We are creating a show very unique to the Philippines. And we are showcasing what the Philippines really has to offer -- what we can originally offer. And, we&#x27;re keeping most of the proceeds here in the Philippines and not exporting it to other countries,” she said. Manila Luzon appeared as a contestant on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” third season in 2011. He returned to the show in 2012 for the first season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars” where he got eliminated in the third episode. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/08/23/21/manila-luzons-drag-den-to-stream-on-wetv">Manila Luzon’s ‘Drag Den’ to stream on WeTV</a></li></ul>She also competed in the fourth installment of &quot;All Stars&quot; where she was controversially booted out in the eighth episode. Asked about her message for RuPaul, Manila Luzon showered the most popular drag queen in the world with gratitude for the opportunities she had received in the show. “I actually wanna thank RuPaul. RuPaul has given me opportunities beyond my wildest dream. It&#x27;s been quite an experience to be part of &#x27;RuPaul&#x27;s Drag Race.&#x27; They asked me twice and I was on the show three times. I&#x27;ve always taken advantage of those opportunities. And I want to say that I am taking that and bringing it here in the Philippines,” Manila Luzon said. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/08/17/21/drag-race-philippines-begins-casting-for-debut-season">‘Philippines, start your engines’: ‘Drag Race Philippines’ launches casting call for debut season</a></li></ul>She went on to say she is excited she to play her “RuPaul fantasy” when she starts hosting “Drag Den Philippines.”“I&#x27;m really excited to get to play my RuPaul fantasy.
