Captured by the talented Seven Barretto, the stunning portraits feature Ahtisa in the same glamorous pink ombré Val Taguba gown she wore during the finals, proudly donning her Miss Universe Philippines crown. Her radiant glow and poised elegance have once again reaffirmed why she’s truly a queen.
The photos have caused a stir online, drawing admiration from fans and fellow beauty queens alike. Among those who celebrated her latest shoot were pageant veterans and queens including Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa, MUPH 2025 first runner-up Winwyn Marquez, Miss Supranational 2023 first runner-up Pauline Amelinckx, Miss Eco International Philippines 2026 Gabbi Carballo, and Miss World Philippines 2022 Gwendolyne Fourniol.
