My family loves me. My friends love me. I can provide for myself and I can give myself a good life. So this person that&#x27;s going to come in my life has to give me something more.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-27" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJRMoSiSGPK/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A27%2C%22os%22%3A12142607.100000024%2C%22ls%22%3A46601.89999997616%2C%22le%22%3A46613.60000002384%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="882" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-27" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Ahtisa won the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 crown on May 2.</p><p>In the same interview, Ahtisa opened up about the shift in mindset she brought to this year&#x27;s pageant, reflecting on how it differed from her approach the previous year and how it may have contributed to her success.</p><p>&quot;This year I made sure I wasn&#x27;t in my head.

I was more feeling, I was more experiencing than thinking and planning,&quot; she highlighted.</p><p>She emphasized that stepping on stage felt more natural this time. &quot;You&#x27;ve practiced for it so many times, you already know what to do. It&#x27;s muscle memory, so at that time you just got to experience it and like hear people shouting for you, and like living in it,&quot; she relayed.</p>
