By now, the lot of us are all too familiar with the religious controversy of our time. If the 2010's had the 'Poleteismo' by Mideo Cruz, the 2020's has the performance of Pura Luka Vega.

Most definitely not! At least it shouldn't be. Yet the Philippines for Jesus Movement (PJM) would take a different stance, asserting that Vega's performance violated Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC)—immoral doctrines, obscene publications and exhibitions, and indecent shows.
