The race to become the Philippines’ next drag superstar is heating up as Angel, Maxie, Khianna and Tita Baby were revealed as the final four of “Drag Race Philippines” season three.
Angel, Maxie, Khianna and Tita Baby became emotional on the main stage as their names were announced as the Top 4 in the hit drag competition show’s ninth episode on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
The ninth episode started the mini-challenge, where semi-finalists Angel, Maxie, Khianna, Tita Baby and Zymba Ding faced The Drag Council to answer truthfully the given questions. The council consisted of the previously eliminated queens Myx Chanel, Popstar Bench, John Fedellaga, J Quinn, Yudip–ta and Versex.
After Tita Baby’s win in the mini-challenge, the semi-finalists put their wits to the test in the “Slay Accla” maxi challenge, where they had to write verses and perform live choreography.
