Career[edit]
Bernie has been a drag performer for more than fifteen years, and has been described as "one of the most esteemed and established" queens in Manila.[3][4] She is a regular performer at O Bar.[3]
Bernie competed on season 2 of Drag Race Philippines. She was one of the first three transgender contestants on the series, alongside Captivating Katkat and M1ss Jade So. Bernie won two challenges,[5] including the girl group challenge.[6] She impersonated Madam Inutz for the Snatch Game challenge. Bernie and Captivating Katkat placed in the bottom two of the branding challenge, but both were saved from elimination after an emotional lip sync to "The Power" by Ann Raniel in which both embraced their gender identity.[7] Bernie placed in the top four and was eliminated from the competition by Captivating Katkat in a lip sync to RuPaul's "Just What They Want".[8][9]
