Drag Race Philippines is a Philippine reality competition television series, an adaptation based on the American television franchise RuPaul's Drag Race. It documents contestants participating different challenges, at the invitation of drag performer Paolo Ballesteros, every week to compete and be inducted as the Philippines' Next Drag Superstar.
In every episode, it employs a panel of judges with Ballesteros and KaladKaren, with alternative judges such as BJ Pascual, Jon Santos, and Rajo Laurel, alongside a celebrity guest judge. Jiggly Caliente also judged for three consecutive seasons, but announced in a statement, she will not return due to extensive recovery from a severe infection; she died on April 27, 2025. As of 2024, Precious Paula Nicole, Captivating Katkat, and Maxie were crowned as winners of the series.
The series is the tenth international adaptation from the Drag Race franchise. It is co-produced by Fullhouse Asia and World of Wonder, and first premiered for streaming services HBO Go and WOW Presents Plus on August 17, 2022. A spin-off from the series was made, subtitled Slaysian Royale, which brought several contestants from other franchises returning to compete in the Philippines.
