A drag brunch in Jollibee?
A video that showed drag queens performing and entertaining customers in a Jollibee store gained traction on Twitter last week.
This video came from a TikTok content creator named Niño Robert Legaspi with the handle @robertgalicia21.
The footage showed customers in their colorful drag costumes suddenly dancing and strutting their way in front of other diners. The song being played at the store is RuPaul’s “Glamazon.”

Legaspi also posted another performance from these drag queens. This time, they performed another single from RuPaul “Call Me Mother.”
“Bardagulan sa Jollibee,” he said in the caption with a fire emoji.

These tweets eventually caught the attention of drag queen fans on Twitter.
They gushed over the looks and the talents of the drag performers in the video.
“FREE (and most likely impromptu, literally out of nowhere) DRAG SHOW IN A JOLLIBEE…I love it!” one Filipino on Twitter said.
“Jollibee and some drag? Hell yeah,” another tweet reads.
“The drag brunch I need,” another Twitter user commented.
Other Twitter users, meanwhile, hoped that the branches near them could also stage such impromptu drag shows.
“Lipa branch when,” a Twitter user asked.
“When po sa Jollibee Hermosa [please],” another tweet reads.
The names of the drag queens were not identified in these videos.
The local drag scene gained more fans in last year due to the release drag reality series “Drag Race Philippines” and “Drag Den Philippines.”
