A Filipina from Leyte, she represents a modern profile of pageantry defined by maturity, poise, and strong stage discipline. While her exact age and height have not been officially disclosed, pageant media widely describe her as a seasoned candidate who returned to competition with renewed purpose and confidence.
Her pageant journey is rooted in regional competitions, where she built experience and visibility before earning a national title. Prior to her national win, Christina competed in Mutya han Samar, finishing as First Runner-Up, and also took part in Miss Leyte Liberation, performances that helped establish her as a credible and competitive presence. These experiences culminated in her crowning as Miss Intercontinental Philippines 2025, granting her the right to represent the country on the international stage at Miss Intercontinental, one of the longest-running global beauty competitions.
Although Christina has not formally announced a specific advocacy platform, her public appearances and affiliations align closely with the traditional Mutya ng Pilipinas values of community upliftment, womenβs empowerment, and cultural pride. Her candidacy reflects the increasing acceptance of diverse life stages in pageantry, reinforcing the idea that representation is strengthened by depth, resilience, and authenticity.
The Philippines has a distinguished history at Miss Intercontinental. The country has produced two international winnersβKaren Gallman in 2018 and Cinderella ObeΓ±itaβand continues to achieve consistent high placements, including a Second Runner-Up finish in 2024. The current franchise holder, Mutya ng Pilipinas, carries forward this legacy by selecting delegates with strong regional grounding and international readiness.
In this context, Christina LabareΓ±o Vanhefflin enters Miss Intercontinental 2025 not only as a national titleholder, but as part of a proven Philippine tradition of excellenceβbringing experience, composure, and credibility to one of the worldβs most established beauty pageant stages.
