Former Miss International 1st Runner Up 2018 Maria Ahtisa Manalo will be the official representative of Quezon Province in this year’s national edition of Miss Universe Philippines.
The choice was announced in an official sashing ceremony on January 27.
MUPh-Quezon Province posted reels on their social media snaps of netizens and pageant fans calling her out to join the national pageantry once more, with the hashtag “AHTISAPA”.
Manalo was supposed to join Miss Universe Philippines 2020, but then withdrew due to health concerns.
There is still no news yet on when Miss Universe Philippines will happen, but surely this edition will be one of a kind as she will compete with other MUPh frontrunners, Alexie Brooks from Iloilo and Cyrill Payumo of Pampanga, among others.
