Ahtisa Manalo gives off queenly vibes on Mega magazine's June cover
On Instagram, the fashion magazine shared the cover of their Trendsetters And Trailblazers issue where they honor the personalities "who define what's next and dare to do what hasn't been done."
In the cover photo taken by photographer Mark Ducay, the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 donned a pink sculptural gown by Jaggy Glarino and jewelry pieces from Jewelmer.
'She fell—but she rose poised like royalty,' Mega wrote in the caption.
'Midway through her evening gown walk at Miss Universe Philippines 2025, Ahtisa Manalo hit the floor with just one instinct: get up. And when she did, the cheers shook the room. What could've broken her became the very moment she claimed the crown. A queen was born,' the magazine added.
According to Mega, the cover story will follow the rise, fall, and reign of Ahtisa.
After three attempts, the beauty queen from Quezon Province was finally crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2025 early this May.
She will represent the Philippines in Miss Universe 2025, which will take place on November 21 at the Impact Muong Thong Thani Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

‘Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre': Adamus recovers his memories after demanding truth from Imaw
Adamus (Kelvin Miranda) has finally regained his lost memories. Friday's episode of 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' showed Imaw confessing to Flamarra (Faith Da Silva) that Adamus was indeed alive and had been hidden away, his memories erased. He explained that he only did this to keep Adamus from acting on his growing desire to fight and ultimately to protect him from the clutches of Mitena (Rhian Ramos). The truth was also revealed to Adamus. Furious, he demanded that his memories be restored, and Imaw obliged. In the mortal world, Terra (Bianca Umali) continued to fend off her enemies, fighting strategically and using her ivictus (teleport) skill multiple times to outmaneuver her attackers. However, her battle turned personal when her beloved Lolo Javier (Boboy Garrovillo) was shot. In a gut-wrenching scene, she stayed by his side in the ambulance, urging him to fight for his life as he slipped in and out of consciousness. Later, as Lolo Javier was brought to the operating room, Terra promised to wait with her Nanay Mona (Manilyn Reynes), who had just regained consciousness. Terra, overwhelmed by the chaos around her, was visibly furious over what the bad guys had done to her family. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs weeknights on GMA Prime at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it on YouTube via the Kapuso Stream. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News

Maxene Magalona marked National Tattoo Day by sharing the story behind her first-ever tattoo, which she got to commemorate the first death anniversary of her father, the late Francis Magalona, who passed away in 2009 due to leukemia. On Instagram Thursday, she posted a photo of the tattoo on her left wrist, which reads 'La fille à Papa" or daddy's girl in French. "I chose this language because one of my Dad's nicknames was France and had it done by one of his first tattoo artists [Myke Sambajon] of [P&P Tattoo]," she wrote in the caption. According to Maxene, she got this tattoo during a difficult point in her life. "I was extremely depressed and wanted to leave this world after Papa passed away. That was why I made sure to put the tattoo on my wrist so that I can be reminded that my Dad is always be with me no matter how sad I feel," she said. The tattoo, per Maxene, reminds her that her dad is always with her in spirit. In her post, she also shared a photo of her mom Pia Magalona's wrist tattoo and her dad's back tattoo. "Swipe to see my mom [Pia's] butterfly tattoo with hearts to represent each of her 8 children and my Dad's most iconic tattoo '3 Stars and A Sun' by tattoo artist Leon Agusto aka Pido." Maxene added that getting inked doesn't make a person bad, believing that it's a courageous way of expressing oneself. "It makes you authentic and even more unique," she said.

She has also spoken about the wonders of yoga and how the practice helped her through her challenges. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
