Lady Gaga Wears Filipiniana-Inspired Outfits in Her ‘Born This Way Ball’ Manila Concert
Despite the presence of conservative Catholics at the bottom of EDSA near the SM MOA Arena who are protesting against Lady Gaga‘s concert, the music event was well-attended by the pop star’s legion of Filipino fans. Some of them who can’t afford to buy a ticket gathered outside the landmark hoping to catch a peek on their idol.
Contrary to her usual outrageous costumes, Lady Gaga worn various Filipiniana-inspired outfits. She opened the show riding a black stallion.
Before performing her controversial song “Judas,” Gaga uttered a message about togetherness:
“I am not a creature of your government Manila. Tonight is all about togetherness! In our differences we are all the same. People need to be free to be who they are.”
This is the song that gathered the most criticism among Roman Catholic leaders around the world. In the Philippines, Archbishop Ramon Arguelles said “her fans are in danger of falling into the clutches of Satan.”

There are some but NOT ALL Catholics are hypocrites. You’re a VERY NARROW MINDED PERSON, OO IKAW … The problem with most of us, we’re SO JUDGMENTAL … SELF-RIGHTEOUS as if we are so damm squeaky clean … With your lines, you’re the evil person and not Lady G.
Learn to celebrate the fullness of life !!! Be happy, be responsible and be true to yourself …
Go Lady Gaga !!! My money was worth watching your concert !!!
Ikaw ang nakakatawa…wala kang alam…madami ka pang kakainin para matutu ka sa buhay…Go back to School & broaden your knowledge about life & other people’s perception…kasi ang intellect mo ay napa-narrow -minded ka…Ikaw ang Satan na sinabi mo…GAGO..
Makapag-comment ka puro mga negative…wala ka na bang alam sa buhay mo…puro pinaki-kialaman mong lahat…na puro palpak at walang kaboluhan ang mga sinasabi mo…It’s useless & not interesting at all…You are so stupid & ignorant…and I think you don’t have any manners at all…hope, you can go to HELL…so that you can be with Satan…or maybe you’re Satan yourself ???? Don’t bother…..?
Ikaw Dean Valdez Santiago…sira ulo ka…malaki na ang sira ng tuktuk mo…walang Doctor na gagamot sa iyo…kasi talamak na…anong binabastos…sa iyong pagkakaintindi kasi makipot ang iyong utak at pang-unawa mo…tinitignan mo lang ang iyong sarili na puro kasiraan…Kung sinabi kung Catholico ako…malawak ang aking pang-unawa…hindi ako nanunuri sa kapwa kahit sino…we are all the same…pare-pareho tayong mga tao…Aywan ko sa iyo…napakakitid ang UTAK mo…walang laman ang brain mo…at huwag kang makia-alam sa aking belief or opinion…At Ikaw …tuwing magpo-post ka ng comment may kasamang TAWA…parang may sira talaga ang ULO mo…or talagang ulol ka nga at malaki ang tapak ng utak….GAGO KA…makitid ang pang-unawa at dapat na mag-aral pa para madagdagan pa ang alam sa buhay…SIRA ULO…at GAGO PA….STUPID…
Magamay, maliit nga talaga brain mo hahhahaa… you go in prison ok… Freedom of speech ateh!!! fanget mo!
My God! Naiinis ako! SALVATION is Personal And A Matter of Faith! Hindi SONGS! OA lang talaga tong mga religious groups kuno…
you know guys, if you are in the music industry, you must be competitive,..lady gaga is making her own style of singing and music.admit it, we enjoyed her songs if not all, at least some of her songs..its up to you nman if you want to be a demon or not..
i am a lady gaga’s fan but be careful of saying “catholic are hypocrite” if you dont want to live in the prison..
ang isang magandang performer keeps on reinventing himself/herself para mapamanatili ang kanyang star status….. and indeed lady gaga is doing this…. pero, masama rin kung patungo sa kasalungat ang kanyang pagbabago… pwede ka namang magreinvent ng talents mo na wala kang tinatapakang iba…. kung sinasabi WAG ISIPIN LITERALLY ANG LYRICS, bakit naman kasi sadinamidami ng concept para sa kanyang kanta eh ang judas pa… eh alam naman na marami siyang matatapakan… the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH and even the BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS….THE CHURCH IS JUST PROTECTING ITS PEOPLE FROM THE FOOLISHNESS THAT LADY GAGA IS SHOWING….
basic english i mean…
any people against to lady gaga’s songs should enrol again to basing english, wherein figures of speech are being taught… lady gaga just uses a figure of speech on her songs which is metaphor… it’s just so happen that those symbolisms that she used are considered sacred and foul symbolisms by the so conservative people…
hahaha…lagot ka kay sheik…may kurot ka
anti christ? dont you know what is really meant by anti christ?…teh hindi lang sia visible or yung tinuturo na mga may car bombs or terorista…or gumagawa ng mga lyrics ng kanta may ganyang hocus pocus..actually the whole world is under the hands of Jesus’ arch enemy..oo si taning..sia ang dios ng mundo na ito at alam ko na alam mo na nasa bibliya ito dahil binanggit ito dun…pero dont worry iba ang creator at namumuno…cant still find to believe?oh well, nasa bibliya lahat yan…at dont worry, Almighty God is only giving these pathetics a few more time and then He will kick those devil’s and his followers’ ass and then…undoing all those nasty things done by these pathetics…soon justice will be served by the true living God…the creator
KENNETH! WAG KANG TANGA! , masama na nga tayo, dapat maging mapanuri tayo para di lalong maging masama, ang kanta ni Lady gago! ay may satanistic messages, research ogag! wag yung ngal ngal ka ng ngal ngal! bakit di mo ba napansin yung alejandro at Judas? o sadyang di ka marunong umetende ng English at hidden messages (taken from old meaning of the words the lyrics she is putting on her songs)..
di naman maaalis yang ganyan kasi tao pa rin, si Judas nga dating barkada ni Jesus pero nagawa niang ipagkanulo si Jesus, what more these people na nakagisnan lang nila ung mga ganyang bagay na based lang sa kung ano ang gusto ng simbahan-o deba naman, kung bibliya ang sinusunod nila eh di sana hindi sila nakikialam sa pulitika at samantalahin na lang ang pagtuturo sa mga tagasunod nila tungkol sa paggawa ngmabuti hindi lang sa mga kapatid na kagrupo kundi sa iba rin…kya nga nagkaroon ng mga inquisition at pagbabawal ng bibliya..kasi utos ng tatay nila-hindi ang pope-kundi ung ama na sinasabi ni Jesus na magiging IDOLO ng mga nagkukunwaring tagasunod ni Jesus..
kc guys ganito lang yan, either makisakay sa popularidad ni Lady Gaga or hindi nila maintindihan ung totoong message ng kanta, actually mas malala pa nga ang kanta ni madonna na like a prayer eh.. ung Indonesia iba ang reason nila kasi di naman sila catholic…haist….the catholic church truly is not a part of Jesus’ modern christian followers..why???they dont even bothered to use idols and dominic stuff in their churches..sorry for these words pero kung bibliya ang pagbabatayan, catholic has made a lots of Judas’ way to shun Jesus’ teachings….
haha..tama ka jan bords..two hands up ako sa comments mo…excuse me pero on my opinion, we shld not be judgemental kasi kung tutuusin ang catholic church ang pinakamaraming judas, diba naman, tuwing hindi na nila magustuhan ang nasa position naguunahan na sila mag protesta which ang sabi sa bible dapat hindi maging bahagi ng politika ang mga lingkod ng Dios. judas for those inseminating na bad si ganun at ganito pero ang motive is para lang makakuha ng boto at kapg nakaupo na ay manghuhudas na dahil siempre, ano pa ba gagawin ng iba sa pork barrel? siguro hindi lang nila ma gets ang totoong message ng kanta ni lady gaga sa song nia na Judas at yung iba naman na nakakaintindi eh ginagamit na paraan para lang makakuha ng gusto nila kasi malapit na agn 2013 election…parang chubibo lang yan sa systema sa lahat ng government-lalo na dito sa pinas-which is part of the Dragon as the god of this system…but the creator is the one who is the ALMIGHTY GOD…
Kenneth, ito ang dahilan kaya ang pinoys are an easy prey kala nyo ganon ganon lang but it’s not about music but about being an anti-Christ. Check http://www.vigilantecitizen.com and see what is it all about.

ANG DAPAT I-BOYCOTT YUN MGA CORRUPT SA GOBYERNO…DI BA CORONA!
STUPID TALAGA!
THEY ARE JUST THE SAME BECAUSE THE CATHOLICS ALSO WORSHIP IDOLS THAT ARE HATED BY GOD
Just like what Chynna Ortaleza said:
“When you are famous and your album sales are up, it’s automatic isn’t it?
“You are the antichrist or satanic. Do people really believe this?
“Why can’t we just be happy for another person’s success and concentrate on our own path?
“Her music has touched so many people.”
Dugtong pa niya, “I have not felt the urge to go satanic or commit anything that would ruin my morality.
“Sa mga protesters, I respect their opinion. It’s a free country.
“Conflict is usually the start of a breakthrough so let it take its course.”
nasa tao lang yan. if you appreciate the gift of music then good. kung there’s something annoying sa message or contradicting to one’s faith then he is free not to be affected. Live Jesus in our hearts.
How can you say na binastos niya si Christ. Mas makasalanan kayo for being too judgmental.
here are her songs:
Born This Way “God has no mistakes”
Judas”Jesus is my virtue”
You and I”There are three men I will serve my whole life – It’s my daddy, my nebraska guy, and Jesus Christ”
Now tell me how can you say that she’s an anti Christ?
You are much sinner than her the way you act.

IF YOU ARE FROM THE CHURCH – AND YOU ACCUSED LADY GAGA. THEN YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO BE INSIDE THE CHURCH! Take some time to learn about her childhood life, and maybe then you’ll understand her. WE ARE ALL SINNERS! We sinned different from each other! People from the church are sinners too. it’s all about bringing upo the basic principle! WHICH I LOVE and FORGIVENESS!
Lady Gaga Songs:
Born This Way
“God has no mistakes”
Judas
“Jesus is my virtue”
You and I
“There are three men I will serve my whole life – It’s my daddy, my nebraska guy, and Jesus Christ”
—Tell me, where is satan or anti-christ there? Pathetic!
ok lng naman, respeto nlng sa kagstuhan ng bawat isa, dapat.
ATEH, WAG MONG LAHATIN.KATULAD DIN YAN NG HINDI LAHAT NG MGA KAPATID MO O NG MGA KAMAG-ANAK MO AY KATULAD MONG….EWAN KO.
HINDI AKO KATOLIKO. DI RIN NAMAN AKO MIEMBRO NG KUNG ANO-ANONG SEKTA. PERO SA USAPING ITO, PUMAPANIG AKO SA MGA NAGPO-PROTESTA LABAN KAY LADY GAGA.
MAGKAMUKHA KAYO NG LADY GAGA MO.MGA GAGA KAYONG DALAWA.MGA PAKAWALA
WAG MONG LAHATIN.KATULAD DIN NG HINDI LAHAT NG MGA KAPATID MO O KAMAG-ANAK MO, KATULAD MONG TANGA.
Catholics are hipocrite!!! before you judged Gaga, look around your churches where priest are molesters, corrupt…. and judgemental!
may sungay nga si lady gaga, pero mas nauna ka magkaroon, old bitch
mabuti naman at umayos ng konti ang gagang lady na yan.hehehe.natakot siguro sa mga nagpo-proesta sa labas.hahaha. para syang isang demonyitang natangganglan ng sungay.hahaha.
she reminds me of satan
kakatawa ka. ibinandera mo pang katoliko ka.hahahaha. hilaw na katoliko/kristiano ang tawag sayo. binabastos na ang sinasamba mo, di ka pa offended.hahaha.
@starmo—excuse me—MAG-SULAT NG NG TAMA. AT KUMPLETO. Magbasa ka at manood ka ng balita. hindi lang mga katoliko ang lantarang kumokontra sa kanyang “di kanais-nais na pamarisang image”. karamihan nga sa mga nasa labas ng concert venue na nagpoprotesta ay di man mga catholics kundi mga born again, protestante, atbp.
lady gaga is an actress and singer if they disagreed with the proper wearing and proper wording of the song,,dont watch,,,lady gaga is not anti-christ….she is the new queen ,,like marilyn m,madonna and micheal cheers
if i’m in the philippines, i’ll be more than happy to watch Lady Gaga’s concert 😀
I’m not a fan of Lady Gaga…but I admired her strong character & determination …as an entertainer, she just wants to shocked people & outrageous performances on stage… & a lot of people like that ( but some questioned it )… at the of the day she doesn’t sermon, she only entertain… leave the people who like & watch it…if you don’t like it, don’t go & don’t watch it… I am a Catholic but I’m not offended or angry about it… live & let live… she doesn’t force anybody …so just ignore it… But, I like her as singer/entertainer…she’s very good…really damn GOOD. God Bless you All.
Love the outfit. Kinda reminded me of former 1st lady Imelda Marcos
Lady Gaga managed to thrill her screaming fans tonight at the SMX Arena in Manila, despite a cry to boycott her BTW Tour here, by conservative Christian groups.
