This is exactly what the Philippine Educational Theater Association's (PETA) latest musical comedy-drama is set to show. In "Care Divas," five ->-bleeped-<- overseas workers traveled to Israel in the time of the Intifada (Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation) to work as caregivers while moonlighting as drag queens.

After spending their days showing the unique Pinoy hospitality by caring for elderly Jews, five Pinoys transform into fabulous ->-bleeped-<-s to perform as glamorous drag queens in a Tel Aviv club.

" wildly talented gay men (a.k.a. ->-bleeped-<-s)."

MANILA, Philippines—Diva no longer just refers to glass-breaking female singers. The newest onstage play has redefined divas to include independent and wildly talented gay men (a.k.a. ->-bleeped-<-s).
