These days, all sorts of rumors and wish lists are aplenty in the pageant world, Omicron notwithstanding. It’s almost as if the ladies being mentioned as potential joiners are immune to the COVID-19 variant and free to go through their trainings, photoshoots and the like under any alert level. Truth be told, they are just as cautious of what’s happening around us.
Be that as it may, former BbPilipinas International Ahtisa Manalo is being egged on to finally push through with Miss Universe Philippines this year.
We’ll see. She recently came out in the open with her good-looking boyfriend Marco Suarez with an IG post as proof. Is she even keen on adding a significant division to her already busy skeds between business (Koomi) and love life?

Ahtisa with boyfriend Marco Suarez
Is her boyfriend a member or an apo of the Suarez political clan of Quezon province? What’s up with these beauty queens getting entangled with politicians. Isabela galeria is also in a relationship with the younger Villafuerte, the same with Rachel Peters. Ohmygattt Yedda Sabete ang mga peg nila.
Dapat Caucasian ang asawahin ni Galeria. Paano na lang kanyang mga anak? Hindi kagwapuhan ang mga Villafuerte. He, he, he…
Yun na nga. Sobrang basic ang magiging hitsura ng anak nila.
Salamat Lymaraina. Magandang umaga sa iyo. He, he, he…
Norman may nagbabasa ba rito ng mga handler ni Galeria? Thanks. Good morning to you.
Yes
Salamat Norman for the fast reply. Also to your staff. Magandang umaga sa inyong lahat.
@ paul & @ Lymaraina Good morning, guys.
You would be surprised how some of the most beautiful individuals in the world came from the plainest-looking parents.
And not all biracial/multi-racial blends are outstanding. You can ask any hybrid-ist/izer, plant or animal (I do not know the correct suffix to use…).
Nabuhay si Flor Tula sa post na ito. He, he, he…
Pero flor mas mataas ang rate na gaganda o lalong gaganda ang mga anak kung Caucasian mapapangasawa mo.
I have been following many bi-racial (half filipino) family vloggers on YT. Mga anak nila magaganda at gwapo. Basta Caucasian mapapangasawa mo. Kung hindi… He, he, he…
If Ruffa Gutierrez was sent to MU instead of MW, who would have ranked higher in MU ?
>Dayanara or Ruffa ?
honest answer/(opinion) , it would be a very very close fight … both sexy , both tall 5’8 vs 5’10 , both able to project 100% on stage , both 18 years old back then ,… but for Q&A , I would give a slight advantage to Ruffa …
Sayang ano? Ruffa should’ve been Miss World. If she was sent to Miss Universe, she would’ve likely won too.
Ruffa should have been the rightful winner as Miss World 1993. But because of racial politics she was just proclaimed 2nd princess. The Morleys wanted to help South Africa change its global image on racism.
The Jamaica delegate kind of deserves to be in the top 5 , but the South Africa , that was just wrong ranking higher than Ruffa to top it all off , … if Ruffa was in MU , the last three standing should have been Dayanara, Ruffa and Australia … honestly, during the pageant and before the pageant, Dayanara was not registering on me , not even a favorite that year in the pageant world .. BUT when she won, her beauty is undeniable , especially those beautiful eyes …
Ruffa in MU 1993? Pwedeng siya ang winner or top 3 din. Ty.
MWP suits her, and try again to MUP in 2024
Good point. Thanks.
Very good suggestion. I just hope the handlers of Ahtisa are reading the comments here.
I was expecting her to comeback and join mwp. if she win mw then good. if not comeback for mup after 1 or 2 years. sure na ang mw sa march noh? good thing mwp2022 is still not active by that time. If manalo si tracy sa mw i think mag mup nalang si ahtisa because alanganin ang b2b sa mw. if not. then join mwp2022. Kasi baka tamarin na si ahtisa sumali ng mup kapag pinadala sya sa mw tapos waley. hirap ang ph sa top 5 placement sa mw. b2b pa kaya. So. to sum up my opinion. Gusto ko sya sumali na sa mup pero she has more time pa naman to be more prepared. Pero if she is more ready na then GO. Pero mas gusto ko mwp muna.
Aray ko nahilo ako sa comment mo jed
Palipat-lipat siya sa rainbow. He, he, he…
I find her beauty the cutie type which I think suits her to MW. Although, the current MU is a “cutie.”
I think magugustuhan din siya ni JM fo her MW.
She is very pretty and sweet looking like Megan Young.
I prefer her for MW. Para naman magka-two crowns na tayo. Hehehe. In any case, sana wag na siya maging tuta ni Jonas and be an independent strong woman. Why would she file an application for MUP 2020 only to revoke it within 24 hours due to health reason pero nasa bar naman umiinom when she announced her withdrawal. INTEGRITY is a must for a beauty queen or any profession Ahtisa.
MWP muna siya this year. She has until 2025 to join MUP.
We are all entitled to change our mind about anything. Baka 50-50 yun decision niay noon to apply pero meron na siya dinadamdam health-wise. It happens to all of us.
I think may higher force na nagsabi sa kanya na huwag muna niya ituloy. He, he, he…

Ahtisa is excellent for Miss World. She is also very good for Supra and/or RHA. Or even Miss Eco… So many options for her at MWP as compared to MUP.
I think the decision to join should seriously come from her and NOT because she’s prodded.
You have also the good point my dear. Kung gusto niya talaga, so be it.
As a province mate, my wish is for her to consider another year as she is still young anyway. If she is to consider joining MUP, she has yet to build her personal brand into a power brand–with distinct imagery of someone with a commanding presence everywhere, and still appear very relatable and accommodating. This brand essence can be built around her being a successful young socially-responsible entrepreneur. Until a solid, distinct and clear image of a confidently beautiful businesswoman Ahtisa Manalo evolved, I believe, it is not yet an opportune time for her to join MUP.
On the other hand, she may consider MWP because I see MW as MI “with a purpose”
Absolutely Yes!
Kelan pa ba? Kung kelan sagaran na edad niya?
Although may pagka-maldita ang bilat na ito, I believe she can deliver result!
And although not a spokesmodel material, she’s a Top 5 MU material!
So far, siya palang ang nakikinita ko to wear the Philippine sash!
She owns Koomi pala! I am a suki. And she has lots of food and beverage businesses pala, and so young at that. Good job.
She doesn’t “own” it she’s the chief financial officer of Koomi Philippines. It’s an Australian brand fyi.
I know it’s an Australian brand. Baka naman franchisor?
Shes not even pretty. Something odd on her face. She doesnt have the communication skills.
She is very pretty and doll like, the reason the Japanese judges like her. Naungusan lang kunti ni Venezuela.
Ahtisa’s facial beauty screams Miss World. The thing is, if Bella Ysmael joins Miss World Philippines this year, Ahtisa shall rather join next year, so we won’t witness yet another wasted beauty in pageantry.
If Ahtisa is really decided to join MUP, my take is she shall undergo thermage so her face will be contoured. At the moment, my wish is for Patch Magtanong to give pageantry one last shot. If not, Pauline Amelinckx has to take best preparation to bag the MUP crown.
That’s all.
She should join MUP now if her dream really is to become Miss Universe.
My answer is NO. This year, she should join MWP instead . Better if she joins MUP in 2023 or 2025 because years ending in 3 and 5 are luckiest for the Philippines in international pageantry.
Huwag siyang magmadali. She has until 2025 to join MUP. Sa MWP muna siya this year. Bagay siya for MW, Supra and RHA. Good luck!
She is pretty and has a good shot at winning with her being more mature and as a businesswoman.
I think she will bring that modern Filipina cosmopolitan and phenomenal woman brand to the MUP.
And she seems to be a favorite of M5. She has the arsenals to compete against anyone. I just don’t know if MUP will favor her if she moves with the TIC camp being friends with Ian.
Bella or Chella for MUP!!!
Bella MUP 2022
Chella MUP 2023
Patch for MUP 2O22.
Ahtisa for MWP 2022.
Emma for MWP 2022.
Paul , Athisa and Emma look very crisp from head to toe . I cannot say the same for Bea
If Michelle Dee joins this year, then Ahtisa for next year and just mentally and physically prepare now.
If Michelle does not join this year, go ahead as long as Ahtisa is fully prepared as she’ll be frontrunner.
I think huwag muna. Next year perhaps.
Huwag na. Lots of beautiful and smart Filipinas.
