Here are Missosology and Sash Factor's final hot picks for Miss Universe Philippines 2025
The Miss Universe Philippines 2025 queen will be crowned in just a few hours! Who's your bet?
Pageant platforms have released their final hot picks for the upcoming pageant, with Ahtisa Manalo, Chelsea Fernandez, Winwyn Marquez, and Yllana Aduana as the top contenders.
Missosology revealed that Manalo of Quezon Province is their top pick for this year's competition, saying that while it might be "counterintuitive" to pick the beauty queen as their top candidate, they saw a "different Ahtisa" this time around.
"She’s regal, more confident, and definitely Miss Universe ready. Remember, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach won the crown on her 3rd attempt," they said. "It could be the biggest comeback of Ahtisa, or this could be the biggest flop in Missosology’s Hot Picks history."
Next on the list are pageant veterans Fernandez of Sultan Kudarat, Aduana of Siniloan, Laguna, Marquez of Muntinlupa, and Taguig City's Katrina Llegado, noting their stellar performance in previous pageants.
Missosology also said that there are a lot of "dark horses" among this year's delegates, adding that Laguna's Eloisa Jauod has a strong chance of winning the crown.
