"Drag Den Philippines" has finally revealed its Top 3 finalists on Thursday's episode of the Filipino drag show.

In Episode 6, Manila Luzon announced the ranking of the queens, which are as follows: Pura Luka Vega (8), O-A (7), Aries Night (6), Lady Gagita (5), Barbie-Q (4).

The top three finalists, namely Maria Cristina, Shewarma, and NAIA are set to compete for the remaining two episodes as they vie for the crown of being the Philippines' first Drag Supreme.

Earlier in the episode, the eight competing queens flaunted their best "Pinoy Protest Fashion" for the theme wear competition.

O-A amplified the violation of human rights in the working sector, Aries Night reimagined the art "The Spoliarium" by Juan Luna through a black and red ensemble, Pura Luka Vega delivered a speech on gun violence, and Barbie-Q appealed for transwomen to be considered as women.

For the main drag showdown, each queen had to express their advocacies by answering a general question: If you could eliminate any social issue that disempowers women, LGBTQ people, and the youth, what would it be and why?

Barbie-Q kicked off the runway by speaking about fighting for the rights of transgender people, NAIA talked about being bullied for airing out her advocacies and powering through it, Pura Luka Vega amplified the importance of mental health, and Lady Gagita talked about being confident despite criticisms.

Meanwhile, Maria Cristina spoke about the "victims" of broken families, O-A delivered a speech about being gay and embracing it, Shewarma talked about body positivity, and Aries Night spoke about the separation of church and state.

"Drag Den Philippines" airs on Prime Video Philippines every Thursday at 7 p.m.
