Pura was arrested on Wednesday after a religious group filed a complaint before a Manla court over the viral Ama Namin rock version.

A fundraiser was made on behalf of Pura and was able to fetch more than P500,000 in donations.

A motion for bail was filed by the camp of Pura where the drag queen asked that the bail bond be lowered which then stood at P72,000.

In a television interview, Pura maintained that the “Ama Namin” performance was not in any way meant to be disrespectful of one’s faith
