Give in to the eight bewitching queens of Drag Den Philippines
A new enticing form of addiction awaits the drag fans as the Drag Den Philippines pioneer season signals its upcoming!
On Thursday, the first-ever local and original reality drag competition released its official trailer through social media. Finally revealed is the star-studded cast starting from RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Manila Luzon, who will serve as the “drag lord” or the host.
Moreover, Miss Grand International 2016 1st-runner-up Nicole Cordoves also appeared in the trailer with an introduction as the “drag dealer.” Joining her in the lineup is Sassa Gurl, the comedienne and TikTok influencer who seems all out in her role as the “drag runner.”
Of course, part of the thrill is unveiling the identity of eight drag queens who will compete in the show. In all gorgeousness, let us get to know them more!
