After Philippine bet Ahtisa Manalo was named the Miss Universe 2025 third runner up at the coronation show on Friday, Nov. 21, social media has been bombarded by fans and celebrities who raised personal doubts over the pageant results.
Fatima Bosch of Mexico emerged as this year’s titleholder while Thailand’s Praveenar Singh, Venezuela’s Stephany Abasali, and Cote d’Ivoire’s Olivia Yace rounded up the winners as first, second, and fourth runners up, respectively.
Manalo’s placement seemingly did not sit right with Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee who said via her X page that she was “speechless” and “confused” after the announcement of winners.
