"The cast and crew of Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale have revealed that they found out about Jiggly Caliente's passing during the filming of the latest episode. The latest addition to the RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars format is the currently airing Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale, which for the first time brings together all Asian queens to battle for a crown for the second time. The series features queens from across the globe, and is hosted by Drag Race Philippines main judge Paolo Ballesteros (known as Mama Pao)."
"For the first three season of Drag Race Philippines, OG Drag Race girl Jiggly Caliente also judged the show. In April, it was announced that she would not be returning as a judge due to a "severe infection" which led to the amputation of her right leg. Caliente died days after the announcement, aged 44. And now, Slaysian Royale guest judge Captivating Katkat, who won Drag Race Philippines season two, has revealed why the cast and judges of the show were so emotional during the latest episode; because they had found out that Jiggly had passed that day, during filming."
