Offgina’s Review
It’s Offgina but it’s Ongina! This Filipino-American Queen from RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 1 and All Season 5 checks on the Filipina queens’ runway. Ongina appeared as Offgina in the first episode of her review. She wore no make up, no extravaganza couture, literally off-drag. But her critical reviews on the newest RuGirls proved that she’s the drag legend and HIV activist , Ongina.
The queen rated the contestants’ look with “pakak” for those she thinks slayed while “lagapak” for those who didn’t. Ongina looked from the Filipina queens extravaganza hairs down to the last inch of their shoes. Other than that, she also commended the bigger werkroom for this season and the prices for the next DRPH superstar. She looks forward for the drama that awaits for the audience. Truly, everything were on point with Ongina.
