Ngayong tapos na ang beauty pageant journey… AHTISA, seryoso na sa pag-aartista at dream maka-partner si ALDEN

PUMIRMA na ng kontrata sa Sparkle GMA Artist Center si Ahtisa Manalo, ang reigning Miss Universe 3rd runner-up.
Ayon kay Ahtisa, dapat ay last year pa siya pipirma sa Sparkle pero mas pinili niya na muna ang sumali sa Miss Universe Philippines 2025.
And last year, ni-represent ni Ahtisa ang Pilipinas sa Miss Universe sa Bangkok, Thailand kung saan kinoronahan siya bilang 3rd runner-up.
At ngayon ngang tapos na ang kanyang beauty pageant journey (yes, hindi na siya sasali pang muli sa anumang pageant, matapos ring manalo bilang 2018 Miss International 1st runner-up, 2024 Miss Universe Philippines 2nd runner-up at 2024 Miss Cosmo top ten) ay ang pag-aartista na ang haharapin niya sa tulong ng Sparkle.
Anong genre ang nais niyang i-explore bilang artista?
“I’ve always been fascinated of action movies.
“And hopefully that’s something I could explore. You know, I wanted to be a Charlie’s Angel when I was a kid so if I will be given the opportunity I’d love to do that, you know.
“It’s time for adventure, it’s time to see what I can do and not,” ang tumatawang sinabi pa ni Ahtisa.
Ang ‘Charlie’s Angels’ ay action TV series tungkol sa tatlong babaeng private investigators/detectives na pinagbidahan nina Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith at Farrah Fawcet-Majors (1976-1981), at nagkaroon ito ng dalawang film versions, una ay nina Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu at Cameron Diaz (2000 at 2003), at ang pangalawa ay nina Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott at Ella Balinska (2019).
Inamin naman ng beauty queen na si Alden Richards ang dream leading man niya.
Samantala, present sa contract signing ni Ahtisa sina GMA Network Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group and President and CEO of GMA Pictures Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, First Vice President of Sparkle GMA Artist Center Joy Marcelo, and Empire Artist Management Vice President Mau De Leon.
Nandun din sina Sparkle GMA Artist Center’s Senior Assistant Vice President For Talent Sales, Branding, and Marketing Anne Puno-Ignacio, Assistant Vice President for Talent Management Vic Del Rosario, Assistant Vice President for Talent Development and Recruitment Jenny Donato, Assistant Vice President for Sales and Marketing Renze Banawa, Consulting Head for Talent Imaging and Marketing Lawrence Tan,
