Julie Anne San Jose Controversial Church Performance, GMA Issues Statement

This is the statement of GMA regarding the performance of Julie Anne San Jose that received a backlash online.

Internet was in disbelief when Julie Anne San Jose performed inside a church and the GMA Sparkle has this statement about it.

A video of singer Julie Anne San Jose circulated online and people did not like the place where she performed her “Dancing Queen” music. Her performance was in Nuestra Señora Del Pilar Shrine in Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro, on October 6.

The event was the “Heavenly Harmony Concert” and performing inside the church and at the altar earned criticism from the people online.

She sang “Edge of Glory” by Lady Gaga, “Dancing Queen” by ABBA, and “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus in front of the altar, and these songs reportedly got the approval of the organizers.

Catholics and non-Catholics were offended by such actions. People online thought that it was common sense and that if the actress herself was a Catholic, she could have questioned the situation. However, with her long-slit, backless dress, she went on with her performance.

The dress and the songs that were chosen did not sit well with a lot of people. The parish is facing backlash for the said move as well.

Following the backlash it received, Sparkle GMA Artist Center has issued an official statement. In the statement, the GMA apologized to those who got offended and the artist center is taking full responsibility for what has transpired.

It was their job to coordinate with the organizers and relay the instructions to the artists and as for the case of San Jose, she only followed what was relayed to her. She fulfilled her responsibility as a professional artist and as a devout Catholic, she has no intention of disrespecting the Church and its members.

Sparkle also apologizes to San Jose. As they move forward, they vow to be more vigilant the next time.

The actress has not yet issued a statement regarding the issue.

Meanwhile, Julie Anne is part of ‘Pulang Araw’, the latest series from GMA.

  1. Sus! Common sense lang. Kahit d sya pagsabihan ng Sparkle dapat nagsuot sya ng damit na presentable para sa simbahan. Bago nga magmisa eh, sinasabihan ang mga tao na wag magsuot ng malalaswang damit like plunging necklines, backless, spaghetti straps at shorts
