Rafa Siguion-Reyna enjoys performing as a drag queen 

May 24, 2016 18:54 pm

In an event for Artist Center last May 19, Rafa Siguion-Reyna made a grand entrance when he entered the room in full drag while lip-syncing to "I Am What I Am" by Gloria Gaynor.

Of course, we at GMANetwork.com had to interview Rafa about the crazy performance he just did.

Right off the bat, Rafa immediately admitted that this wasn't his first time donning drag this year.

"This is my seventh time doing drag for different occasions, 'Pag press con, ito 'yung gimik ko."

If he is doing drag to get attention, well he certainly has ours! Aside from press conferences, he also performs in drag as a dancer in the stage play "La Cage Aux Folles."

Rafa admitted that he was inspired by Comedy King Dolphy. "Actually, 'nung napanood ko 'yung "Markova" with Dolphy, naisip ko na kahit straight, nakakapag-perform sila in drag so sabi ko 'That's something I'd like to do.'"

Lastly, Rafa shared what he believes is his edge against other actors. "Maraming gwapo sa showbiz 'eh so I need to set myself apart, mapa-drag, kontrabida, LGBT, kahit ano! I've always been known to do weird roles," Rafa said.
