'Drag Race PH' Season 3: Angel, Khianna, Maxie, Tita Baby advance to the finale
The third edition of "Drag Race Philippines" has proven to be a strong season, and after nine episodes of intense competition among 11 queens, only four remain for the finale.
In the ninth episode, Angel was the final recipient of the RuBadge of the season, making her the first queen to advance to the finale.
Aside from Angel, the three finalists include Khianna, Maxie, and Tita Baby.
Meanwhile, Zymba Ding sashayed away after Tita Baby won the lip sync smackdown along to the tunes of "Isa Pang Araw" by Sarah Geronimo.
Netizens are saying this is the strongest Top 4 of the "Drag Race Philippines" yet, after each queen showed off their prowess throughout the season.
Angel received the RuBadge twice in the season: for her strong Snatch Game performance as Maria Clara and her Slay Accla Slay performance in the penultimate episode.
Angel's sister, Maxie, has an even stronger showing with three RuBadges in her pocket: "Dapat Pakak!" "Super Pao Presents" and his endearing performance with his dad in the "Super Queens" episode.
Khianna may only have one RuBudge to her name — winning the "Viral Queens" episode — but she definitely made her mark with her strong, creative looks in the runway challenges, and her impersonation of Baron Geisler in the Snatch Game.
Despite not winning a RuBadge, Tita Baby has endeared herself to audiences with her wit, humor, and consistent branding. She won the mini-challenge of Episode 9.
The Season 3 finale episode of "Drag Race Philippines" is set to air on HBO Go and Wow Presents Plus on October 9. —Hermes Joy Tunac/JCB/LA, GMA Integrated News
