POLL: Drag Performance Of “The Lord’s Prayer” : Art Or Blasphemy?

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A viral video of drag queen Pura Luka Vega singing along to a remix of “Ama Namin,” otherwise known as The Lord’s Prayer, is receiving mixed reactions from netizens – Catholics and LGBTs alike.

The video, which was posted by Vega herself, shows the drag queen dressed up as the Black Nazarene while singing along to a remix of The Lord’s Prayer in a bar.

Immediately, many Filipinos condemned the performance, calling it blasphemy. Others who defended it said it was art.

This kind of controversy is anything but news. What comes to mind is the rock musical and film, “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

And who could forget the 2022 Philippine presidential campaign when supporters of Leni Robredo paraded a poster depicting her as Mary, the mother of Jesus. And oh yes, that Easter celebration that turned pinklawan!

As the leading satirical site in the Philippines and named to the top 50 in the world, The Adobo Chronicles is conducting a poll with this question:

Is the Vega performance blasphemy or art?
