Gen San council declares Pura Luka Vega persona non grata

The General Santos City council has declared drag queen Pura Luka Vega 'persona non grata' due to her "Ama Namin" drag performance.

The resolution, passed during the 20th Sangguniang Panlungsod's 40th regular session, also condemned the performance.

The council acknowledged freedom of speech and expression but stated the resolution reflects the sentiments of the city's predominantly Christian population.

This action follows criticism from other government officials, including Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, Senator JV Ejercito, and Representative Geraldine Roman, who deemed the performance "blasphemous".

Despite the mixed reactions and official condemnation, Pura Luka Vega has maintained their stance on the performance.
