Here's A Complete Transcript Of The Miss Universe PH 2025 Top 6 Answers

ICYMI: Our representative for the Miss Universe 2025 competition has just been crowned, and it's Ma. Ahtisa Manalo of Quezon Province! But before the crown was turned over from Miss Universe Philippines 2024 Chelsea Manalo, the Top 6 contenders had to go through the much-awaited Q&A portion, where we can see just how poised they are under pressure (read: that 30-second time limit!). Aside from Ahtisa, the other contenders were Chelsea Fernandez (Sultan Kudarat), Yllana Aduana (Siniloan, Laguna), Teresita Ssen Marquez (Muntinlupa City), Katrina Llegado (Taguig City), and Gabriella Mai Carballo (Cebu City).

Miss Sultan Kudarat: In our generation, youth has a strong personality. They have the power to choose and vote for the right leaders. That's why tonight I would like to encourage our youth to be wise in selecting our leaders, because when we are very wise about this, we can reach the tip of the universe, and the Philippines would definitely be progressive and productive as well. Thank you and good evening Philippines.

Miss Siniloan, Laguna: I've always known myself to be a committed advocate for education, and I would definitely promote education empowerment across all genders in our municipality, because we all understand that education is the key to opening multiple doors of opportunities, the power that no one can ever take away from us, and the solution to feel more empowered and transformed. Thank you. 

Miss Muntinlupa City: We should look for someone who has integrity—someone who puts people's welfare first before their own political wants and own needs. We should have a leader that is not politics as usual, but someone who will always put other people's wants and needs [first]. Thank you.

Miss Taguig City: Women today deserve a seat in a table. This time, babae naman. We are at par with men, we are trailblazers, we are leaders, and I think women are definitely a power, a force in the universe. Thank you.

Miss Cebu City: As I've gotten older, I've learned that the most important thing is the posture of your heart. You have to ask yourself: "Am I putting out the best version of myself into the world, and is that something that is helping other people?" I don't think there's a reason that we have to live on this earth when we're not impacting people positivitely, and so I hope all of us can move forward, save people next to us, and move to a better place in our society. Because as Filipinos, we can place love above all. 

Miss Quezon Province: I fell awhile ago on stage, and the thing with me is whenever I fall in life, I always make sure I come back stronger. Last year, I was here on this stage, and for the second time this year, I'm here putting everything on this stage to be Miss Universe Philippines, because this is mine and my grandmother's shared dream. And she passed away early this year. And this is my ode to her.
