MANILA — Your Tita Baby's emotional moment in "Drag Race Philippines season 3 proves that in drag, age is just a number.

During the "Snatch Game" challenge of the show, the drag queen was glad for the good comments she received from the judges.

"Portraying a fictional character is very risky. Ikaw ang magbibigay buhay kay Kamatayan and you did it very successfully," KaladKaren said of Your Tita Baby's performance.

To Your Tita Baby's surprise, her boyfriend Josen Uy gave a message and said: "I am so, so, so proud of you ... I love you, I can't wait for you to come back home but not too soon."

The drag queen recalled her first moments with Uy and how supportive he is to her drag career. 

"When we started dating, that was 7 years ago, it took a while for me to show him my drag pictures during Halloween, super shocked siya... 'You're a drag queen.' Sabi ko, 'Hindi Nagda-drag lang ako 'pag Halloween.' Sabi niya, 'No, you're a drag queen.' Ta's 'yung first set of makeup (ko), siya ang bumili," Your Tita Baby said. 

"Then, he started buying clothes, buying wigs, buying shoes for me kasi parang 'you're happy when you do this' and it's rare for someone my age to have a second chance at f*****g life," she added. 

"I failed so much in my past and it's f*****g tiring to fail over and over and over again, so f*****g tiring and then you find someone, one person who switches that switch and changes everything, it changes everything." 

Khianna and Popstar Bench realized how Your Tita Baby is a testament of how drag is for all ages, sharing the sentiment of how they look up to her.

"Wala talaga sa edad ang pagiging drag queen and that inspires me so much and sobrang galing ni Tita Baby ... I'm so filled of love because of her and she inspires me," Khianna said. 

"Sana maging matatag si Tita Baby sa pagda-drag kasi finally nakamit niya na 'yung happiness niya," Popstar Bench added.

Your Tita Baby expressed how she also looks up to the other queens in the cast and how lucky they are to pursue the profession. 

"You're all so lucky, you have seen, experience, and chose this life for you kasi... ang sayang maging queen, ang sayang mag-inspire ng ibang tao. And at your age, I look up to you, I look up to each one of you. Alam niyo 'yan, sinasabi ko sa inyo 'yan," she said.

All episodes of “Drag Race Philippines” and its “Untucked” segment are available on WOW Presents Plus and HBO Go.

The Emmy Award-winning original series has featured the talents of Filipino drag queens in the US and several overseas editions through the years.
