“Julie Anne only fulfilled her duties and commitment as a true professional. She is a devout Catholic and had no intention of disrespecting the Church or its members,” the statement read.

San Jose’s controversial performance, which was for the benefit of the parish’s “Harana para kay Maria” concert, included her singing songs such as Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory,” ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” and Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb.” While the songs were approved by the organizers, netizens deemed them inappropriate for the event held inside the parish.

Following the controversy, San Jose also issued an apology on her Instagram story, promising that the incident would not happen again.
