World of Wonder, the production company behind the "Drag Race" franchise, confirmed the sad news and expressed condolences to the family and friends. "We are heartbroken by the loss of Misua, a talented queen who was set to compete in the fourth season of ‘Drag Race Philippines.’ She brought light, art, and joy to everyone around her and will be deeply missed," the statement reads. The family bid her farewell with an emotional message, highlighting that Jayson was a beloved son, brother, friend, and mentor who will be forever remembered by those closest to him. Misua was known in the Filipino drag community for her creativity and authentic expression. A graphic designer by profession, she had been performing for eight years and was recognized for creating nearly every aspect of her performances herself—from costumes and hairstyles to props and visual identity. She was a member of the artistic collective "Haus of LaFeya," where she found inspiration and support among like-minded artists. Her stage name was inspired by a dish her grandfather loved. The show’s third season aired last year, and the new season, in which Misua was set to participate, was in the filming stage. The premiere is reportedly scheduled for later this year.
