"There is a fierce Filipino drag scene and I am proud to be returning to my home country in this new role as a 'Drag Race' judge to shine a spotlight on these incredible artists to the world—or the universe, rather. Pak! Mabuhay, Drag Race."

Jiggly became a drag icon after joining the fourth season of "Rupaul's Drag Race" and "Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars 6."

"RuPaul's Drag Race Philippines" opened the casting for its first season last year. It will premiere on August 17 on WOW Presents Plus.
