The creative team of Miss Ahtisa Manalo, who will soon be competing in Miss Universe 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand, is in a frantic mood about what kind of gimmick they will resort to ...to make her participation competitive.
They were pouring all their creative juices into coming up with the most ingenious and innovative national costume she would wear, one that would jolt the senses of the whole universe, which was expected to draw a beeline just to witness who could dress their selected candidates in the most imaginative national costume possible.
To select a national costume for Miss Universe Philippines, Ahtisa should hold a "powwow" with her team of experts to conceptualize a design that best represents Filipino culture and heritage.
The theme could be any Filipino mythology and folklore, which will provide a framework for creating elaborate but symbolic costumes, with emphasis placed on artistic craftsmanship and the story the costume tells.
The goal is to create a costume, not a traditional "national attire" that will allow significant creative freedom to express the country's diverse culture.
Or the costume could be anything that demonstrates and makes the Philippines unique ... it can even carry a message with political coloring.
The costume can even discuss something related to current political events... or it could be an attire created as an instrument to showcase some dark realities of their lives.
A case of art imitating life.
Here are some suggestions made by Pageant Aficionado. I bet the netizens will have a hard time choosing what costume clicks ... and what costume ticks.
