Karen Gallman dedicates Miss Intercontinental crown to Filipinos: “This crown is not just for me.”
“We did it Philippines!”
Boholano beauty queen Karen Gallman is over the moon after doing the near impossible of capturing the country's first-ever Miss Intercontinental crown.
Karen, half-Pinoy and half-Australian, bested more than 80 countries from around the world for the title during the Miss Intercontinental coronation night held at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City last Saturday, January 26.

On her first Instagram post after her win, Karen admitted that she was overwhelmed with her win and dedicated her crown for the millions of Filipinos supporting her.
She said, “I'm so proud to bring our nation its first Intercontinental crown.
“The overwhelming support from you all has been amazing and I can't thank you all enough nor have done it without you.
“This crown is not just for me, its for all of you and a representation of what we can achieve as a nation.
“Keep pushing to be the best version of yourself by “always looking up to God and being thankful for everything” [heart emoji️].
The Philippines had an awesome record in the Miss Intercontinental pageant in the past years.
StarStruck alumna Koreen Medina placed third runner-up back in 2013.
While reigning Miss World Philippines Katarina Rodriguez almost bagged the title in 2017 but finished as the first-runner up.
Meanwhile, Katarina and former Miss Universe Philippines MJ Lastimosa were the first ones to congratulate their fellow Pinay beauty queen for her historic win.
