Is a Philippine franchise of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in the offing? That remains to be seen, well-loved Filipino American drag queen Manila Luzon admitted, but should there be one, she would be more than willing to lend a hand.

Manila, who finished first runner-up in “Drag Race’s” third season, isn’t sure if hosting will be the most fitting task for her because she’s not fluent in Filipino. But she will be there in whatever capacity, she said, if it meant promoting the local drag scene.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the movement restrictions put a damper on Manila’s career plans last year. Now, she’s ready to “pick up the pieces” and “move forward.” Now that she’s with Cornerstone, Manila intends to pursue different projects in the Philippines. Music, for one, is something she would love to dabble in.

Manila has always felt welcomed in the Philippines during her past visits. And while she knows that many Filipinos come from “very religious backgrounds,” she believes that the country is “on the right track for more acceptance” and toward “loving each other.” “Just be proud of who you are and go out there. Celebrate who you are,” she said. “Make sure to take some extra time this year to love yourself. Be more accepting of who you are. I know that it has been a long year, and I know that we have all struggled in some way. But it’s good to just take that time to look at yourself in the mirror and say you’re worth it.”
