Power of Beauty 2025 Christina Labareño Vanhefflin

Her story

Beyond the pageant world, Christina enjoys yoga, reading and journaling. She is fluent in Tagalog, English and Bisaya, allowing her to connect with people from different backgrounds and communities. She describes herself as a strong, passionate and compassionate woman who believes that true beauty comes from within.

Christina becomes the second “Power of Beauty” titleholder from the Philippines and, remarkably, the second consecutive Philippine representative to achieve the 2nd Runner-Up position at the Miss Intercontinental pageant. Last year’s titleholder, Alyssa Redondo, also came from the Philippines and achieved the same 2nd Runner-Up placement, making Christina’s achievement a remarkable back-to-back success for the country.

The “Power of Beauty” title was launched in 2018 and became an official special award in 2021. But what makes becoming the new “Miss Power of Beauty” so special? The winner receives a direct spot in the Top 7 Final, alongside the continental title award winners.

Christina immediately caught the attention of the jury with her 173 cm height, striking features and captivating presence. But beyond her physical beauty, it was her personality and beliefs that made her stand out.

Christina believes that the most powerful form of beauty is a genuine heart — a heart that cares, loves, helps others and reaches out to those in need. For her, beauty is not simply about appearance; it is about compassion, strength and the ability to inspire others. It is precisely these qualities that made her a deserving recipient of the “Miss Power of Beauty” title.

As the new Miss “Power of Beauty,” Christina will serve as a goodwill ambassador for the Miss Intercontinental Organization, using her platform to raise awareness of issues affecting society. These include the fight against drug abuse, poverty eradication, gender equality, health and nutrition, as well as environmental conservation.

Christina is a happy, adaptable, hardworking and persevering young woman who is passionate about helping and inspiring others. With her beauty, determination and genuine heart, she represents the true meaning behind the Power of Beauty title.

The Miss Intercontinental Organization is proud to welcome Christina Vanhefflin as its newest “Power of Beauty” titleholder and looks forward to seeing her use her voice, heart and influence to make a positive difference.
