Following the launch, new episodes of Drag Race Philippines will drop every Wednesday on discovery+ and HBO GO.

On the starting line is this season’s host, Paolo Ballesteros.

Coming from a family of artists, including his great-grandfather, Philippines’ first national artist and painter Fernando Amorsolo, it’s no surprise that Paolo is a talented artist himself. Paolo shows his creativity by posting on Instagram his makeup transformations to Mariah Carey, Julia Roberts, and other international artists. This gave him attention not only locally but internationally as well and played a pivotal role in his first award-winning lead film Die Beautiful which garnered local and international acclaim, where he expressed his creativity through the art of drag.

A stellar lineup of judges joins Ballesteros for the new series, including American singer, actress, and drag performer, Jiggly Caliente, best known for competing in RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 & RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 6. Second is writer, presenter, and producer, and Karen Davila impersonator, KaladKaren.
