Entering the fabulous world of ‘Canada’s Drag Race’ season 4 are 11 queens ready to ‘sash-eh’ their way into your screens—and unsurprisingly two of them are Filipinas.
After all, each season has featured a Filipina queen on the show—Kyne in season 1, Stephanie Prince in season 2, and Kimmy Couture in season 3.
This time though, Melinda Verga and Kiki Coe are taking the reins from the fierce Filipinas who have previously graced “Canada’s Drag Race.”
