10 'Drag Race Philippines' moments that live rent-free in our heads (INQUIRER.net)

It seems like yesterday when we were only waiting for Drag Race Philippines to premiere, and everyone was excited to meet the queens...

(My answer is—this is my favorite—flounder fish.)” (You know, when I heard the word ‘snatch,’ I woke up and got up to participate!),” the Filipina bombshell said. Not to mention, it’s also one of the hardest as it’s all about impersonating a celebrity, improv-ing your way through the challenge, and making people laugh. Another queen was Xilhouete who sashayed to the runway holding a tiyanak in her hand. The first team called Pink Pussy Energy (PPE) was composed of Precious Paula Nicole, Viñas, Minty Fresh, Gigi Era, and Xilhouete. The first queen was Precious Paula Nicole, who was dressed as a pregnant tiyanak named Chona K. It was even included in the Philippines iTunes Top Song with Flexomb Girls’ version in the second spot, and Pink Pussy Energy’s placed in the 11th. She then started to ask questions out of the blue. So seeing a challenge like that in the Philippine franchise is exciting. And now, the first season is about to end with only four queens—Eva Le Queen, Marina Summers, Precious Paula Nicole, and Xilhouete—left. Aside from the drama between Minty Fresh and Brigiding, new meme-able content from Viñas and Corazon was also born. In the second episode, the queens were tasked to design an outfit and arch inspired by Flores de Mayo.

'Drag Race Philippines' episode 10 recap: You're a winner, baby (Rappler)

The Philippines' first-ever drag reality show comes to an end with an emotional, empowering lipsync battle.

It didn’t come without a hitch, and there are lots of things to be improved upon, but ultimately, we’re celebrating the long-overdue spotlight that now shines on the Philippines’ hardworking drag queens, finally. Eva holds her own as she dances across the stage, but in the end, the winner is clear even before Mamwa Pao announces that Precious gets to shantay. In her parting words, she says: “Life is precious and so are we. Xilhouete wears a flouncy assymetrical gown made of piña fabric and accesorizes with a taxidermied headdress. Precious serves a Dinagyang-inspired neon look made from local materials. Lady Morgana is named the first Drag Race Philippines Miss Congeniality – cue one big chorus of “Dasuuurv” – and in true Morgana fashion, she moves viewers to tears with her heartfelt speech that ended with her giving everyone a “Dalaygon.” Then comes Marina and Xilhouete’s battle, set appropriately to “Call Me Mother.” Marina starts off wearing a heavy tulle dress, but steps out of it soon enough to reveal a feathered and stoned bodysuit that allows her to vogue and strut and twirl all over the stage. Determined by the spin of the wheel, Precious Paula Nicole is paired against Eva Le Queen for the first lipsync round, leaving recently-reconciled drag mother and daughter Xilhouete and Marina to go at it in round two. Marina also goes the piña route in an evening gown made of the fabric, beaded with capiz, and accentuated with a banig train. Marina Summers walks out tsinelas-purse first with a relatively plain look inspired by tumbang preso – a red tight mini dress, a “Sana Marina Corned tuna” de lata headdress, and a pair of tsinelas with which to quickly play the game on stage. For the first look, category is: “Bongga Camp ‘Day” and Precious Paula Nicole kicks off the runway, walking in a ball gown inspired by the Girl Scouts of the Philippines. In true Drag Race fashion, the show’s main host Paolo Ballesteros emerges in a big red ballgown and turns out her own lipsync performance to Zsa Zsa Padilla’s quintessentail ‘80s hit “Point of No Return” – complete with a ruveal into a mosaic bodysuit.

Alam mo ‘yun parang drag is like a lot of the time a one-person production, and it’s nice that drag is finally getting the recognition for all the hard work that’s been put into it.” Eva added that the love for drag is just a matter of access. Can you teach me?’ And a lot of young ones are actually looking up to those who are being seen by the mainstream already, so it’s very hopeful.” “It’s nice to see that the drag community is finally getting the recognition it deserves,” Myx Chanel said. “[It’s] very hopeful not just for myself,” said drag artist Tita Baby, “but especially for the young ones who message me on social media: ‘Tita, can you be my drag mother? “Even before the pandemic there were still bars [that] monopolized the art of drag,” she said. “Ang swerte na natin ngayon na we get to have ‘Drag Race’ and we have queens [who] are more vocal and straightforward when it comes to taking drag as a business, as a franchise,” Eva said. She then booted Eva Le Queen out of contention in the first lip-sync battle to the tune of “Sissy That Walk” by RuPaul. “Before they announced the winner, I was really expecting a different name, not mine,” said the Bicolana drag queen. “Tonight is a celebration of not just whoever wins the crown,” said Top 4 finalist Eva Le Queen during her entrance walk at the event. For the last round of the “Lip Sync for the Crown,” Precious went head-to-head with Marina Summers, performing Gloc-9’s “Sirena” and eventually claiming the victory. “This is a win for all the drag kids, for all the [members of the] LGBTQIA+ [community] who are told that we are not good enough.
