CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro (PNA) – Drag queen Pura Luka Vega is no longer welcome in this province.
Provincial board member Roland Ruga on Wednesday told the Philippine News Agency in an email that the body has voted to declare Vega, whose real name is Amadeus Fernando Pagente, persona non grata.
The measure was filed before the SP on August 24 by Calapan City Councilor Rhona Leachon, who sits on the board as president of the League of Councilors. “On July 10, drag artist Pura Luka Vega uploaded videos exhibiting a performance of the Lord’s Prayer in an attire portraying the Black Nazarene. His posts enraged the public, with some even describing it as sacrilegious, blasphemy, and disrespectful,” said Dolor in his letter to the board.
