Olivia YACE therefore relinquishes her title of Miss Universe Africa & Oceania, effective immediately.
Miss Olivia YACE, Miss Universe Africa & Oceania 2025, will formally return her Africa & Oceania sash to the organization to ensure that no one is unaware of this and to attest to this joint decision.
Done in Bangkok on Monday, November 24, for all legal purposes.
✨ Miss Universe Asia Crown Gets Passed Twice; ✨
According to Sources Miss Universe Philippines 2025, Ahtisa Manalo, has officially declined the promotion to Miss Universe Asia,
The continental crown was first offered to Miss Thailand, who also declined after requesting transparency on judges’ scores — a request the Miss Universe Organization could not grant due to nondisclosure agreements. With both Thailand and the Philippines stepping aside, Miss China accepted the title as the next highest scorer among Asian delegates.
