Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2018 Karen Gallman explains controversial answer.
KAREN GALLMAN – Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2018 Karen Gallman explained and clarified her intriguing answer when asked about transgenders.
On Sunday, March 18, the prestigious Binibining Pilipinas 2018 has been held and announced the winners who will represent the country in the international pageantry.
Catriona Gray was hailed as Miss Universe Philippines 2016.
Other winners were the following:
- Bb. Pilipinas International 2018 – Ma. Ahtiza Manalo
- Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2018 – Michele Gumabao
- Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2018 – Karen Gallman
- Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2018 – Eva Patalinjug
- Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2018 – Jehza Huelar
- First runner-up: Vickie Marie Rushton
- Second runner-up: Samantha Bernardo
However, even though the answers of the candidates were impressive, there are still those who were able to create a controversy out of their winning answers.
It is for the fact that some questions tackle sensitive issues and topics.
Just like the question that was thrown at Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2018 Karen Gallman.
She was asked, “Do you agree that a third restroom should be built for transgenders? Why or why not?
Gallman answered, “I definitely agree there should be a third restroom for transgender because as women, we would like privacy, and also with men. We have a separate room for the transgenders to serve as equality and privatization.”

Thus, after winning the title and the pageant, she clarified and explained in an interview that she meant “privacy” and it’s just that she was nervous and also expecting a different question.
“I meant to say privacy. But because I was just so nervous. I was just expecting a different question. Nabigla lang ako. So, I was meant to say privacy and I believed equality for everyone,” she said.
