continues to hone her Q&amp;A skills, gamely answering pageant questions in a recent vlog.</p><p>The social media star, known to many as &quot;Hipon Girl,&quot; appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel of LGBT couple Famngarap.</p><p>One of the questions given to her was about the idea of trans women joining Bb. Pilipinas, which is currently only open to natural-born women.</p><p>Budol began her answer by reiterating that she loves the LGBT community, and that her view is only one of the many opinions on the controversial issue.</p><p>She then explained why she would rather have trans women take part in another pageant that is exclusive to them.</p><p>Below is her complete answer:</p><p>&quot;Ako para sa akin, in my own opinion lang naman ito, siyempre kanya-kanya tayong opinyon. Pero ang lahat ng gay community, LGBTQIA, ay mahal na mahal ko talaga, sobrang love na love ko &#x27;yang mga &#x27;yan. </p><p>&quot;Para sa akin, nirerespeto ko kung ano &#x27;yung desisyon nila. Pero para sa akin lang ito ha, may pageant para sa kanila na kaya nilang mas panindigan o mas bigyan ng magandang laban... ng hustisya sa pinaglalaban nila sa kanilang gender. </p><p>&quot;Kaya para sa akin, may para sa kanila.&quot;</p><p>Budol went on to ask the Famngarap couple what they thought of her answer, and the latter generally agreed with her.</p><p>&quot;Tama naman, kasi siyempre isasama mo kami sa mga lalaki, doon pa lang sa height talo na kami. Hanggang bewang lang kami noong iba,&quot; one of them said in jest. </p><p>To which &quot;Hipon Girl&quot; responded: &quot;Ayun nga, halimbawa ikaw (trans man) sumali ka sa pageant ng mga lalaki. Tapos sabi mo mga, ikaw short ka. Iba pa rin &#x27;yung tindig ng totoong lalaki. Pero sa puso at isip, lalaki [ka].&quot;</p><p>&quot;Nirerespeto natin &#x27;yan. Doon ako,&quot; she ended.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Herlene Budol (right) answers questions from the Famngarap vlogger couple.

Kasi bukod sa para sa may pang-budget lang &#x27;yon... Halimbawa ako wala akong budget, bakit ko pa ipu-push na magkaroon ako ng ganoon kung kaya kong mag-adopt?</p><p>&quot;Tapos mas makakatulong ako sa kabataan na kulang sa pagmamahal ng magulang, financial, na &#x27;di kayang suportahan &#x27;yung paglaki nila. So ako itong magiging hero nila, magiging magulang nila. Na hindi ko man sila isinilang, kaya ko silang maging tunay na anak sa puso&#x27;t isipan ko. Pagtulong ko na rin sa kapwa-Pilipino,&quot; she said.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/04/26/22/hipon-girl-receives-p100k-from-karen-davila">&#x27;Walang tigil iyak ko&#x27;: &#x27;Hipon Girl&#x27; Herlene Budol receives P100K from Karen Davila</a></li></ul><p>Budol was recently introduced as one of the Top 40 candidates of Binibining Pilipinas 2022, which sends representatives to international pageants such as Miss International.</p><p>Details about the coronation night, such as the date and venue, have yet to be finalized. </p>
