Janelis Leyba represented the United States at Miss Asia Pacific International 2024 and competed against 32 other candidates at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines on October 7, 2024. She won the title.
The Miss Asia Pacific International 2025 preliminary competition was supposed to take place at the JPark Island Resort and Water Park in Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines but it was cancelled after the magnitude 6.9 earthquake on September 30, 2025 that shook Cebu City, Philippines while the candidates were there. After the earthquake, Leyba left Cebu City and went back to the U.S.
On October 6, 2025, the preliminary competition was held at the Lapu-Lapu Ballroom of Bai Hotel Cebu in Mandaue City, Philippines. On October 8, 2025, Leyba’s successor Isabela Fernandes of Brazil was crowned by Miss Asia Pacific International 2018 Sharifa Akeel at the Cebu Coliseum in Cebu City.
