caption = Maxie in 2025 native_name = native_name_lang = pronunciation = birth_name = Jayvhot Andreison Sarmiento Galang birth_date = (born October 15, 1998), popularly known by his drag name Maxie Andreison or simply Maxie and by his stage name Jayvhot G, is a Filipino drag performer, actor, singer, and activist. He is best known for competing in the second season of Queen of the Universe and winning the third season of Drag Race Philippines. Maxie is also an advocate of HIV/AIDS and the LGBT community.

Career At the age of 13, Maxie, then known as Jayvhot Galang, made his first TV appearance as a contestant on the Philippine variety and game show Wil Time Bigtime. He received a standing ovation from the audience after covering the songs "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" and "Habang May Buhay" (While There's Life) by AfterImage.

In 2013, the then-teenage Maxie was cast in the titular role of the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA)'s Maxie The Musicale: Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, a theater adaptation of the 2005 coming-of-age comedy-drama film Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros (English: The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros). The musical follows a young gay boy trying to navigate life in a tough Manila neighborhood. Maxie received critical acclaim for his performance in the musical. Walter Ang of The Philippine Daily Inquirer gave the play itself a negative review, writing that "the self-indulgent staging is overly long and overly loud" and criticized its "faulty" sound system. However, Ang described Maxie as "irrepressibly ebullient" and added, "The sound system lets up during duets and solos, allowing audiences to hear Galang's deft vocal maneuverings. While he lacks technique for some songs requiring a falsetto, his trailing curlicues and soulful delivery are great, while his torch songs and finale anthem are highlights." Likewise, Rouchelle R. Dinglasan of GMA News wrote in his review, "No doubt a belter like Jayvhot Galang would fit the role of Maxie perfectly in this musical, never mind that this was his first play. The 15-year-old, a self-confessed veteran of amateur singing contests, seemed hesitant to sing in falsetto but when he hit those birit (belted) notes, he definitely carried it with much grace and prowess." Maxie's theater debut inspired his drag name. In 2023, Maxie competed on the second season of the international drag competition series Queen of the Universe and finished in 5th place. In 2024, he won the third season of the Philippine drag reality competition Drag Race Philippines.

Early in 2025, Maxie held his first solo concert, titled Maxieverse: The Concert, over two days at the Aliw Theater and the MOA Sky Amphitheater. On August 9, 2025, he was announced as one of the hosts of TV5's music countdown show Vibe. Later, he was invited to perform at the inaugural Filipino Music Awards on October 21, 2025, where he showcased his hit songs "Tado" and "Halika Na Lika Na".

Advocacy The media has recognized Maxie as one of the youngest HIV awareness advocates in the Philippines. He has five other siblings, and one of whom is Angel, a trans woman who is also his co-competitor in Drag Race Philippines Season 3. Maxie is a gay man.

On June 28, 2026, he issued an apology for physically assaulting a trans woman in 2023 when a video of the incident resurfaced.
