Twenty years after swallowing a magical pink space rock, Carlo Vergara’s iconic creation Zsazsa Zaturnnah continues to champion Filipino queer representation with unmatched fierceness and humor. Through the dual identity of Ada, the narrative brilliantly intertwines whimsical superhero spectacles with authentic daily struggles against societal homophobia and familial pressure.
