“Drag Race Philippines,” based on the Emmy-winning “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” premiered last August under the streaming platforms HBO Go, Discovery Plus and Wow Presents Plus. The show was hosted by actor Paolo Ballesteros, who also served as a main judge alongside celebrity impersonator KaladKaren and Filipino drag queen Jiggly Caliente.
The reality competition crowned Precious Paula Nicole as the first-ever drag race superstar on Oct. 12. Precious Paula Nicole is now set to appear in RuPaul’s DragCon in London in January 2023.
