Drag Race Philippines (Season 2) Promises More LOOKS, LAUGHS and DRAMA

 

 

I waited for the moment when all the queens of Rupaul's Drag Race Philippines Season 2 were able to come out and do their entrance on the show (which was today). I think they got the hint from other franchises that people tend to have a hard time connecting with queens when they put them all out in one go. This was certainly a bit overwhelming for a viewer, but super exciting to see if drag queens from the Philippines would do well, but without question, since they already got their second season right?

 

 

 I had my favorites like veterans Captivating Kat Kat, Bernie and DeeDee Marie Holiday. I also enjoyed the gorgeous Miss Jade So who actually knows what she's doing, all the terms and outfits are just fit to a T.  The comedy of Arizona Brandy who went in with a bottle of brandy hooked to her was just bonkers. I also love the weird good aesthetics of OV Cxnt (those horns really remind me of my website kumagcow LOL). I have yet to see what Hana Beshie, Matilduh, Tiny Deluxe, Veruschka Levels actually have up their sleeve. Sad to see Astrid Mercury and Nicole Pardaux had to exit the show early since they got booted out in the first and second episodes.

We also got to cover the first 6 as they did their runway walk, they did bring their crazy outfits and certainly got us excited to see the first episode. Check out our video coverage of the event here!

Adding to the lovely evening, the appearance of the Season 1 Queens, plus first ever RPDR Philippines Queen of Queens, Precious Paula Nicole who also gave a speech to encourage the second season queens to give their best on the show. Host Mama Pao aka Paolo Ballesteros also asked the contestants to start their engines, everyone was giving that night!

Aside from Paolo, judges KaladKaren, Jiggly Caliente, Rajo Laurel, Photographer BJ Pascual, Jon Santos and a couple more celebrities will be there to decide who gets to pack up and leave, then choose the ultimate drag queen this season. There's still a lot of things happening in the show, so after the episode, stay tuned for the drama since RPDRPH Season 2 will also have their own Untucked! all shown on HBO GO and WOW PRESENTS PLUS (internationally)! Make sure you subscribe and watch the episodes every Wednesday, it'll be fun, fierce, and yes to more DRAMA!

ANDREA BRILLANTES, MARKKI STROEM To Grace DIVINE DIVAS Concert

People are extremely excited for the upcoming DIVINE DIVAS: The Ultimate Drag Experience concert that will happen on February 10, 2023 at the New Frontier Theater. The show produced by Fire and Ice Productions and Nathan Studios will headline Rupaul's Dragrace Philippines very own winner Precious Paula Nicole (who by the way is still fresh from her Dragcon UK representation of the Philippines), and equally talented RuPH-Girls Viñas Deluxe (who sings crazy) and Brigiding (a triple threat!).

It was unbelievable to see them perform during the press conference a few weeks ago and hands down, much of what I saw there was already concert worthy. Though during the interview, they promised that what they will showcase on the date will be totally different from what they've performed in bars and other events. They didn't divulge who will be their guests during that time, but we've got dibs on it today.

 

They just announced that Andrea Brillantes, Markki Stroem, Lady Morgana, Turing and The Golden Divas (from Golden Gays) will be their guests on the show. Rumors say that they will all be clad in drag so it'll be surely exciting to see how Andrea and Markki will be executing it on stage.

Aside from that, Lady Morgana is loved by all. Turing on the other hand will probably do more of her dance numbers which drag race fans around the world actually love. So if you haven't gotten tickets yet, go get them at TICKETNET online or call their number 89115555. Ticket prices range from 800 to 6500, you'll surely love the show!
