Manila Luzon admitted that she was very competitive during her time in “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” but taking the reins of being a judge on “Drag Den Philippines” was an opportunity to support the local drag scene. | HMallorcaINQ
As “Drag Den” is coming to a close, Manila said being a host and judge was a privilege to channel her experiences as a former contestant in promoting the local drag scene.
The Fil-Am artist also candidly revealed that she brings makeup and wigs for contestants Pura Luka Vega, O-A, Aries Night, Lady Gagita, Barbie-Q, Shawarma, NAIA, and Maria Cristina. “I brought an entire suitcase full of makeup from my [makeup artist] friends and PR kits, and I would bring them to the queens. I also went online shopping and I was buying them lots of wigs,” recalled Manila, as she looked back on her favorite moments on the reality show.Manila has always felt the support from Filipino fans as a former contestant, but she hopes that shifting gears as a host and judge would be a driving factor in promoting the local drag scene.
“Well, I [honestly] don’t understand everything that’s going on since I don’t speak Tagalog and I didn’t know all of the references because I didn’t grow up here. But all these queens are so funny, especially O-A since she’s the shadiest one of them all. She’s never afraid to tell it like it is. This is why I love them so much,” she said.
