MANILA, Philippines — The Manila city council declared Pura Luka Vega a “persona non grata” in the city during a session on Tuesday, condemning the drag artist’s impersonation of Jesus in performances.

All 26 councilors who attended the session, which was presided by Vice Mayor Yul Servo Nieto and Majority Floor Leader Jong Isip, approved the resolution proposed by District 5 Councilor Ricardo Isip Jr. to have Vega – real name Amadeus Fernando Pagente – proclaimed unwelcome in Manila for performances portraying the Black Nazarene of Quiapo Church, which the lawmakers believe is a symbol of the city.
