Yudipota Marupokpok[1], known simply as Yudipota on the show, is a Filipino drag performer and one of the contestants on the third season of Drag Race Philippines.
About[]
Yudipota is a multifaceted talent who has carved out a unique niche for herself in the world of drag. While she excels in her professional career as a virtual healthcare assistant, it's her presence on social media as a drag artist that has garnered widespread attention. Known for serving edgy, alternative looks that push the boundaries of traditional drag aesthetics, Yudipota captures her audience with her bold style and fearless attitude. Despite her larger-than-life persona on stage, Yudipota is a soft-spoken queen who commands attention with her quiet confidence and undeniable charisma.[6]
Drag Name Origin[]
"Yudipota" is a pun on the phrase hijo de puta. The name came about because she frequently swears in chatboxes at online gamers whenever she learns that another user has already claimed a username that she liked.[2] "Marupokpok" is a portmanteau of the Filipino terms marupok and pokpok.
