Ahtisa Manalo just revealed a secret talent: she can rap!

On YouTube, Empire Philippines shared a 42-second clip of Ahtisa’s introduction video for the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 pageant.

Aside from the usual getting to know yourself portion, the Quezon native shared a hidden talent of hers which is rapping and singing, specifically to “Stupid Love” by Salbakuta.

“Only my close friends know about this is [that] I can sing the entire lyrics of Salbakuta’s ‘Stupid Love’ by heart,” Ahtisa said.

She then proceeded to prove her claim, and even danced to the iconic song.

Ahtisa is among the 67 candidates that will vie for the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 crown. She is set to represent her hometown Quezon Province for the second time around.

She competed in last year's pageant, and won the title of Miss Cosmo Philippines 2024. Chelsea Manalo was crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2024.

Ahtisa finished in the Top 10 of the Miss Cosmo 2024 pageant.

Meanwhile, the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 coronation night will be held on May 2, 6 p.m., at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

The winner will be crowned by Miss Universe Philippines 2024 and reigning Miss Universe Asia Chelsea Manalo and 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. —Jade Veronique Yap/JCB, GMA Integrated News
