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.

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines’ unemployment rate inched up to 4.5% in June, bringing the total number of jobless Filipinos to 2.3 million, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported on Wednesday, August 9.

The latest figure is slightly higher than the 4.3% registered last May. On a month-on-month basis, the number of unemployed persons increased by 159,000.

The latest figure, however, is better compared to June 2022, when the unemployment rate stood at 6%. On a year-on-year basis, the number of unemployed persons decreased by 633,000.

Meanwhile, the underemployment rate stood at 12%, equivalent to 5.87 million employed Filipinos who expressed the desire to have additional hours of work. In June 2022, the underemployment rate was estimated at 12.6%, while it was 11.7% in May 2023.

Senator Cynthia Villar plans to take developers involved in Manila Bay reclamation projects to the Supreme Court over fears that these would cause massive flooding in her bailiwick, Las Piñas.

Citing forecasts, Villar said Las Piñas might be submerged in at least six feet of water once the reclamation projects are completed because floods will have difficulty flowing through Manila Bay.

“I’m taking them [to the Supreme Court.] If they don’t revise [their plan], we have no choice. Will I allow my hometown to be submerged in a six-foot flood?” she said.

“If they continue with the reclamation in our part of Manila Bay, there will be no outlet for our four rivers. It was predicted that there will be six to eight meters of flooding. Six meters is a three-story building,” Villar added.

The wife of the Philippines’ richest man, Manny Villar, said the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, which she chairs, will conduct an investigation soon about the reclamation projects in Manila Bay.
