Miss Cosmo Philippines 2024 Ma. Ahtisa Manalo concluded her Miss Cosmo journey in the Top 10 during the pageant’s grand finals night held on October 5 at Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.


Ahtisa may not have won the crown and the title, but she was declared Miss Cosmo 2024’s Cosmo People’s Choice and the Cosmo Tea Culture Tourism Ambassador.


Indonesia’s Ketut Permata Juliastrid is Miss Cosmo 2024, while Thailand’s Mook Karnruethai Tassabut was 1st Runner-Up.





For the evening gown segment, Ahtisa wore another creation by Filipino designer Mak Tumang, as styled by Patty Yap. Describing the idea behind the sexy, 'iridescent' masterpiece, Mak shared on social media, 'Just as stars and galaxies display a spectrum of hues against the dark void, iridescent surfaces change with light and angle, creating a magical interplay.'

Earlier in the competition, during their scheduled rehearsal in Vietnam, Ahtisa sprained her ankle; despite that, she recovered and nailed her pasarela (runway walk) in her evening gown. During that segment at the Miss Cosmo 2024 grand finals night, host Kylie Verzosa introduced the representative from the Philippines, saying, 'Ahtisa is an entrepreneur who co-founded a food and beverage company at the age of 21. Today, her company provides jobs and opportunities for thousands of Filipinos. Ahtisa is partnered with Alon Akademie, an organization dedicated to empowering Filipino youth to pursue their dreams through holistic education, showcasing her dedication to empowering her community. Her story serves as an inspiration to others, proving that one’s life circumstances do not define their potential. Through her work and advocacy, she aims to inspire individuals like herself to dream big and pursue their aspirations fearlessly.'



Many pageant fans have expressed their disappointment about the results. But Ahtisa prefers to look at the brighter side of things. On her Instagram Broadcast Channel, she wrote, 'Hi loves! Let's remember that everything won’t always go our way. But what defines us is how we react and act. Let’s focus on the positive things! Spread love only!'


Ahtisa previously represented the Philippines at Miss International 2018 and took the 1st Runner-Up spot. She joined Miss Universe Philippines 2024, ending that journey as 2nd Runner-Up; she was later appointed as Miss Cosmo Philippines 2024.



Congratulations for a job well done, Ahtisa!
