Ayaw nang patulan ni Julie Anne San Jose ang ilang namba-bash sa performance niya sa isang benefit concert sa Mamburao, Mindoro, noong October 6, 2024.
Pinamagatang Heavenly Harmony Concert, Harana Para Kay Maria, sa simbahan ng Nuestra Señora Del Pilar Shrine na beneficiary ng concert ang venue.
Kasama ni Julie Anne na nag-perform ang The Clash Season 3 champion na si Jessica Villarubin.
Nag-trending ang video ng isang performance ni Julie Anne kung saan humataw siya ng disco song na "Dancing Queen," habang naka-gown na may slit.
Pinuna ito ng ilang netizens dahil kumanta si Julie Anne sa altar na pinagmimisahan. Doon mismo ang venue ng benefit concert.
JULIE ANNE SAN JOSE'S REACTION
Hiningi ng PEP Troika ang sagot dito ng taga-Sparkle, na nangangalaga sa career ni Julie Anne, pero ayaw na raw itong sagutin ng Limitless Star.
Yun din naman ang pananaw ng karamihan na hindi lahat na bashing ay dapat patulan.
Pero ipinaliwanag ng ilang taong malapit kay Julie Anne na bago sila pumunta sa naturang event, pina-approve daw nila lahat ito sa organizer ng concert.
Pati ang suot ni Julie Anne at ang lineup ng kakantahin niya ay pina-approve din.
Nilinaw nilang hindi naman iyon religious concert, kahit sabihin pang sa simbahan ito ginanap.
Hindi naman nagtinda o ginawang palengke ang simbahan. Nag-perform lang sina Julie Anne at nagpasaya sa mga nanood.
Kasalanan ba yun? Blasphemous ba yun? Wala bang paggalang sa simbahan?
Ang nakakalungkot lang dito, sobrang below the belt na ang ibang nam-bash at nagtanong sa amin kung sino kaya ang nagkasala rito?
“Sa entertainment side lang po sina Julie Anne at Jessica. Kahit yung bishop at parish priest ay wala namang nakitang masama sa ginawa nila,” pakli ng isang nakausap ko na malapit sa nabanggit na Sparkle artists.
Ang hirap lang daw patulan ang ganung pamba-bash dahil papasok na raw dito ang isyu ng religion, gayung nag-perform lang sila.
