Manila Luzon delivered an emotional tribute to her close friend Jiggly Caliente, who passed away at 44 due to a severe infection. In a heartfelt video, she reminisced about their 20-year friendship, sharing anecdotes from their early days at a New York gay club to their adventures filming audition tapes for RuPaul's Drag Race. Manila infused humor with nostalgia, recalling Jiggly's passion for beauty pageants and the fun times they shared aspiring for success together in the entertainment industry. The tribute highlighted their deep bond and mutual support throughout their journeys in drag.
It all started back at The Web, the gay Asian club in New York, where Jiggly wanted Manila to get the Miss Gay Asia America crown.
We supported each other, we helped each other along, we read each other constantly and we annoyingly dreamed big together.
She would get in full glam just to watch Miss Universe on TV. But she's Filipino, so there might be some Spanish blood in there.
We filmed her in that Apple Store glass elevator, it was like the full Beyoncé production level, even if it was giving Augustus Gloop.
