This will be the third "vs. the World" concept in the "Drag Race" franchise, following editions in the United Kingdom and Canada.
Bannering the Philippine flag is M1ss Jade So, who previously finished joint third on the second season of "Drag Race Philippines."
At the time, she made history alongside fellow contestants Bernie and Captivating Katkat as the first trans women to compete on the series, making it all the way to the finals, where Katkat was crowned the winner.
"With her commanding presence as a 'body' queen, and a fierce advocate of her 'doll domination' philosophy of trans power, this self-confessed 'power top na bratzy' is ready to take on the whole world one queen at a time," read a description for Jade.
She will be the first "Drag Race Philippines" alumna not from the show's inaugural edition to compete in an international "Drag Race" edition, not including "Slaysian Royale," which the Philippines hosted.
