The Queens have arrived! Drag Race Philippines has been the talk of the town for almost a month now, and if you’re still hesitant to join the hype train because you might not understand, let us break it down to you.
Let’s start from the beginning, RuPaul’s Drag Race. It is an American Reality competition tv series, where RuPaul plays the host and head judge, as drag queen contestants are given different challenges each week. Queens are competed to different variety of drag performance, and usually, when there are two bottom queens in the competition, they have to Lip Sync for Your Life, where they show their most “Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent” (C.U.N.T) through lip syncing. It is an overall entertaining show and displays a lot of talented queers in to light.

That is what Drag Race Philippines adapted. Even though it is adapted from an American show, Drag Race Philippines also showcases its Filipino-likeness. The language, the jokes, and themes are all Filipino based that will make you belly ache from laughing. Prime example is the “Shake, Rattle and Rampa” where they need to showcase Filipino Urban Legends. And THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
