RuPaul announced Tuesday, Aug. 17, that the casting for the first season of Drag Race Philippines, the Philippine franchise of American reality TV competition RuPaul's Drag Race, is now open.
"Calling all queens. If you think you have what it takes to become the first Drag Race superstar from the Philippines, we wanna hear from you. Show us your charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent, and this could be the beginning of the rest of your life," said RuPaul.
Confirming the news, World of Wonder co-founders Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey said in a joint statement that they are "so excited to introduce audiences to the dazzling queens of the Philippines."
