General Santos City has declared persona non grata to controversial drag queen Pura Luka Vega following her performance that went viral&nbsp;wherein she was dressed as the Black Nazarene and used the upbeat and remixed "Ama Namin" in a club performance.&nbsp;
In a resolution dated July 18, the local government of General Santos City deemed the drag queen's "Ama Namin" remix as blasphemous and clearly offended the Christian community.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Persona non grata&rdquo; is a Latin term that translates to an "unwelcome person.&rdquo;
Pura Luka Vega has yet to comment on the declaration, however, she earlier said that she is <a href="https://dzrh.com.ph/post/cbcp-on-ama-namin-remix-performance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not sorry</a> for the viral performance which intends to express queerness.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
"I was very careful when I did that [because] I don't want it to come across as something as very offensive. But then again, it has been taken as very offensive," she said.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Pura said she is a Roman Catholic, and the performance was kind of her "way of praising god."
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The queer artist said she does not understand why her video drew public clamor.
Some senators also <a href="https://www.dzrh.com.ph/post/senators-reacts-to-viral-%22ama-namin%22-drag-performance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned</a> Pura's performance, saying that it is an "extremely blasphemous and offensive video" and a mockery of the Christian faith and disrespects The Lord's prayer.
