Ahtisa Manalo gives off queenly vibes on Mega magazine's June cover
On Instagram, the fashion magazine shared the cover of their Trendsetters And Trailblazers issue where they honor the personalities "who define what's next and dare to do what hasn't been done."
In the cover photo taken by photographer Mark Ducay, the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 donned a pink sculptural gown by Jaggy Glarino and jewelry pieces from Jewelmer.
'She fell—but she rose poised like royalty,' Mega wrote in the caption.
'Midway through her evening gown walk at Miss Universe Philippines 2025, Ahtisa Manalo hit the floor with just one instinct: get up. And when she did, the cheers shook the room. What could've broken her became the very moment she claimed the crown. A queen was born,' the magazine added.
According to Mega, the cover story will follow the rise, fall, and reign of Ahtisa.
After three attempts, the beauty queen from Quezon Province was finally crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2025 early this May.
She will represent the Philippines in Miss Universe 2025, which will take place on November 21 at the Impact Muong Thong Thani Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Kim delos Santos reveals Dingdong Dantes was cause of past 'tampuhan' with Antoinette Taus
Kim delos Santos revealed that she and Antoinette Taus had some tampuhan before during their "T.G.I.S." days because of a guy: their co-star Dingdong Dantes. The nurse and former child actress guested on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Monday where she made the revelation for the first time. During the "Fast Talk" segment, Kim named Antoinette, who she referred to as Toni, as the actress she had tampuhan with. When prodded by Tito Boy about it, she shared that it was because they both liked Dingdong, whom Antoinette eventually had a relationship with. "Parehas kaming gusto nung time na 'yun siguro kaya lagi kami nagtatalo. Siya 'yung lalaking gusto ko before, [si] Dingdong. Pinagseselosan before. Ay nasabi ko rin! First time kong banggitin 'yun," she shared. According to Kim, they managed to settle the issue since they have all matured. "Oo, tumanda na eh, we're older. Syempre bagets eh, we were teens, so selos dito, selos dun, 'yung mga ganun," she said. Kim also shared during her interview that she got the chance to talk to Dingdong and Polo Ravales earlier. "Sabi ni Polo, 'Dingdong has a new show.' Sabi ko, 'really?' Sabi niya, 'Sabihin mo sali ka' and then Dingdong was asking me if it's okay for me to come here and stuff like that and I said yeah, I can always ask for changing my work to PRN as needed, so it's one of the options that I've been thinking about and Dingdong was like, 'sigurado ka ba?' Kasi namimiss Tito Boy, [acting's] in your blood, it's like you miss it," she said. Kim is back in the Philippines after being away from showbiz for more than 20 years. During her interview with Tito Boy, she mentioned that she returned because she misses acting and wants to try it out again. She added that she would like to do drama and work with the same people she has worked with before. Kim starred as Tere Gonzaga in the '90s coming-of-age series "T.G.I.S." alongside Dingdong, Antoinette, the late Red Sternberg, Angelu De Leon, Bobby Andrews, Rica Peralejo, Dino Guevarra, and more. Directed by Mark Reyes, the show premiered on GMA Network in August 1995 and had over 200 episodes. It also had a film, "T.G.I.S.: The Movie," released in 1997. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
