Jervi Wrightson, also known as KaladKaren, shared how saddened she is over the passing of her fellow Drag Race Philippines judge, Jiggly Caliente. The news anchor took to her social media to pay her tribute to the late Drag Queen.


Jiggly passed away earlier this week as announced by her family on her official social media account.

“I just lost my favorite seat mate. 😢 Drag Race Philippines will never be the same without you. Thank you for everything, my dearest sister. Rest in power. I love you tehhhhh,” Jervi wrote.

She shared some snaps of her with Jiggly in her Instagram post to revisit all the good memories they had during their taping for Drag Race Philippines

In her X (formerly Twitter) account, Jervi recalled how generous the late drag icon was to everyone on set. “Si Jiggly, kapag umuuwi ng Amerika after ng shoot namin ng Drag Race Ph, halos wala ng gamit… eh paano, pinamimigay niya sa mga bakla lahat ng mga makeup, accessories, wigs at kung anu-ano pa. Kahit ako nanghaharvat ng gamit niya. Ganyan siya ka generous,” Jervi shared.



Jervi added how much she’ll miss seeing Jiggly on the set of Drag Race Philippines and the connection they've built over the years.

“Mami-miss ko ang patalbugan natin ng looks every episode. Pinapasilip pa ang mga assistant sa kanya-kanyang dressing room para i-check ang outfit for the episode. One time, nilito ka namin… iba ang naka display na damit sa sinuot ko sa actual episode. Naimbyerna ka,” she added. 

The sudden passing of Jiggly came after the family just announced that she’ll be going on a hiatus following her right leg amputation and much needed recovery from her severe infection.

“A luminous presence in the worlds of entertainment and advocacy, Jiggly Caliente was celebrated for her infectious energy, fierce wit, and unwavering authenticity. She touched countless lives through her artistry, activism, and the genuine connection she fostered with fans around the world,” her family wrote in an official statement. 

Jiggly was 44 years old during the time of her passing.
