We've come to the last stop of our trip.
There were ten queens.
And now, we're just down to three.
But only one of them will rise as the new Drag Supreme.
Whose beauty will rule the land?
Whose wit will hold water?
Whose talent will bring a breath of fresh air?
Tonight the elements have come together.
Let the new Drag Supreme rise!
This is the grand finale
of the first Pinoy drag reality pageant
for Filipinos, by Filipinos
to the world.
I am Manila Luzon, the Drag Lord of this Drag Cartel.
Welcome to Drag Den!
Spin me round and round, and take me high
My body is a paradise
Step into the den tonight
Let 'em heat it up
Drag me up and down
And take me high
My body's so delectable
I got you wanting more and more
Let 'em eat it up
Ram papa pom papa pom pa pom pom
I'm begging you to take me high
You're living for me, don't lie
Spin me round and round, and take me high
My body is a paradise
Step into the den tonight
Let 'em heat it up
Let 'em eat it up
Ram papa pom papa pom pa pom pom
ROUND 8: QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
So spacious, so loose, like Moi.
-Loose? More like looser like you. -Who's in the Top Three again? Remind me.
I'm M, that's Moi!
D, that's Deja!
That's M, Mrs. Tan.
And together, we are
madames.
Seeing Moi and Deja with me in the Top Three,
I'm living for it. Still happy, be it win or lose.
For whoever bags the crown deserves it.
Now it's time for a eulogy…
-Yeah, a eulogy. -…for the other queens.
-That's all right. -Yeah, it's fine. As long as we're here.
Share your memorable moments with each of the queens.
Let's start with the first eliminated queen.
-First out. -Don't you miss Maria Lava?
I miss her beard…
in drag.
She is the true bearded queen.
We have many bearded queens this season.
-And our sissy Maria Lava is one of them. -Yeah.
What I miss about Marlyn
is that time when she felt really sexy
-in her dragdagulan performance. -Yeah, very empowered.
She's been wrestling with that idea of not being sexy.
But she served during the dragdagulan battle.
Marlyn raised the flag of the AFAB queens
-True. -here in the Philippines.
-Give it up for her! -First ever!
-Elvira. -My shady sister.
My sister serving pufferfish reality.
Oh, you meant Mrs. Puff.
Besides being a chatterbox,
-she's so caring. -That's true.
And the room felt different and weirdly silent
when her loud mouth was shut.
She was our bluetooth speaker…
-True. -…that was so loud until the battery died.
And let's give it up for our best actress!
-I'm acting. -I'm acting.
Many don't realize Jean's acting potential.
On a positive note, that is, how she presents herself,
-She's an actress. -how she owns the runway that wasn't hers.
-Right? -Jean is also a smart bitch.
-Yes, super. -Let's give that to her.
The saved queen
-who saved another, yas! -Amazing.
That's our sissy Margaux.
New phone, new cologne
Solid, strong, and scented.
-Oh, it's the wrong way. -Bitch, nothing's solid.
Oh, so nothing's solid.
Our queens who shared the same elimination spotlight.
-Who are next to each other. -Yeah.
To be fair, they slayed the lig-walk runway.
Still fab even if they're kicked out.
Not a happy new year from Mama Russia.
Our queen mother who is sexy,
slutty, horror nurse.
Our acrobat queen,
the first queen who drove our choreographer crazy.
I need to speak to our choreographer.
Already got an enemy on day one.
But that's enough for today.
Wait a sec. Hey!
We got to prep, bitches!
But before that,
-here's our eulogy for each of us. -None of us will die.
-No one will die. -We'll all go to heaven.
-Heaven, yeah. -We're dedicating these final performances
to our queens who left before us.
-Yeah. -Yes.
Bitch, this is a Pass-the-Message Game.
This is the product of not only ourselves,
but of course the people behind us.
Hear me out, no bullshit.
Whoever becomes the Drag Supreme,
I'm happy to see the both of you in the Top Three.
Yas!
I know Mrs. Tan looks forward having this battle
because she saved me in a challenge,
knowing that I'll be on top with her.
We're about to bring Mrs. Tan the competition she's been waiting for!
If I'm going to win it,
I'm gonna compete with the best.
And I know both of you are the best.
But I'll fight until the end.
Now all we need is to light up that stage with our performances.
-Shit, bring out the fireworks! -That's so true.
Happy new year, Drag Den Season Two!
Slay!
I actually expected to secure a spot in the Top Three.
But now that it's happening,
the pressure is real, it's thrilling.
An emotional rollercoaster.
An intense emotional rollercoaster.
Going into Drag Den, the other queens are not my toughest rivals.
It's been a battle within me.
I struggle with believing in myself.
I'm gagging to snatch that Drag Supreme crown
'cause I'm after that million!
A greedy bitch!
But let's be real, honey, I need that money.
Actually, kidding aside,
to be the next Drag Supreme is both an honor and a responsibility.
It's an honor to represent all generations,
representing them wherever they're from.
It's a responsibility to represent them well.
To showcase how Filipino drag is unique and world-class.
And besides that,
drag is an art that's thorough,
an art that liberates,
and an art that's beautiful
like me.
I'm the next Drag Supreme
because I face my fears head-on.
I'm the next Drag Supreme
because I'm not scared to tell stories,
stories that are usually neglected,
stories that should be heard by many.
All stories hold significance.
If you see the crown
that will fucking complete my look.
The word "supreme" is such a bold statement.
As if you're above others, you're powerful.
But being the Drag Supreme,
the title means that you are one with your community,
along with the underprivileged and marginalized.
So being the Drag Supreme, you have that responsibility.
This is not the final step for me.
There is something more that you need to see.
Not only for this challenge,
but of course with me having the Drag Supreme crown.
I wasn't as confident at first.
Especially with my looks.
Because I did not have enough resources,
enough money,
and enough connections to be here.
I want to win it.
I came here not only as myself.
I came here as my sisters, my drag sisters,
and the whole drag scene of Negros.
But once I'm the Drag Supreme,
I won't just represent the Bacolod drag scene.
I'll bring the whole Visayas Islands with me.
We will be seen
not only as drag queens, drag kings and drag artists.
But as you know, people who have dreams
and commitment to what they really love.
Despite all these struggles,
I know that I have delivered.
I know I can do more than just Top Three.
I will be the Drag Supreme.
I'm nervous, but at the same time I'm excited.
All the struggles, all the sweat, every ounce of effort
they will all pay off.
I really want to win this because
this has been my dream since the eighth grade.
To have a bigger stage, a bigger platform
to spread my talent.
And this is not only for myself,
but this is for my Pangasinan and Baguio supporters eagerly waiting.
It's not just Deja you're seeing.
It's a co-operation of all my loved ones,
all my family, chosen family who have been supportive from the start.
For me, being Drag Supreme
is a big, big responsibility.
You have to be the voice of others.
And you need to represent not just yourself,
but the Drag Den brand too.
I want to represent baby drag queens
who don't get much limelight.
Look at me!
I had this small stage back then
but I'm very proud that I started from there.
To all the provincial queens, continue trying.
Don't let the limelight die in front of your very eyes.
If I can do it, you can do it too.
I have two wins under my belt.
I have a strong feeling that I'm gonna snatch that crown.
And I will manifest.
This is Deja,
your Top Three contestant and soon-to-be Drag Supreme.
Claiming it.
A new game comes with new rules.
For the grand coronation night
the new Drag Supreme will be decided by the Drag Cartel.
With me, your Drag Lord, Manila Luzon.
Your Drag Dealer, Nicole Cordoves.
And as an addition to this season's new rules
she will finally exercise her voting power
after secretly watching and judging the queens behind-the-scenes.
She is our Drag Runner, Sassa Gurl.
For the new Drag Supreme to rise,
the Drag Cartel will judge the Top Three queens
according to their NatCos performance,
their dragdagulan,
their long gown presentation,
their Q&A, and their overall season performance.
This season's Drag Supreme will win over a million pesos worth of prizes!
Yes, honey! You've heard it right!
After planting the seeds of beauty, wit, and talent
for seven trippy weeks
our Top Three queens are about to harvest the fruits of their labor.
As you sow, so shall you have a go at it.
I mean, so shall you harvest.
To celebrate the richness of the Philippine lands,
please welcome our Top Three queens,
Deja, Moi, and Mrs. Tan,
in their national costume themewear attire,
a-gay-culture.
Of course!
I'm not your father
or your mother.
Nor your daughter.
I'm your son.
Flower.
I am Deja, the sun of your flowers.
All the way from the Panagbenga Festival of the Philippines,
Baguio City.
Thank you.
And tonight
the spotlight is mine.
And I will shine the brightest, the yellowest,
the most gorgeous of them all. Period.
What?!
-Wow! -Face reveal!
Choo-choo, bitch!
-Slay! -Choo-choo!
From the land of sweet surprises,
and the home of MassKara Festival,
this is Bacolod City, Negros Occidental!
This is my culture.
This is my home.
And I am a proud provincial queen!
-Slay. -Yes, queen!
She's a two-faced train.
I will not just overtake but I'll run them over.
Choo-choo, bitch!
The largest crocodile in captivity
according to the Guinness Book of World Records,
the tremendous titan of the river,
Lolong.
Actually, the largest crocodile is not yet in captivity.
Some crocodiles are there in the palace,
revising the history.
And that's a fact.
Check.
And I am a crocodile.
When we say it's large,
it's huge! And it's not just large.
It's big and bites boldly.
It devours!
You have all proven
that you are the cream of the crop.
But you have yet to land the crown.
Don't let your lands get dry.
My hot and dry queens, you'll be drenched in desire tonight.
It's gonna get wet and wild.
So I must send you backstage
for you to prepare for your final dragdagulan.
Queens, I'm about to rain on your parade
because a true Drag Supreme
is never afraid to get wet.
Rain can never water down the beauty,
wit and talent of our queens.
For one last time,
let's see Deja, Moi and Mrs. Tan
lipsyncing themselves to the top!
To the song "Miss Manila" by Angeline Quinto.
In the tradition of barangayan showdown,
let dragdagulan begin!
We are unstoppable, bold Brave, and beautiful
We radiate strength
You won't withstand our presence
Conquering the crown
Displaying beauty renowned
The Manileña Queen is About to be crowned
We give our hearts and we take part
The heart is ablaze The heart of a Manileña
Oh Miss Manila
Fierce in the fight, an independent woman
That's Manileña beauty
Oh Miss Manila
Raise the flag of the queens of Manila
Live on, Manileña
Oh Miss Manila
We're born courageous, led revolutions
We are leaders, we set a vision
You can't stop us, we're proud Manileñas
Standing like a tower, we've got the power
We give our hearts and we take part
The heart is ablaze The heart of a Manileña
Oh Miss Manila
Fierce in the fight, an independent woman
That's Manileña beauty
-Oh Miss Manila -Okay, okay.
You need few minutes to condition your hair.
Right.
Oh Miss Manila
-Werk! -Damn!
My Top Three queens are all wet and wild!
Your response?
Just like you.
Congratulations, queens.
You have all made it through the rain.
And what comes after the rain?
Dry up your clothes, kidding.
The rainbow.
Let your rainbow shine up in the sky
because it's time for your heavenly long gown.
Rain, rain, go away.
Come again another gay.
That national costume was fabulous.
It was.
It was so stunning!
-And they brought it, honey! -Yes!
Oh my god, Deja with the blonde,
with the sunflowers in her hair.
She was giving me Beyoncé.
As you look closely, the iridescent details
-at the end of the petals. -Yes!
And when she was moving, it just catches light.
And oh my god. She's the prettiest sunflower ever.
It added texture and drama.
-Yeah. -Yes.
It was giving like the drops of dew
-in the morning on flowers which I love. -Yeah.
So literally watered.
A well-watered sunflower.
It's so easy to let your costume swallow you up.
And Deja was wearing that costume.
-Yes. -It wasn't outwearing her.
Manila is so crazy! She got us wet and wild.
We're so drenched!
I thought it was just a shower.
I didn't know we had to face a heavy rainfall.
What about Deja when she was covered up in the sheets
and then she kind of, reveals it, and then she's twirling it?!
It's giving movement.
You know, it reminds me of my childhood
when I was using that piece of cloth. And I think I was Beyoncé.
-What your imagining… -Right?
That was a fantasy moment!
I felt like a true sex siren.
And I was seeing her stomping in the water
-and really using her space. -Oh yeah.
Even though she was a little bit back in the distance,
she was performing.
She was spinning that fabric,
that wet fabric around
like she was in a washing machine.
I really was impressed with Moi's presentation.
First of all, I was looking for mistakes on Moi.
But I could not find a single flaw
In this runway.
Yes, she didn't forget the back part.
Everything was a spectacle.
You know, we love a queen who rehearses in her costume
-Correct. -And everything is like a part of her.
-A lot of things get recycled or reused. -Yeah.
To come here with something so fresh, so new,
and so put-together is very impressive.
So Lady Gaga said, I'd rather be dry
but at least I'm alive.
Well, Manila said no!
It will rain on my parade!
That's Manila for you!
Like I really like Moi's look.
She was ready for the rain.
She came with protection.
-Yes. -So I love a queen who uses protection.
Confetti effect, classic drag queen move.
Get it out of the way in the beginning
and then just go hard from there.
The song is Miss Manila.
But this time,
Miss Manila is gonna be Miss Bacolod.
Moi did the wig reveal
and I love that because it came out of nowhere.
Then she does that head flip
and then that wig just comes off and she's got that
human hair wig right underneath and she's thrashing that around.
-I think that was fierce. -And that was even sexier.
And then Mrs. Tan.
That face reveal had me gagging.
Well, I was disappointed by the face.
You know, a bit.
-But… -Did she offend you?
-Yeah. -She's sorry.
And I was like, oh, it's still a crocodile.
But like, you know, it was a great presentation!
The costume I feel really swallowed her up.
-Oh. -But in a good way.
Because in that type of context,
you got to let it swallow you up.
And she really was moving
as one with her costume.
That really just kind of reminds us that
Mrs. Tan always does have that sense of humor.
And there's an extra layer
that she includes into all of her
looks here on the stage of Drag Den.
It's been a while since I last showered,
and I had a bath earlier.
So, it's very refreshing.
But we spent quite a while in the water, and I was about to get some spasms.
What I like about Mrs. Tan's reveals is that they all made sense.
it wasn't just for the sake of
throwing something on, just so we could have a show.
It incorporated into the whole set.
Mrs. Tan was wearing skintight leather latex.
And Mrs. Tan didn't really let go of the center spot.
I'm good at stealing the show when it's needed.
Sharing the spotlight is fine,
but honey, it's still a competition.
I love that they were giving us the fantasy
because I think every little drag queen
has the fantasy of like
stomping around in the puddles
and having that music video effect.
And I'm really excited that they were able to do this dragdagulan.
Our queens have been through hell.
And now it's time for them to ascend to the heavens.
Whose star will shine the brightest?
Who will become our new Drag Supreme?
Our Top Three queens will drag us to heaven
in their ethereal long gowns.
Presenting Deja, Moi and Mrs. Tan in their long gown competition.
This is a trip to gay-ven.
I vividly remember
When we first met
Hope unfolded
My path was still uncertain
With our hands intertwined
You led the way
Uncertain
Of the future
But we will leave
No one behind
Hold on, don't worry
You're not on your own
Deja.
We all see how proud you are of your northern roots.
And you always showcase your rich culture
in your looks with a touch of glam and hotness.
You tend to be quiet and low-key,
but you always make sure your queenly presence is felt
once you put on your costume, wigs and make-up.
So queens, beware!
Deja could be your silent slayer.
Even if the world is against you
Not giving up as you promised
If ever our dreams come true
We'll hold on tight
We'll have everything You are my guiding light
As time goes by
Remember
Moi!
You came here from your province
with no solid or regular gigs and drag performing, and yet,
you slayed in this competition and you took us on a hilarious trip!
You always bring us the camp
that makes drag more fun and relatable to all.
Your gift is your natural way,
and that's not something that every queen can do or learn.
Hold on, don't worry
You're not on your own
I'll be here until the end
This is my promise
Hold on, don't worry
You're my guiding light
Mrs. Tan, you're a natural and intellectual storyteller.
You're not afraid to express your beliefs and opinions.
Every time you step on the stage,
you instantly capture our attention
with your unconventional and highly conceptual artistry.
If drag is political, no doubt,
you'll be at the forefront of every struggle.
Queens, you have all cemented your place among the stars.
You are all heaven-sent.
What? Gays are not allowed in heaven?
Why do we look so heavenly, then? Right, queens?
-True. -True.
Your dreams of becoming the next Drag Supreme
are within your reach.
You have shown your beauty and talent,
but those are not enough to be crowned
as the new Drag Supreme.
We are also looking for brains.
So untuck those wits, queens, because we are moving on
to the most dreaded part.
The question and answer portion.
Queens.
There's one question for all of you.
The queens may step back and listen to our Drag Den theme song
while I'm asking our first queen.
Deja.
You only have one minute.
Timer starts now.
If I'm going to describe my reign as a Drag Supreme,
first, it is provincial.
We all know that I'm one of the provincial queens.
I represent my drag sisters from the north.
And I really want to be
their image of success.
I want to be their image of hope,
that they could overcome hardships in bars,
their struggles of finding
their spotlight,
and their battles to find a platform like this.
I want to be that queen.
And second is…
What is it again?
Second is…
emotional? Sentimental?
Yeah, that. I want to be
the very best.
Thank you.
Thank you, Deja. You may step to the side.
Third runner-up, Deja.
We're not even there yet. Come on.
Moi.
You have one minute on the clock.
Your time starts now.
I came into this competition
without anything but support
and the love of my friends and family.
But when I came here
I knew I had something in me.
And it is the will, the commitment, and the power.
The will to do drag.
To do drag in these times,
in these times when drag is criminalized.
When drag is something being weaponized against us.
The commitment, the commitment to do drag
in seven pairs of stockings
in heavy wigs, in heavy make-up.
The commitment just to showcase,
conceptualize clean and beautiful art.
And the power, the power to be the Drag Supreme
wherein I can forever change
not only the Filipino drag,
but showcase it to the world.
And of course show my province,
that I, a small guy, a small drag queen
from a very small location, am here
proudly a provincial queen.
Standing as your reigning queen,
manifesting as your Drag Supreme. Thank you.
Thank you, Moi. You may step to the side.
Slay!
Mrs. Tan, you may step forward.
Mrs. Tan.
You have one minute.
The timer starts now.
If given a chance to be the Drag Supreme tonight,
I would describe my reign as being open-minded,
attentive,
and inclusive.
With an open mind, embracing the uncertainty.
With an open mind, welcoming all possibilities.
With an open mind, engaging in endeavors as a Drag Supreme.
Because being a Drag Supreme doesn't--
is not just an honor, but also a responsibility.
Inclusive as I recognize that the art of drag is for everyone,
regardless of one's sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression.
And finally, a Drag Supreme who listens.
Attentive to what society is saying.
Attentive to all stories because each story holds significance.
Attuned to the unheard voices ignored by society.
Silenced for being gay, being poor,
coming from the provinces or for being a woman.
And I thank you.
Thank you, Mrs. Tan.
Deja…
I'm sorry, Baguio.
-Fuck you. -This bitch.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you, Deja, Moi, and Mrs. Tan
for answering those questions confidently.
You showed us that your mouths are fit
for long, hard oral exams.
I am so excited to crown our new Drag Supreme!
But before that it's time for deliberation.
And to tell you the truth, it's going to be hard.
Thank God I have my Drag Cartel with me to help me crown our winner.
Queens, you may take your beauty rest.
-Cheers! -Take a shot, bitches!
Slay!
Let's talk about these long gowns.
Oh my.
Let's start with Deja.
She looked every bit a goddess.
Plain and simple. She shone.
She was really giving us that
ethereal saint in the sky.
What I love about her, whenever she presents
anything in the runway or in the main stage,
is that she's so fun.
She always performs. And I love it.
The energy, it's very vibing.
Yeah, she never takes herself too seriously.
I know.
We all heard the question, right?
-Yes. -Yeah.
Goddamn. So we want to know how you felt
once you answered it.
Was it a struggle for you guys?
-Let's start with Deja. -Of course.
Dejahr, was it a shtruggle?
Yeahr, it ish.
To be honest, I'm okay.
-Really? -Because whatever happens,
-I'm a fucking star, I know that. -Right.
I know I did my best.
I got two wins under my pussy.
-Yeah. -Yes.
I think her problem was, she gave us one word
and then she elaborated on it,
and then didn't know what
-the other two were gonna be. -Yeah.
60 seconds can either be
a very short amount of time or an eternity.
Communication was never Deja's strong suit, though.
-Yeah. -But I was rooting for her
to finally take the reins tonight.
Maybe that will change everything for her.
I think she's almost surprised that she's in the Top Three.
So she's really like,
Oh, I'm just going to have fun and see what happens.
There is a word for that, for kanal, or vulgar, people.
She aced it playfully like in a dog show.
Well, Deja stands for dinogshow.
This is not the beginning of our career.
I mean, our competition has… you get it.
-This is not the end of our career. -Yeah, not the end.
This is just the beginning.
The real challenge is outside this competition.
Of how you'll grow as a drag queen.
The competition includes more than just the Q&A.
We're not starting from square one, your scores are not back to zero.
It's not the only factor in becoming a Drag Supreme.
That's why I'm happy.
-Yes, and you should. -Yes, to be honest…
Throughout this season, I can see her originality.
I can see how she puts herself into her work.
Even when other queens were outshining her,
she was always there to remind us
that she was doing really good drag
with an amazing sense of humor and doing it smartly.
-Yeah. -All the hard work and all the blood,
sweat and tears shed throughout this season,
it all boils down to this.
So it feels quite validating for my kind of drag and yours too.
I love how Moi was the sky between the sun and the moon.
She was the only one who presented
the evening gown that I actually really felt.
She just projected, absorbed all that light
and took it with her over there.
It wasn't the best in terms of construction,
but she carried it and she played with it.
It's not just about the gown.
It's about the person who's wearing it.
And Moi wore it well.
She takes her drag very seriously.
And she presented us with
what we expect from a pageant queen.
And then we looked down at the bottom, and then it's the camp.
-Yeah. -You know.
I won the last round,
-the last episode. -And that was your wit and shit.
Wit, wit. Hey, hey, hey.
There is this expectation that
because I did well last episode,
-I would also do well today, which… -And you did.
-Yeah, true. -Thank you, sis.
We are forgetting that even though she's funny,
-she's super smart! -She is.
She's super smart.
As she's not like the standoffish kind of smart.
She's really intellectual,
but because she's so smart,
she knows that if she delivers it
with a little sense of humor,
that smartness is so much easier
to swallow for just anybody.
-She aced the Q&A without missing a beat. -That's true.
You didn't just speak because you knew the right answer,
you spoke from the heart
-and we felt it. -Yeah, exactly.
Thank you so much.
It feels validating, hearing that from all of you.
We've seen her confidence grow each episode on stage.
And then the answer tied to all of that
feels like I was doing a flashback of her entire journey
-one by one, you know. -Yes.
Her three words were will, commitment and power.
And she has been showing that
every single round in this competition.
It's fulfilling to be part of the Top Three.
Everyone slayed.
But it's also sad.
We were preparing earlier,
it was just so quiet.
Mrs. Tan for me has been a standout
from the beginning of the season.
I think, however,
she kind of feels like she might have it in the bag.
That means that she is letting her guard down
at this moment when we have Deja and Moi
coming in hot behind her.
She's always been presenting us
-with some avant-garde fashions -Yes.
and forward-thinking costumes
that always have a sense of intellect and glamor.
And tonight was no exception.
If my answer was good or bad,
if my answer was the worst, I don't fucking care.
Girl, better listen to my answer.
-Fuck you, Deja. -You fucking bitch.
But your answer on inclusivity was great.
Marlyn and I shared a look when you brought up inclusivity.
It's great how evident it is.
I admire how you are…
-I agree. -…with your drag daughter.
There's that.
I don't know what else to say
'cuz it will just come off as gibberish.
It was another moment when I wished that
I got to know Mrs. Tan more.
Don't get me wrong, it was a good answer.
I love how queens have an advocacy.
But give us a little bit about your story,
how you deal with these things. You know.
Whatever happens, I'm just happy.
I've said everything I wanted to say.
I've shown everything I've got.
I got to be with those close to my heart.
And that's important
in how you'll use your drag for something bigger
whether if it's for you,
for other people, for the society. You decide.
My interpretation was that
this is more than just her.
I don't fault her for not getting
too personal with her answer.
I understand where you're coming from.
But I think her answer was fantastic
because it was she's not just representing herself.
She's representing all of us,
especially those people that don't think
that they can actually do
what she's up there doing.
-Yeah. -She really showed us that
you know what, I understand what the job description is,
and I'm here to apply.
-Exactly. -You know.
I mean, even if you were eliminated first…
What the fuck, Jean!
I'm done.
-Sorry. -Fucking shit.
I feel disrespected, sorry.
-Really? -Yeah.
-Mrs. Tan, no. She just opened the bottle.
-Just kidding! -I got nervous.
I'm acting!
You deserve it, don't you think?
-Bullshit. -Bitches.
I got really nervous.
Nicole, what are you looking for
in the new Drag Supreme?
From the last season
we saw how we got international attention.
I feel as if we need a storyteller
by the Filipinos for the Filipinos.
Someone who will really tell our stories
and not just meet the standards of international drag,
or what not,
but instead showcase what's really unique with Filipino drag.
How about you, Sassa?
I want someone
that has a pure heart to be an advocate
because we create queer shows
for people to know about our culture.
And I want someone who can represent
that essence to the world.
I want someone who just loves, lives, and breathes the art of drag.
Who is unafraid to express themselves,
even if it goes against the grain.
It's the community that rallies around each other to lift each other up.
And I want someone who can get people
from every island in the Philippines
and get them behind them to support them,
to prove to everyone watching around the world
that drag in the Philippines
is the best drag in the world.
Take a shot, bitches!
When a new Supreme rises,
the reigning Supreme and drag legends rise with her.
Ladies and gentlemen, help me welcome the legends of Pinoy Drag.
Eva Papaya, Racing Chat,
Jolina Padilla, and joining them
as she takes her last flight as the Drag Supreme,
NAIA.
Model! Werq!
Silky smooth, honey.
Yes!
Feel it, honey!
Work!
It has been an immense honor
to be the first to carry the legacy of the Supreme.
My trailblazing win is proof that you can make mistakes,
and doubt yourself,
but you can never stop believing in your power and your art.
Looking back, my journey was much like pouring rain.
Dark clouds sought to drown out our voices,
and label our art as mere mockery.
As these attacks rained down,
we came together to show that drag is not a crime.
And that we would rise above the water.
Because the Drag Supreme is someone who can stand in the rain
without ever extinguishing her fire.
As the new Supreme rises, the old one does not fade away.
She simply continues the work of all the unsung heroes
and uncrowned Supremes who came before us.
Thank you, NAIA and our Pinoy drag legends,
Eva Papaya, Racing Chat, and Jolina Padilla.
You are the OG Drag Supremes!
So thank you for accepting our invitation,
because your presence tonight means so much
not just to me, but for everyone in this den.
Because your blessings
to whoever wins tonight
will mean so much.
Thank you so much.
And NAIA, our reigning Drag Supreme.
What a reign. I'm a proud Drag Lord!
Are you ready to turn over the crown to the next Drag Supreme?
I could not imagine a better way to end my reign.
I don't want to end it, actually.
Can I not?
Can we just end the episode here
and then we don't crown another bitch?
It's just me.
But I had so much fun
as the first ever Pinoy Drag Supreme.
I traveled the country and I was able to represent the underdogs of drag.
And I think that's what we need most
in the Pinoy drag industry.
We see the legends who are here with us right now
and they've paved the way
for all of us young queers out there
to really shine in our own light.
And I hope to be a beacon of light as well.
Bagmen, hold NAIA
because we will have to forcibly remove this crown from her.
That's fine.
As long as I take them home.
NAIA,
Eva Papaya, Racing Chat, Jolina Padilla,
I present to you back on stage
our Top Three,
Deja, Moi, and Mrs. Tan
for their final walk
to the song "Lean on" by VXON.
"LEAN ON" BY VXON
Lean on, just lean on
He made you cry I know it, don't deny
I know you, so I've been waiting
For the right moment to tell you
Come closer, I'll let you know
Just lean in, lean on me now
Navigating rough waters
Here to be your support
I'm here to be your shoulder to lean on
Come closer and lean on
Wait a sec, come closer
I hate goodbyes but it's time to go home
How many tears have you shed
Tissues, and bottles Shattered and broken
We've been tugging and pushing for years
Is this the game you want to play?
Fools forsaking the fooled
Hiding feelings, love But you're the one I'm dreaming of
Take you home, my heart's desire Seeing you smile, that's my fire
Irresistibly pulled towards you Though it's amiss
I don't wanna see
How he made you cry, don't deny
I know you, so I've been waiting
For the right moment to tell you
Come closer, I'll let you know
Just lean in, lean on me now
Navigating rough waters
Here to be your support
I'm here to be your shoulder to lean on
Come closer and lean on
Just a moment, please
Leaving again so soon
Just 'coz you know I can't resist 'ya
What am I to you? Don't play innocent
You're torn, having someone else
But seeking comfort in my embrace
I'll fix their mess, enough please
Come with me to cloud nine
You're a diamond, settling for gravel
He made you cry I know it, don't deny
I know you, so I've been waiting
For the right moment to tell you
Come closer, I'll let you know
Just lean in, lean on me now
Navigating rough waters
Here to be your support
Come with me to cloud nine
Come closer
And lean on
Queens, I'm so proud of all of you!
Congratulations!
If I could only crown all three of you, I would.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
But there can only be one Drag Supreme.
Our Drag Supreme has been decided by me
and my Drag Cartel, Nicole, and Sassa.
We shall start with our special award,
the Miss Clapper or Miss El Tocuyo Award,
which goes to the eliminated queen
who failed to make it to our finale but won our hearts
with her beauty, wit, and talent.
She will receive 25,000 pesos.
Slay.
Cut me in on the win.
Miss El Tocuyo Award goes to
Russia Fox.
-Yes! -What a spotlight!
Cut-it-off queen!
-Wait, Manila. -Bravo!
First of all, thank you so much to my family,
and to my Drag Den Season Two family.
Thank you so much. Judges, thank you.
And thank you so much to the Lord too.
I may not be part of the Top Three,
but I am Miss El Tocuyo,
definitely a heavy favorite.
And I thank you.
Sexy, slutty El Tocuyo.
She's not just the El Tocuyo,
-she's also sexy and slutty! -Deserve!
-Deserve!
We will now proceed to the crowning
of our new Drag Supreme.
Thank you.
And the winner is…
Congratulations,
Deja!
All hail the new Supreme of Pinoy drag.
Congratulations, Deja!
The spotlight's on me now
Too ambitious
Don't challenge me Unless you want a face kick
Go ahead and try
Get a face kick
Just do the same!
The spotlight's on me now
Keep dreaming
Surpassing the great actresses Nora and Vilma
Don't get your hopes up
Nora and Vilma
You're delusional
Because people will look up
To me tonight
I'm Darna, I'm a goddess
I'm the brightly shining star In the heavens
I'm Wonder Woman, I'm a superstar
To all the queer kids dreaming,
someday you will reach it.
And I know, everything will be okay.
I love you all. Thank you so much.
I'm Darna, I'm a goddess
I'm the brightly shining star In the heavens
I'm Wonder Woman, I'm a superstar
The moment is mine I'm the queen of the night
I'm Darna, I'm a goddess
The queen of the night
Oh my god. This is it!
I'm a fucking Drag Supreme!
And I would like to thank all of my supporters.
My family, especially my ever-supportive mom,
and all my drag sisters.
This is for all of those in the North.
Hi, Marjade. You'll grow up beautiful.
I know how tough it is to dream
as a young gay in the province.
You grew up in a harsh world of judgment.
But don't let it discourage you.
Remember how your mother loved and accepted you,
even with all your quirks.
That love will be the driving force
behind your strength, growth, and eventual triumph,
turning you into the queen you're destined to be.
Glitter, glamor.
Grit and power.
These are what Supremes are made of.
She is a queen who fought her way to the top and earned her spot.
Supreme is her name.
Drag is her game.
A young blood with big dreams and a beautiful heart.
All hail, the new Supreme of Pinoy drag.
Please rise.
You'll see me everywhere, and I promise you
that I will do my hardest best
to represent the Drag Den brand.
I fucking slayed it!
No, you can't say that Sassa.
And that's just the beginning.
Guess how I discovered her wigs are human hair?
-How? -How so?
It has lice!
You'd cough your lungs out!
-Bitch, do you hear that? -What?
-You heard that? Do you hear that? -Sassa…
-Bitch, I'm not kidding. -What's happening?
-Sassa! -Sassa!
Help! Anyone there? Help!
-Help! -What are you doing?
-They're here! -Fine, we'll come with you!
Sassa! Oh my god.
Divisoria!
