A year since the premiere of the sensational hit Filipino show Drag Den with Manila Luzon comes its much-awaited follow-up: Drag Den with Manila Luzon Season Two: Retribution. Prime Video’s first renewal of local content in Southeast Asia, premieres January 18, 2024, in the Philippines and 240 countries and territories worldwide with a new episode released every week.
Producer CS Studios, series creator and director Rod Singh, and showrunner Antoinette Jadaone of Project 8 Projects are back to creatively helm the show to another successful run. Fans can also be assured of returning hosts Manila Luzon, Nicole Cordoves, and Sassa Gurl.
So what’s new to look forward to in the show’s sophomore season?
Here’s what’s new:
New Season
There’s a new story.
Drag Den with Manila Luzon’s first season explored the origins of the drag cartel and emphasized the inclusion of local drag queens in the judging panel — a significant moment in the world of drag competitions on TV. It also marked the introduction of a “no eliminations” format. In season 2, the competition officially begins, as contestants compete for the title of the next Pinoy Drag Supreme.
Season 1 of Drag Den with Manila Luzon was characterized by themes and language that were geared toward Filipino audiences. In a similar vein, season 2 of the show will showcase cultures and art forms that are both foreign and shared but still resonate with Filipino sensibilities. By doing so, the show hopes to influence Filipino culture and create subcultures that are uniquely Filipino.
2. New Den
The drag cartel has moved to a new den with three parts for season 2 – the alley, arcade, and mainstage. It’s a mix of steampunk and cyberpunk, and promises to be a more intense and psychedelic experience compared to season 1.
3. New Game
Elimination happens after every episode. Manila walks with the eliminated queen, giving them a supportive message.
The Main Drag Showdown can be on any stage.
The Dragdagulan winner gets immunity from elimination and competes in a three-way lipsync battle chosen by drawing lots.
4. New Rules
The Drag Cartel now includes 4-5 judges and Season 1 queens as Drag Agents on duty. Three sexy men, the Bagmen, also join the group.
5. New Judges
Yeng Constantino, Bini, Rufa Mae Quinto, Alaska Thunderfuck, Alodia Gosengfiao, Andrea Brillantes, and Dolly de Leon add glimmer to the show as enlisted judges or “Guest Drag Enforcers” for every competition episode.
6. New Songs
A new main theme song is coming! The previous season’s theme song was so catchy that it became an earworm. The new song, called “Pom Pom” (Take Me High), is performed by Manila Luzon featuring Sassa Gurl. It will be available on various digital music platforms in January. The song was written by Silas, produced by Rod Singh and Silas, and released by UMG Philippines under Republic Records.
In addition, the Season Two Drag Den Queens will be releasing their song called “Sustah”. It will also be available on digital music platforms in January. The song was written by Kumareng Harvey and Silas, produced by Rod Singh and Silas, and released by CS Music.
Drag Den with Manila Luzon Season Two: Retribution will be available for streaming worldwide starting January 18, 2024, on Prime Video. Drag Den with Manila Luzon is also now on Prime Video, along with thousands of amazing titles – all for only Php 149 per month.

It’s meant for water.

Bridgetowne offers lights, music and food—in a wide open space.
Filipinos love the yearend holidays and in fact, much has already been said about how we anticipate its arrival as early as September. But now that the holiday season is actually upon us, some of us might be overwhelmed by the sheer number of activities leading up to Christmas and the New Year festivities.
This year, why not take the opportunity to explore an open, tree-lined space where you can run around with friends, walk your furbabies, and then have a bite to eat? At Bridgetowne, Robinsons Land’s premier destination estate, you can do all that and enjoy the cool holiday breeze at the same time.
Earlier this month, Mercato Central, the country’s largest small food business market, opened an outpost at Bridgetowne located near the property’s football pitch. With almost two dozen stalls to choose from, visitors will be spoiled for choice. This Christmas season, the stalls are open for business Tuesday to Sunday, 4:00pm – 12:00 midnight while in January it operates from Thursday to Sunday, 4:00pm – 12 midnight until March 2024. Buskers provide entertainment, nightly.
If you’re feeling parched after all those steps you put in, there are fresh fruit juices and shakes at Heaven Shake, Nutrifresh and Face Buko, lemonade at Juice Factory, and a selection of brews at Kraft Coffee. Snackers can choose from Hungarian, John Crispy, Lyn’s Bibingka, El Angelicious Empanada, JD’s Takoyaki or shawarma at It’s A Wrap. Need something more substantial? Load up on Korean food at Uncle Kims or Kchase Korean Street Food, grilled faves at Cheng’s Grill or Guagua’s Best, and savories that will hit the spot at Bagnet Rice Patong, 921 Smoking Hot, Mongolian, Cocina Berenguer or Chicago.
Once dusk falls, Bridgetowne lights up and the effect is simply magical. Those who enjoy posting on social media won’t run out of picture-perfect backdrops starting with “The Victor,” a 60-meter high art installation of a human figure with one arm raised in victory. Located on the eastern portion of the 32-hectare estate, the structure by Fil-Am artist Jefrё Manuel-Figueras pays homage to the resilience and determination found in every Filipino.
This holiday season, The Victor will be festively illuminated. Then there’s the stunning four-lane bridge that connects two urban centers Quezon City to Pasig City, lined with colored lights. Designed by the late National Artist Francisco “Bobby” Mañosa, the curvy 110 meter-long bridge was inspired by the ribbon depicted in the Bridgetowne logo. There are dedicated lanes for pedestrians and bikers who can enjoy the breeze as well as the view as they traverse the length of the bridge over the Marikina River.
A second art installation, breathtaking in its attention to detail, was recently unveiled and is well worth a visit—and several posts on one’s socials.
“Lambat” depicts a fishing couple at the precise moment when they cast their net. Created by multi-talented artists Jude Tiotuico, Miguel Aguas and Vito Selma, the sculpture is a tribute to the Filipino working class but also serves as a protective shade where people can converge and where children can play.
“Visitors to Bridgetowne can use the football field and obstacle park for sports and recreation, gather at the motorcycle community hub (Mototowne), and take advantage of the open spaces for family activities,” said Loise Albert Montes, AVP Business Development for RLC Destination Estates. Mr. Montes is particularly proud of how the estate has been illuminated for the holidays, and suggests that a weekend visit might be best for families and groups of friends. “There’s more flexibility to engage in recreational activities such as using the football field, obstacle park, and participating in community events without time constraints,” he said adding that the night food market that offers a diverse range of culinary delights would be at its liveliest after dusk.
Brigetowne will also holding its very first NY Countdown on December 31, featuring the country’s top bands-Sandwich Motherbasss with DJ Loonyo, MC Pao Avila, DJ Jet Boado DJ Alondra. Hosted by Kaladkarin and Princess Legaspi, the event will start at 9:00 pm. Entrance is free. After all, what is Christmas but a chance to gather with family and friends over a shared meal, lights and music—this time provided by buskers who will perform Christmas carols.
