“In 'Drag Race Philippines,' I did pretty well, I was Final 4. I always go for breathtaking looks, I use my body, my artwork, my wigs, my face to tell a story and start conversations… I've always been inspired by Eastern sisters who came before me, like Pangina, they really broke the glass ceilings in the Philippines. I came here because I wanted to show that there is excellence from that side of the world," she said.
