Misua, a contestant who was set to appear on the upcoming fourth season of Drag Race Philippines, has sadly passed away.

“She brought light, artistry, and joy to those around her, and she will be deeply missed,” the statement read.

“We are in contact with her family who have asked for privacy during this time.”

World of Wonder say they have paused production to support the cast, crew and broader team during this difficult time.

This is the second heartbreaking tragedy the Drag Race Philippines team have had to face in recent years, following the sudden illness and death of judge and former US contestant Jiggly Caliente in April 2025.
