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!

The Phenomenal TCL P7 Series Direct Drive+ Topload Washing Machine

It looks like they've gone way beyond the expectations of consumers and started to venture into home appliances again this month, They've finally launched the new P7 Series Direct Drive+ Topload Washing Machine, where more of the features of usual pricey machines and get fit into this new model, without being expensive.


TCL's CEO Mr. Jie Cheng says "If you see our new models, we wanted to emulate the traditional washing machines do but make it more efficient and affordable.


The P7 Series is stable, quiet, durable and very energy efficient. It uses a DD Inverter Motor that doesn't use belts which makes it more stable and uses less energy, less water too.

With it's Waterfall Style Washing you're going to get less tangles inside the drum but gets the detergent dissolved efficiently, so it could do the washing better. Think of it being less abbraisive, but more care for the fabrics. It's like handwashing for those delicates, and being attentive when it needs more work.

A Few Reasons To Watch GARY VALENCIANO's "Gary V Back at the Museum"

Had a really fun time at the Music Museum attending the concert of Gary Valenciano called "Gary V: Back at the Museum". It was officially his 93rd time to perform there and the show was pretty much a huge time travel, of things he's done at the Music Museum and even have video synced in almost every number he did at that venue.

It was fun to see how several big stars of today were in the audience, and much of his fans in those years still attend the show. As Mr. Gary Valenciano puts it, he says "Music Museum is the most intimate venue, and this is why it's important for me because much of my songs and it's messages are meant to be done that way."

Sure enough, we got that treat. Music Museum has the audience placed very close to the stage and Gary could actually see much of our face unlike other venues which is why he prefers it. It's like he could talk to people, sing his songs while you are actually there. It felt very personal, but he's not even shortchanging anything even the dance moves.

Gary V performed with Kianna Vee for a little Father Daughter number

Mind you, the Manouvers that are dancing with him are actually 4th generation (Manouvers Ignite). They all retired (I think) and he's still dancing? What?!

These are just a few of the reasons why you should watch the show. Gary Valenciano is also helping a few charities that cater to kids, those affected by health conditions (those with diabetes) and the poor. Even though I barely did catch what they did in the 80's and early 90's, his music transcends all these and have really good lyrics. It's like poems come alive, and I couldn't keep up with the crowd that evening even if I was extra energetic. If you're a Tita/Tito, Mom/Dad, Lola/Lolo, millennials or Gen XYZ, you'll enjoy his music and the memories that come with it. There are still a few dates left this August 12, 19 and 26, so get them tickets at ticketworld.com.ph and celebrate his birthday too!

Btw, make sure to watch out for the "request" part of the show and get heard by Mr. Pure Energy himself and sing your favorite Gary V song. (It was my favorite part of the show!)

Congratulations Sir Gary!
