World of Wonder announced that Maxie was crowned as the winner of the third season of Drag Race Philippines, receiving a grand prize of ₱1,000,000, a year’s supply of products from Anastasia Beverly Hills, and the title of the Philippines’ Next Drag Superstar. Maxie was crowned following an emotional final lip sync for the crown against Khianna to the song ‘Lipad ng Pangarap’ by Angeline Quinto and Regine Velasquez.
Earlier in the episode, the final four queens, Angel, Khianna, Maxie, and Tita Baby, were challenged to deliver three looks in a finale ball as well as perform in the T.I.T.E (Totally Impressive Talent show Extravaganza), marking the first time in Drag Race her-story biological siblings (Angel and Maxie) competed for the final crown. At the ball, each queen served three fierce looks and in the T.I.T.E, Angel and Khianna performed original songs, Maxie sang an original song live, and Tita Baby gave an experimental flight attendant performance. Following the final four’s performances at the ball and the T.I.T.E., host Paolo Ballesteros chose Maxie and Khianna to advance to the final lip sync for the crown.
Additionally in the finale, all the previously eliminated queens returned to the main stage where it was ru-vealed that the 11 queens voted Versex as this season’s Miss Congeniality, earning her a cash prize of ₱40,000.
