A religous group called Biblemode Youth Philippines held a protest in front of Pasay City Hall against Lady Gaga and calling for her concert to be canceled because of her sexually charged lyrics and skimpy costumes according to the Associated Press. Lady Gaga's offensive music video particularly the son "Judas" alarms former Philippine Congressman Benny Abante. He said he would file suit against Lady Gaga and concert organizers if she sings “Judas” at the shows.
Concert permit was already secured but Pasay City mayor, Antonio Calixto, warned her against nudity and “lewd conduct.”
“Although we respect artistic and musical expressions, I won’t allow anyone or any group to provide acts which may be questionable in a way at any venue under my jurisdiction. We reminded the producers of Lady Gaga’s concert that the show and the event as a whole shall not exhibit any nudity or lewd conduct which may be offensive to morals and good customs.”
