Katkat, the captivating winner of Drag Race PH Season 2, supports the Right to Care Card for Couples Who Are LGBTQI+

One of the most well-known drag performers in the nation, Captivating Katkat, is using her victory in the second season of Drag Race Philippines as a platform to advocate for equality.

The drag queen, who is a Quezon City resident herself, shared photos from a courtesy visit with Mayor Joy Belmonte, who recently launched the Right to Care Card in Quezon city. The initiative gives LGBTQIA+ couples a way to participate in crucial medical decisions for their partners and is hailed as a regional civil rights milestone.

696 couples or 1,392 members of the LGBTQIA+ community have registered to acquire their cards since the program’s debut at the Pride PH festival in June. These cards give their partner special power of attorney (SPOA) for medical treatment. As more people demand the same in other cities, the number keeps rising.

The office of the mayor also posted its own set of photos from their meeting. “Boogsh! Maraming salamat, RuPaul’s Drag Race PH Season 2 Winner Captivating Katkat, para sa pagbisita sa Quezon City Hall! Mainit na tinanggap ni Mayor Joy Belmonte si Captivating Katkat sa kanyang tanggapan ngayong umaga para sa isang courtesy call,” posts the official’s account.

The Right to Care Card initiative is a collaboration between the administration of Quezon City and the marketing and advertising firm MullenLowe TREYNA.
