth Miss Universe crown. Good luck to you, girl! — LA, GMA Integrated News
