A criminal charge has been filed against Pura Luka Vega by the Kapisanan ng Social Media Broadcasters ng Pilipinas Inc. for their controversial "Ama Namin" performance posted on social media in July.
Leo Alarte of the KSMBPI submitted their organization's complaints to the Pasay City Prosecutor's Office on Monday.
The case filed by the group was in connection with violation of Article 133 of the Philippine Constitution, which talks about "offending religious feelings," as well as Section 6 of Article 201 of the Revised Penal Code in relation to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
The group said the complaints were in relation to Pura's controversial "Ama Namin" performance, which the group described as "pambabastos sa Panginoon."
The KSMBPI said they were hurt by Pura Luka Vega's Ama Namin performance, especially since the Philippines is among the Christian countries of the world.
To recall, Pura was arrested and was held under the custody of the Manila Police District Station 3 in Quiapo, Manila, after the devotees of the Black Nazarene, Hijos del Nazareno, filed a complaint.
Pura was released after posting bail after three days of being incarcerated.
He expressed surprise to be served the arrest warrant as they did not receive the subpoena summoning them to court. They said the document was delivered to another address.
Pura also reiterated that their "Ama Namin" performance was not meant to be disrespectful to people of faith.
