"Drag Race Philippines" Season 2 is finally here!

Ahead of its launch, Xylo Manila, in partnership with HBO Go, held a "Drag Race Philippines" Season 2 premiere night on Tuesday, where the exciting first episode was screened.

Below are five 'Boogsh’-worthy moments that took place.

Races, start your engines, indeed!
