11:19Now PlayingA provocative performance by Filipina drag queen Pura Luka Vega, in which she dressed as Jesus Christ and danced to a remixed version of the Catholic worship song "Ama Namin" (Our Father), has ignited a firestorm of debate in the predominantly Catholic Philippines. Vega's act, which went viral on social media, has been denounced by many religious Filipinos, lawmakers, and even members of the LGBTQIA+ community as "blasphemous" and "disrespectful to the Catholic Church." Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri suggested Vega's performance might violate Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code, which prohibits "offending races or religions in the performance of obscene or indecent plays, scenes, acts or shows." However, Vega defended her performance, stating, “I understand that people call my performance blasphemous, offensive, or regrettable. However, they shouldn’t tell me how I practice my faith or how I do my drag… That performance was not for you to begin with. It is my experience and my expression of having been denied my rights.”
