- The promotional material was filmed on April 23, 2023, Rubi Ocean's birthday.[17]
- Each episode took two days to film.[18]

- The season suffered from a few leaks, such as:
- Low-quality frames of Meet the Queens leaked a week prior its official release, confirming all contestants except Betina Polaroid and Diva More;[20]
- The season's trailer was published hours before planned on WOW Presents Plus, at the end of episode 1 of Drag Race Philippines Season 2, further confirming all of the contestants;[21]

- Screenshots of the tenth episode were posted on social media before the episode came out, revealing two runway looks.[23]
- Like most series of the franchise, contestants were confined in a hotel during the entire filming, were not allowed to use their phones, and interactions amongst cast members were limited.

- The cast went through a quarantine period before filming began.[25]
- Phones and passports were taken from the contestants when they arrived at the airport.[25]
- Contestants were blindfolded and had to wait in a room alone before doing their entrances.[25]
- Some contestants had to go back home with all their stuff due to issues with their yellow fever vaccine certificates, required to travel to Colombia, with some contestants not having taken the vaccine due to not knowing it was a requirement. Only after these issues were solved they were able to travel.[25]
- Production would conduct conversations between contestants, giving them topics to talk about.[25]

- Although recorded, the final group choreography for the video of "Festa com Mozão" was edited out from the episode.[31] It is unknown why it was cut from the final edit.
- The version of "Madrugatas" available on streaming services is a lot different than the one shown on the episode, featuring better sound mixing and overall rhythm, additional ad-libs, and an extended Organzza verse.[32]
- The double premiere was not planned and was instead a way for production to overcome a logistical problem they faced.[33]
