The Kapisanan ng mga Social Media Broadcasters ng Pilipinas Inc. (KSMBPI) on Monday, Oct. 23, filed charges against Drag artist Pura Luka Vega, real name Amadeus Fernando Pagente, for “offending religious feelings” over their TikTok videos allegedly mocking Jesus.

According to KSMBPI, Pagente allegedly violated Article 133 of the Revised Penal Code on “offending religious feelings” in relation to cybercrime law.

“It is dominantly apparent that respondent willfully and knowingly exhibited immoral or indecent scenes or actions that are seriously and notoriously offensive to religious feelings and / or religion,” the social media group said in a Philippine News Agency report.

KSMBPI claimed that the entire subject of Pagente’s TikTok videos did not have any literary, artistic, political or scientific value.

“The actions committed by respondent in his videos were not used for the sake of satisfying artistic tastes but rather for people desirous of fulfilling their morbid curiosity and taste, and lust, and for love for excitement including the youth who because of their immaturity are not in a position to resist and shield themselves from the ill and perverting effects of these videos,” it added.

Pagente was earlier arrested by Manila police following another criminal charge filed against them and was released on bail after 3 days.
