The self-proclaimed “glamorous aswang” of “Drag Race Philippines” (“DRPH”) Season 3 has offered the reality show a taste of refined branding.
One of the drag contestants, Yuidip*t*’s unexpected exit from the season, however, shocked some fans who knew she had so much more to offer.
On the fourth episode of the reality contest, the Bacolod queen walked out during a lip sync battle withcontender, J Quinn, ultimately eliminating herself.
However, Yudi clarified on her YouTube channel that the move was for her own peace of mind and that she felt exhausted during the competition.
Moving forward, she uploaded on social media the looks that would have made the runway if she had stayed.
Her ’90s notebook cover look garnered over 244,000 views and 5,900 likes on X, formerly Twitter, as of writing.

When asked by Precious what her branding was, Yudi said “avante garde” and with “shock factor.”
“That’s what I always think—na is there a shock factor in this look? If walang shock factor, it’s gonna be a chop,” she said.
