Krishnah Gravidez is Miss Charm Philippines 2023

Krishnah Gravidez, who represented Baguio in the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 competition, just took home the Miss Charm Philippines 2023 crown!

The coronation ceremony took place after Michelle Dee from Makati was crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2023.

In the Q&A portion, Krishnah was asked: "Transwomen athletes are now being allowed to compete in women's sports events in many international competitions. Do you think that this is a step in the right direction? Why or why? Not?"

She answered, "I am all for equality with all genders, and I believe that we have the right to participate in any sports. However, I believe that there's a biological reason that we should not allow transwomen in women category, because I believe that there is a right time for that and there's right measurements to be done. Thank you."

The candidates were then asked the same question: "Recently, the Department of Tourism has adopted a new branding campaign, '"We give the world our best.' For you, what is the best that we could offer to the rest of the world? Why do you consider it so?"

During her turn, Krishnah responded, "Having to struggle at a very early age, I had uncertainties but I receive kindness a lot of times. So now, aside from it's free, I give kindness to everyone. Because this kindness can go a long way, can motivate someone, or can give radiance to their days. Because this kindness also made me transform myself from a woman who had nothing, to a lady that has the universe in her doorstep."

Congratulations, Krishnah!
