Ahtisa Manalo gives off queenly vibes on Mega magazine's June cover
Ahtisa Manalo is a total queen on the June cover of Mega magazine.
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.
