Bago ang coronation night ng Binibining Pilipinas 2018, si Vickie ang isa sa hinuhulaang mananalo at makakakuha ng alinman sa anim na beauty titles.

Si Catriona Gray ang nag-uwi ng pinakamahalagang korona bilang Miss Universe Philippines 2018.

Ang iba pang mga nanalo ay sina Ma. Athisa Manalo (Bb. Pilipinas-International 2018), Karen Gallman (Bb. Pilipinas-Intercontinental 2018), Michele Gumabao (Bb. Pilipinas-Globe 2018),
Eva Patalinjug (Bb. Pilipinas-Grand International 2018), at Jehza Huelar (Bb. Pilipinas-Supranational 2018).

Second runner-up naman si Samantha Bernardo.

Binatikos ang naging sagot ni Karen Gallman sa question-and-answer portion ng patimpalak.

Tinanong siya tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng pangatlong restroom para sa transgenders.

Sagot ni Karen, “I definitely agree there should be a third restroom for transgender. Because us women would also like a privacy, and also with men.

"And also we have a separate room for the transgender. It just serves as equality and privatization. Thank you."

Dahil dito, marami ang nagsasabing dapat ay si Vickie na lamang ang binigyan ng Bb. Pilipinas-Intercontinental 2018 title at hindi si Karen.

Mas maganda raw kasi ang naging sagot ni Vickie sa tanong sa kanya.

Sa ekslusibong panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay Vickie sa pamamagitan ng Facebook Messenger kahapon, Marso 21, sinabi niyang hindi siya dapat ikumpara kay Karen.

Pahayag niya, “Karen is my friend and she deserves it.

“Everyone worked hard for a crown.

“I believe she knows what she really meant, and she is someone who doesn’t want to offend anybody."

Dagdag ni Vickie, “It’s just that it is not easy to stand in front of many people, it is really nerve-racking to be on stage.”

FIRST RUNNER-UP FINISH. Bago maging kandidata sa Binibining Pilipinas 2018, lumaban at nanalo na si Vickie bilang Mutya ng Pilipinas 2011.

Sa kabuuan, naging magandang karanasan daw ang pagsali niya sa Binibining Pilipinas dahil na rin sa mga taong bumubuo nito.

Aniya, “My experience in Binibining Pilipinas is a lot different from the other pageants I’ve joined.

“I can really feel the love of a mother from Madamme Stella Marquez Araneta.

“She is so caring and so protective of us.

“I love how she makes sure we are happy with what we are wearing.”

Dugtong pa ni Vickie, “About winning, I believe it is everyone’s goal and everyone is deserving of a spot, they are all amazing women.

“Being first runner up is an accomplishment.”

Ano naman ang reaksiyon niya sa mga nagsasabing dapat ay sumali siya ulit sa Binibining Pilipinas sa 2019?

Tugon niya, “At first, I don't know how to react or what to feel.

"But, nakakatuwa na naniniwala sila sa akin at gusto pa nila ulit ako makita sa Binibining Pilipinas stage."
