R'Bonney Gabriel's multilingual hosting gig at Miss Universe 2025 is the talk of the town! It seems our former Miss Universe is not only a beauty queen but also a woman of many words, literally! In a recent TikTok video, R'Bonney playfully poked fun at her hosting duties during the Miss Universe 2025 preliminaries, showcasing her impressive linguistic skills.
In the video, she cheekily compiled snippets of her on-stage banter, effortlessly switching between English, Tagalog, Spanish, and Thai. Imagine the quick changes! She even quipped phrases like, “Masaya po ba ang lahat?” (Tagalog for “Is everyone happy?”) and “Hasta Luego” (Spanish for “See you later.”). Her caption? A simple, yet witty, “When you put ‘multilingual’ in your résumé.”
But it wasn't just R'Bonney who stole the show. Philippine bet Ahtisa Manalo brought the heat during the national costume, swimsuit, and evening gown rounds.
At the national costume competition, Ahtisa dazzled in a Mak Tumang creation inspired by the vibrant fiesta culture of the Philippines. Talk about a celebration of color and tradition! Then came the swimsuit portion, where Ahtisa's confidence radiated as she strutted the runway in a striking blue two-piece. And finally, the evening gown competition. Ahtisa graced the stage in a breathtaking, form-fitting midnight blue and gold gown, also designed by Mak Tumang. It was a picture of grace and poise.
