Filipino drag queen Pura Luka Vega may face criminal charges over her performance of an upbeat and remixed version of “Ama Namin” or the Lord’s Prayer, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said Thursday.
For such a performance, Zubiri said a criminal case can be filed under Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code and urged the authorities to look into the matter. For Zubiri, the act merits condemnation not only by Christians but people of all religions whose practice of their faith should not be mocked for private gain or for a few theatrical laughs.
“As a woman of faith, I admit I personally find this regrettable. Alam ko madami ding miyembro ng LGBTQIA+ community, persons of faith among them, find this regrettable,” Hontiveros said. For Jayeel Cornelio, a sociologist and an associate dean for research and creative work at the Ateneo De Manila University, it's all about translating the performance into our own conclusions.
