— Amid religious uproar, Pura Luka Vega, the drag queen behind the viral"Ama Namin" video, said her performance was not meant to disrespect or blaspheme but instead challenge the notions of praise and worship.
"If you would ask naman me what my religion is, it's really Roman Catholic – not a devout one – but I respect and I know how it is. Then again, I also did that intentionally to challenge our notions of how we worship or how we sing our praise," Vega said on Twitter Spaces. "It offends the sensibilities of our Christian brothers and sisters, deeply demeans the faith of millions of Filipinos, and dangerously scales the boundaries of protected speech and expression," Zubiri said.
