The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) may possibly file charges against the drag artist Pura Luka Vega who went viral on social media after wearing a Jesus Christ costume while singing a remixed version of the mass song ‘Ama Namin’.

In an interview with CNN Philippines, CBCP’s spokesperson Fr. Jerome Secilliano, called the performance of Vega ‘disrespectful’.

“It is very clear there that some elements of our faith, sacred elements at that, were used for secular purposes, especially for entertainment,” the priest said.

“When I first saw it, I feel disgusted really,” he stated.

He also didn’t buy the alibi made by Vega, who claimed that his performance was also an act of worship.

Secillano also reminded the Catholics to avoid elements of the Church for entertainment like what Vega had done.

Meanwhile, he said that CBCP would allow other priests to file charges against Vega.

 “They are free to do what they want, for example filing a case or whatever,” he said.

In his Facebook post, Secillano also discussed the possible legal charges against Vega.

“Art. 201 of the Revised Penal Code may be applicable,” Secillano said.

The Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code prohibits, “Immoral doctrines, obscene publications and exhibitions, and indecent shows,”

She already refused to give an update about the charges she filed against Vhong.

Voltes V: Legacy head writer Suzette Doctolero urged Tito Sotto to stop spreading misleading information against TAPE Inc. after the latter claimed that the production company’s current officials only arrived on February 2023.

It can be recalled that Sotto expressed disappointment with the plans of TAPE Inc. to celebrate the 44th anniversary of Eat Bulaga despite the decision of the original hosts to leave the show.

“Ano itatapat nila eh wala naman sila doon in the last 43 years? Feb lang pumasok mga new officers then June ito mga bagitong hosts,” said Sotto.

However, several TAPE defenders believed that Sotto do not have access with the internal issues happening in the production company, saying that Sotto, including Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, were only mere employees.

Suzette, in her tweet, shared a screencap showing the board meeting of TAPE Inc. in 2019, showing that Jon, Bullet, and Soraya Jalosjos were already part of the production company.

“Bawal magsinungaling now kasi may mga resibo.” said Suzette.

In her previous posts, Suzette also called out TVJ and called them liars for trying to put GMA Network in a bad light.

“Nanlaglag? Sinong nilaglag? Si Kuya Germa nga hanggang mamatay may show e. Baka naman kasi nauna nang nakipagsundo sa kabila bago malaman ng GMA na me problema na pala? Wag hula at puro tsismis alamin ang totoo.” she stated.

Claudine Barretto’s lawyer, Atty Ferdinand Topacio, gave a three-day ultimatum to returning actress Sabrina M. to recant the story about her alleged ‘secret relationship’ with the late actor Rico Yan.

In an interview with veteran columnist Cristy Fermin, the lawyer said that Sabrina possibly committed a possible contravention when she claimed that she had a relationship with Rico before he passed away in 2002.

According to Topacio, Sabrina possibly tarnished the image of the late actor and his client, who’s also the former girlfriend of Rico.

“Pinalalabas po kasi ni Sabrina M na si Rico Yan ay two-timer at alam naman daw ni Claudine, kung alam ito ni Claudine ay napakababa naman ng moralidad ni Claudine na pumapayag siya na dalawa sila sa buhay ni Rico Yan?” said Topacio.

“Mag-apologize ka na lang Sabrina M since iisang mundo lang ginagalawan natin at ‘wag naman tayong gumamit ng taong wala na rito sa mundo hindi niya maipagtanggol ang sarili niya dahil wala na siya,” he added.

Topacio said that they would explore legal actions against Sabrina if the actress refused to make a public apology to Claudine and Rico’s family.

“Will give you three days hanggang Linggo Sabrina M, marami namang talk shows please mag-sorry ka na lang kay Claudine, mag sorry ka sa pamilya ni Rico Yan, mag sorry ka sa alaala ni Rico Yan. Otherwise much to our regret ay kailangan po kaming kumilos sa paraang legal,”  he stated.

It can be recalled that Rico’s passing was the most followed topic in the country that year and even his burial was one of the most-attended funerals in the history of the country after 20,000 fans paid their final respect to the actor.

That’s why many showbiz reporters, including Cristy, couldn’t believe the account of Sabrina.

Even a close friend of Sabrina, Katrina Paula, already debunked the story made by the actress.

Journalist Bernadette Sembrano interviewed one of the most popular comedians in the country, Romy “Dagul: Pastrana, and talked about the latter’s current situation amid his semi-retire life from showbiz.

During the interview with Sembrano, Dagul said that one of his dreams was to see his daughter Jkhriez follow in his footsteps.

According to him, his time had already passed, and he wanted his daughter to see the beauty of showbusiness.

“Sa totoo lang, pag may mga kausap ako na artista, producer, sinasabi ko na ‘yan ‘pwede po tulungan niyo ang anak ko?’ kasi ako pawala na, kaya gusto ko na masaksihan niya kahit wala [na] ko, ipagpatuloy niya,” said Dagul.

“Palaos na ako eh, tulad niyan hindi na ako nakakalakad, hindi makatakbo, so ang role ko talagang limitado lang, so na-belong ka na sa laos,” he added.

However, Jkhriez insisted that her father was still popular, especially on social media.

“Lagi niyang sinasabi na laos siya, pero maraming tao na nakatingala sa kanya,” she said.

“Legacy ka parin sa mata ng tao,” she added.

Jkhriez also shared that she encouraged her father to create content on social media because many fans were missing him after leaving his last show, ‘Goin’ Bulilit’ in 2019.
