As a Sparkle GMA artist, Miss Universe Philippines 2025 Ahtisa Manalo has begun attending workshops to develop her acting skills.
Just a few days after signing a talent management contract with Sparkle GMA Artist Center, the beauty queen did not waste time and took on the acting workshop under the Kapuso company.
In the clip shared by Sparkle Workshops on its Instagram page on March 12, Manalo was seen listening and discussing with actress and acting teacher Ana Feleo.
“Newly signed artist Ahtisa Manalo has begun her first acting journey with Ms. Ana Feleo at Sparkle GMA Artist Center,” the caption read.
During her contract signing on March 10, Manalo said she looks forward to working in the action genre. She also named Kapuso actor Alden Richards as her dream leading man.
“I’ve always been fascinated by action movies. And hopefully, that’s something I could explore,” she said. “I wanted to be a Charlie’s Angel when I was a kid. So, if I were given the opportunity, I’d love to do that. It’s time for adventure.”
Prior to entering show business, Manalo had been into pageantry since she was just 10 years old. She competed at the 2025 Miss Universe competition where she finished third runner-up. (Anne Pasajol © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
