Pura Luka Vega was put under custody again by the authorities several days after she just posted a bail for a case previously filed against her.
On February 29, 2024, Pura received another warrant from the members of QCPD, which related to a complaint filed by three groups connected to the Philippines for Jesus Movement.
“This stemmed from a complaint filed against them by three churches affiliated with the Philippines for Jesus Movement,” Drag Den Philippines director Rod Singh said.
“The recommended bail is 360,000 pesos,” he added.
Supporters of Pura recognized the financial challenges being faced by the drag artist since he also posted bail worth P720,000 just three days ago for charges filed by the Kapisanan ng mga Social Media Brodkaster ng Pilipinas.
It’s not yet known if Luka will post bail anytime soon.
It can be recalled that Pura went viral due to her ‘Ama Namin’ performance while wearing a costume of Jesus Christ during an event.
Several personalities, including government officials, criticized Pura’s performance, calling it a disrespect to the Catholic-majority country.
