Sharon Cuneta leads roster of guest judges in ‘Drag Race PH’ Season 3

Sharon Cuneta will lead a stellar cast of guest judges who will decide on who will be the next winner of “Drag Race Philippines” Season three.

Aside from Cuneta, other celebrity judges are Janella Salvador, Jolina Magdangal, and Melai Cantiveros, who will lend their expertise in steering the show’s contestants.

The drag competition show revealed the celebrity guest judges for its third season on Thursday, July 25, who were seen in the trailer for the upcoming season.

One of the trailer’s highlights showed Cuneta on the judging panel where she was seemingly impressed at a certain segment of the show.

“Natutuwa ako sa representation ng Pinoy (I’m happy to see Pinoy representation),” she said.

Other scenes showed Salvador prancing on the runway in her glamorous black and gold Valentina-inspired ensemble, while Magdangal turned on the charm in her shiny pink shrug, matching pink pants, and pink wig.

On the other hand, Cantiveros drew laughs after making jokes on the judging panel and interacting with the competing drag queens’ at the show’s famed “werk room.”

Also part of the lineup of celebrity judges are Miss Universe 2022 R’Bonney Gabriel, Angeline Quinto, Kyle Echarri, and “Drag Race Philippines” season one winner Precious Paula Nicole.

Returning as permanent judges are KaladKaren and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season four and “All Stars 6” alum Jiggly Caliente.

Fashion designer Rajo Laurel, comedian Jon Santos, and celebrity photographer BJ Pascual were also shown in the trailer. While Laurel, Santos, and Pascual served as rotating judges for the show’s previous two seasons, it’s unknown if they will have the same role for the upcoming season.

“Drag Race Philippines” season three will premiere on Aug. 7. Eleven queens will compete for the title of Philippines Next Drag Superstar.

The local franchise of the hit drag series had crowned two winners since its run, Precious Paula Nicole and Captivating Katkat.
