MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipino drag artist Pura Luka Vega may have been declared persona non grata in Manila and many other Philippine cities, but he continues to do what he does best: impersonate characters and personalities.
Case in point, Vega impersonated Slovenian player and namesake Luka Doncic in a recent FIBA World Cup game in Manila.
Nobody recognized Vega, not even when he was ejected after receiving his second technical foul during the quarterfinal match against Canada.
Moral of the story: those persona non grata declarations don’t have teeth.
