💄🫦 SHANTY GUAR HAS MADE HER DEBUT 🫦💄

Last night still feels surreal. Who would’ve thought that the aspiring drag queen who used to perform only on TikTok would one day step onto a bigger stage? I honestly just wanted to enjoy the moment — but God had a different plan. And that plan led me to become the “Lip Sync Assassin of the Night” and the “1st Runner-Up” of MC’s first-ever Drag Race 2026 👑

To my backdrop editor, Kuya Javie, thank you for helping me.

To Nailbabe by Hanna Orit, thank you for sponsoring my nail extensions. They truly made me feel extra sassy and fabulous that night.

To Ate Nadine Revilla, thank you for capturing these wonderful photos. I appreciate the time and effort you put into documenting the entire event.

To my friends, thank you for helping me prepare, boosting my confidence, and constantly reminding me that I am amazing.

To Alen and M2M GC — Nicole, Bernadette Mago, Kathleen, Jorge, and especially to our parents Yesha Alaba and Ezra, and even to my classmates, thank you for supporting me, cheering for me, and making me feel so loved, supported, and valued — especially that night.

To my clinical group, thank you for showing your support. It means a lot to me.

To my childhood friends, especially Alexa Martinez, Harvey Timothy Jimenez, and Biboy, thank you for helping me organize everything. And to Alexa, thank you for helping me prepare everything I wore. I wouldn’t have looked this beautiful without you.

And of course, to my sister / best friend / mowmager (manager) — Judemar Odi, thank you sis for being with me through my ups and downs. You’ve always been there beside me, from preparation hanggang sa mismong event. Hindi mo ako pinabayaan and you never doubted me. You are my coordinator, adviser, manager, helper, and my number one supporter.

Lastly, to my partner Mark Francis Sacay Rajas, thank you, babi, for being my constant support, my source of strength, mwua!

And also kudos to the SSC, Facilitators, Backstage Team, and Technical Team for making my debut even more memorable.

This may have been my first step onto the stage, but it definitely won’t be the last. The debut is done, the crown is calling, and your Lip Sync Assassin is just getting started. 👑🔥
