In Episode 9 of Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale, Brigiding once again proved she’s the brightest star, earning her third RuBadge of the season. She becomes only the second queen in the Philippine franchise — after Maxie Andreison — to hit this milestone, securing her place in the Top Four and edging closer to the crown.
The episode opened in reflection, as the queens joined Mama Pao and Kaladkaren to share the highs, lows, and lessons of their journeys. Brigiding’s moment was honest, emotional, and grounded in growth. She looked back at her first season — how being humbled then gave her the strength to rise now.

For the maxi challenge, the queens wrote and recorded verses for “High Time,” the debut single by REYN4 — the girl group composed of Marina Summers, Maxie Andreison, Precious Paula Nicole, and Captivating Katkat. Brigiding turned her verse into a declaration of rebirth: “I’ve been through the fire, I’ve been through the storm. Rubirth. Rubranded. I was born to transform.”
On the runway, under the category “Award Giving Body-yodi-yodies,” Brigiding gave more than just glamour. She presented her self-made award, the Kikinang Ina, and spoke from the heart: “This award is a reminder that the shining light is already within you—and that same light can guide others to find their own… I shine not to outshine, but to illuminate the way for my sisters and the next generation to sparkle even brighter. Kikinang Ina ako. Kikinang Ina ka rin.”
The performance earned her a fifth challenge win and another defining moment in her drag journey. “I didn’t expect this win at all,” she said. “This experience taught me that humility makes you stronger… I dedicate this to everyone who believed in me and everyone who helped me find my light.”
The episode ended with a fiery lip-sync to Morissette’s “Power” between Viñas Deluxe and Suki Doll — and both queens advanced. Now, the finale is set: Brigiding, Arizona Brandy, Viñas Deluxe, and Suki Doll.
Slaysian Royale wraps soon on WOW Presents Plus. And Brigiding? She’s shining exactly where she belongs.
