The 47th Miss InterContinental and her KISS 102.3 FM Radio Interview

When news came that Ms. Karen Juanita Boyonas Gallman would be jetting in to Bohol for her triumphant homecoming & thanksgiving visit, Your Roving Eye took it as just another news assignment to cover and to report on.

Who would have thought that it would be an encounter of a lifetime? As I headed off to the Panglao Airport for the arrival of the latest addition to Bohol’s pride, my mind brought me back to that fateful month a year ago when Ms. Gallman became the second Boholana to be crowned a Bb Pilipinas titleholder. She was Bb Pilipinas- InterContinental 2018 which meant she was to represent the country in the pageant assignment that has been very elusive to the Filipina. The best finish ever by a Filipina in Miss InterContinental was by Christi Mc Garry and Katarina Rodriguez as 1^st RU in 2015 and 2018, respectively.

Anyway, we were able to squeeze into Ms. Gallman’s very tight three- day schedule in her home province a quick visit and interview at the Bohol Chronicle Radio Corp. office before proceeding to Ubay for her homecoming visit. The formidable task of interviewing the first Boholana international pageant titleholder on air fell into my lap at the last- minute.

And so there I was right at the office to meet Ms. Gallman, her mom Editha Boyonas and Maria Vanessa Aumentado, wife of Cong. Aris Aumentado who facilitated and organized the homecoming along with the LGU of Ubay and the LGU of Panglao.

After presenting Ms. Gallman copies of the Bohol Chronicle issue that bannered her Miss InterContinental triumph, we sat her down at the KISS 102.3 FM's deejay's booth and briefed her on the quick radio interview.
