She also speaks Khmer, French, and English fluently.
With the national competiton, Manita marked her comeback to pageantry as previously she she represented her country at Miss Tourism Metropolitan International 2016 and placed as the second runner-up. Manita's pageant expertise, mixed ethnicity, and therefore cultural experience, along with her breathtaking beauty, would undoubtedly make her a strong delegate for the international platform.

Despite a strong delegation and a well-received performance throughout the journey, Ngin did not qualify for the semifinals and finished unplaced. This year Manita will represent the country at the 71st Miss Universe platform, scheduled to be held later this year.
