You've spread my wings, now I can fly freely, don't you know?
No matter what goes right and what goes wrong, you will always be the reason I'm not scared of travelling alone anymore and the reason why I always try to improve myself and be less shy.
You have given me so much and so many friends, I'll always be grateful to you and love you no matter what @stellajero_@imszmc@JoshCullen_s@jah447798@felipsuperior
Don't be sorry, be happy for all the good things you have done for us 💙

Addressing the "what can we do about it?" queries – a thread.
Ground rules:
1. Stay resilient - resist letting negativity erode your motivation; it's what bad players desire.
2. Be patient - we're not fully aware of the extent, and results won't be immediate.
3. Be cautious - speak only for yourself or as a fandom; do your research but avoid spreading unconfirmed info.
Actions you can take:
1. Speak out positively - support from anyone is crucial; display positive support (refer to "be cautious").
2. Pressure media outlets to investigate - but exercise caution when pressuring other artists, considering their constraints.
3. Embrace their ideals - their dream is to uplift the Philippines and artists; avoid negativity and differentiate between good and bad players.
4. Support those advocating for rights - individuals unafraid to challenge the status quo (see "be cautious").
5. Get organized - unite as fans; organized efforts are more effective. Form groups, elect leaders, plan events, and coordinate postings.
Acknowledging that change is a gradual process, adopting a strategic approach holds the potential to apply pressure on the right individuals, prompting corrective actions. It's essential to extend the dialogue beyond the main fandom, bearing in mind the intricate web of contractual obligations and legal complexities. Despite our reservations, %MGT is exercising certain rights, adding complexity to the legal battle, but our influence on public opinion remains steadfast.
In conclusion, let me underscore key points. Criticisms branding us as "white saviors" or accusing us of self-promotion fail to recognize our team's tireless dedication—working 18-hour days to support Filipino artists and standing ALONE in challenging a corrupt system. Our commitment precedes our role as artists' managers, and we would willingly assist the boys without charge, driven solely by a desire for their brighter future. We aim to instigate change, confronting a system reluctant to speak up and offering artists opportunities for creative exploration, free from the fear experienced by Esbi and artists signed by many PH companies. Our actions transcend skin color or origin; we harbor a profound love for music, people (especially the underdog), and Filipino talent. We pledge unwavering support for all artists, regardless of affiliation. Our ethos rejects infighting and gatekeeping, welcoming all contributors to transformative change. Criticizing %MGT solely for being a foreign company overlooks their substantial assistance compared to most local companies for PPOP artists. The issue extends beyond %MGT and systemic transformation in the PH is crucial. Esbi serves as a catalyst for change, demanding collective efforts to overhaul the entire system; otherwise, history will perpetuate injustices against these hard-working artists.
