After topping the “First Station” of the 2024 Miss Cosmo pageant’s “Cosmo People’s Choice” poll, the Philippines’ Ahtisa Manalo settled for the third spot in the second stage of voting dubbed “National Pride.”

Tanzania’s Lujeyn Ahmed amassed the most votes and will receive an exclusive media promotion package “to showcase herself and her country.” 

Ahmed, Manalo, and Thailand’s Mook Karnruethai Tassabut, who placed second in the poll, have also earned a “Hope Star” that will double their points during the final stage called “Big Bang.”

“Remember, voting points from both The First Station and National Pride will carry forward to The Big Bang, determining who will earn a coveted spot in the Top 10 Finalists. Stay tuned, and get ready for the ultimate stage: THE BIG BANG,” the Miss Cosmo pageant said on social media.

Manalo has already earned a Hope Star when she topped the first stage of the online poll. She also enjoyed a private photoshoot, a VIP party and 24-hour media team support. She also took over the pageant’s Instagram page for 24 hours.

The winner in the third and final round of the “Cosmo People’s Choice” poll will earn a guaranteed slot in the Top 10. A sure spot in the Top 21, meanwhile, is at stake in race for the “Cosmo Social Ambassador” award.

For the other poll, the delegates are divided into groups, with the winners in each group advancing to the final stage of voting. Manalo has already amassed more that a million votes for the “Cosmo Social Ambassador” award.

The 2024 Miss Cosmo coronation night will be held at the Phu Tho Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City on Oct. 5. Filipino actress and beauty queen Kylie Verzosa, 2016 Miss International winner, will host the ceremonies.
