MANILA — Filipina drag queen Eva Le Queen is set to represent the Philippines in the inaugural season of "RuPaul's Drag Race: Global All Stars," World of Wonder revealed early Tuesday.

Eva will be competing with 11 other queens from other various franchises representing their own countries.

During her season, Eva was among the Top 4 finalists in "Drag Race Philippines" season 1, which aired in 2022.

In her Meet The Queens clip, Eva stressed how she wanted to represent Asian culture in the world stage.

"In 'Drag Race Philippines,' I did pretty well, I was Final 4. I always go for breathtaking looks, I use my body, my artwork, my wigs, my face to tell a story and start conversations," the drag queen said.

"I've always been inspired by Eastern sisters who came before me like Pangina, they really broke the glass ceilings in the Philippines. I came here because I wanted to show that there is excellence from that side of the world," she added.

She added that it is high time for an Asian queen to win All Stars.

"It's high time for Asian drag excellence to be in the Hall of Fame. I'm representing the Philippines but at the same time Asia in general because I started my drag in Singapore with the influences of my sisters from Thailand, Indonesia, and Hong Kong," she said.

"And I know that what I am going to show is a culmination of lots of the beauty, the artistry, the culture, that we all have from that side of the world and now we're bringing it to the global stage."

"RuPaul's Drag Race: Global All Stars" will be airing new episodes starting August 16.

"Drag Race Philippines" is now on its third season which will be premiering on August 7 with 11 contestants.

Precious Paula Nicole and Captivating Katkat are the titleholders of "Drag Race Philippines," winning in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

The Emmy Award-winning original series has featured the talents of Filipino drag queens in the US and several overseas in editions through the years.
