Start your first week of 2023 with the freshest Drag Den queens. The theme of the show’s fifth episode airing today, Jan. 5, is Pinoy Tradition. The sneak peek teased emotional scenes with the queens and Sassa Gurl, all dressed in white wedding regalia for one of the challenges despite the absence of same-sex marriage rights in the country. So, who will be drag enforcer Francis Libiran’s favorites and who will be stirring up drama in this episode?
