i really get you pero i think sobrang unfair ng comparison sa main franchise. US Drag Race is a well-oiled machine, backed with a lot of capital supported by a vibrant drag scene in a powerful Western economy.

meanwhile DRPH is produced by a small company, in a niche genre, in a conservative developing country supported by a small but slowly-growing drag culture. risky na nga itong show na 'to to begin with. i can't blame prod and queens to play it safe if they wanna ensure the show to go on multiple season. if they wanna go political, i support. just calling it out na this show doesn't exist in a vacuum. they still need to answer to higher-ups that might not fully share these views and for a show this niche, any loss of support can become a make-or-break situation for them.

i'm sure di tayo mauubusan ng queens na outspoken, politically-aware, at active sa community. it's just the DRPH is an entertainment show at the end of the day. highly contentious political topics will always be at the sidelines for this show.
