Divine Divas Glisten with Confidence this Pride Month in Debut Single 'Oh, Divine Diva'

“Drag Race Philippines” season 1 stars Brigiding, Precious Paula Nicole, and Viñas Deluxe known as the trio Divine Divas have released their debut single “Oh, Divine Diva” in time for Pride Month.

The dance-pop track sends an empowering message of being brave enough to own the spotlight and having the confidence to face life’s challenges.

“Tayo ang unang papalakpak sa koronang tayo mismo sa sarili ang nagsuot, unang makakaunawa sa talentong gusto nating ipakita sa mundo at unang tatanggap ng pagkataong gusto nating makilala ng kahit sino. Patuloy nating itaas ang bandera at iparada ang korona. Ipaalala mong wala kang hindi kaya kasi isa kang divine diva,” Precious said. 

“It’s about being your own diva and finding your own voice. You are your own diva, wherever you came from, whatever you've been through, continue to fight because your perfect time will come ” Brigiding and Viñas added.

“Oh Divine Diva” was composed by Loriebelle Darunday, Elmar Jan Bolano, Justin Ian Catalan, and Liza Dinio Seguerra and produced by StarPop label head Roque “Rox” Santos who also did its vocal production with Ice Seguerra. Meanwhile, ABS-CBN Music head Roxy Liquigan and creative director Jonathan Manalo served as its executive producers.

During the pandemic, the trio formed the Divine Divas through various Facebook livestreams where they performed and interacted with their fans. As they recounted their “Drag Race PH” journey, Brigiding emphasized that it gave them a huge learning experience to open more doors of possibilities as a drag star. 

“Learning is the new winning. You never lose. Only you have the power to change and carve the path to your future,” she said.

For Viñas, trust and a heart full of passion fueled her to rise above life’s challenges. The drag queen shared, “Magtiwala sa sarili para laging wagi. Kung may gusto ka sa buhay at pinagtrabahuhan mo nang buong puso mo at makakamit mo ito.”

Meanwhile, Precious looks back on winning the reality competition series as a reminder to celebrate individuality and to enjoy every fleeting moment of life.

“Sabi ko nga nung pumasok ako sa ‘Drag Race Philippines Season 1,’  ‘wag lang ako ma-porkchop queen okay na ko, pero higit pa doon ang nabigay at naituro sa akin ng DRPH at ‘yon ay yung maging ikaw lang, just be yourself sa lahat ng pagkakataon. Take one step at a time and enjoy every moment. Laban sa lahat ng challenge! Hindi lahat ng akala nating madali ay kaya na natin, dapat lagi tayong handa lumaban!” she shared.

As a trio, they held their first major concert “Divine Divas Live” in New Frontier Theater last year. Recently, they also achieved their breakthrough in the global scene with their stellar performance in DragCon UK. They likewise opened their drag club RAMPA this year.
