“Drag Race PH” S3 winner gets candid about criticism, urges compassion and understanding this Pride Month.
“Drag Race PH” S3 winner Maxie Andreison is urging the public to choose grace and understanding over ‘cancel culture’ in the spirit of Pride.
During a vulnerable public admission at GLAMM 2026, Maxie opened up about the heavy emotional toll of the recent online uproar. The intense criticism stemmed from a recent interview with radar Entertainment, where her remarks regarding the hotel discrimination incident involving fellow drag artist M1ss Jade So drew heavy flak from netizens.
Admitting that the past few days have been incredibly difficult, Maxie expressed heartbreak over how quickly her missteps have overshadowed her lifelong LGBTQIA+ advocacy. “Doon ko lang din nalaman na ang bilis-bilis manghusga ng buong mundo. Napakabigat po,” she shared. “Parang nangingibabaw ‘yong mga mali kong ginawa kesa ‘yong mga nagawa ko simula noong bata pa ako.”
“Nandito ako ngayong araw na to dahil gusto kong ipakita sa inyo na patuloy pa rin akong lalaban para sa aking komunidad at hindi magbabago yun. Ayun lagi ang advocacy ko at ayun lagi ang gusto kong mangyari. Happy Pride 🏳️🌈 Mahal ko kayong lahat ❤️🩹”

Maxie clarified that she has never had ill intentions toward her community, lamenting how some individuals seemed eager to wait for her downfall.
Pushing back against toxic online behaviors, she reminded everyone of the movement’s true essence: “Sana ngayong Pride, ang mangibabaw sa atin ay ‘yong pagmamahalan natin… Ang Pride is love. Hindi siya hate. Hindi siya cancel. Hindi siya negative. It’s love.”
Maxie pleaded for the public to forgive her as swiftly as they had condemned her, concluding her message with a firm vow that her dedication to fighting for queer rights remains unbroken.
“Nandito ako ngayong araw na ito dahil gusto kong ipakita sa inyo na patuloy pa rin akong lalaban para sa aking komunidad at hindi magbabago ‘yun,” she declared.
