Vega, whose legal name is Amadeus Fernando Pagente, found themselves in custody after an arrest in Manila connected to a case stemming from their ‘Ama Namin’ drag performance.
Bail for their release was established at P72,000.
A donation drive initiated for Vega’s bail has, as of Friday, gathered more than P500,000.

Frankie echoed her support by reposting the same art card on her Instagram story, featuring the message “Drag is not a crime!” and the hashtag #FREEPURALUKAVEGA.
