There’s a lot of voices right now so sana what I’m about to say is helpful.
The recent postponement/cancellation of the European leg of the Signal is devastating to fans everywhere. I know as well that the girls are sad about this as well. I really hope management clarifies reasons as soon as possible to quell speculations on the decision made.
In the meantime it is reasonable for Blooms to feel sad, disappointed and angry. The logistics and preparations alone to attend even just one concert may be hard to recoup. You can definitely lie low and rest from interacting with the fandom, your mental health is paramount.
What I hope fans would not do is engage in exchanges with those who obviously want to start fights and those who are obvious detractors. Don’t feed the trolls. Also avoid circulating any false information. Again there are a lot of fake news and speculations going around. One thing I know most Blooms would not do is doing mental gymnastics or rationalizing outcomes based on rumors, we are better than that. I try to talk as well within my own circle of friends regarding my frustrations so as not to add to the noise.
I am really hoping for the best. I sincerely feel bad for those who are greatly affected by this decision. Sana ok lang din ang girls, I know they can see the disappointment my Blooms everywhere.
LOL aminin nyo na special treatment ginagawa nyo sa mga nasa EDSA ngayon.
hindi kayo ganyan kapag progressive groups. Matic may pa water canon kayo pag ginulat kayong ganyan. eme-eme nyo
DJ Chacha: “Paano po yung mga naabala po nung traffic?”
Elmo San Diego: “Pag hindi niyo concern itong panawagan ng Iglesia ay wag na kayong dumaan dito kasi makakadagdag lang kayo sa problema”
DJ Chacha: “Pero kasi Sir hindi naman po yung nanggulo ay yung mga na-traffic pero ang explanation niyo po kasi ngayon sir parang paano po kami po ang mag-aadjust?”
ROAST HIM DJ CHACHA!!!! PUTANGINA ANO KAMI MAG-AADJUST????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It’s laughable and unbelievable how a media giant like ABS-CBN always struggles with PR and comms for 1 of its A-listers and breadwinners at that.
Are you in the room with us and not seeing all the callouts on failures and shortcomings to still repeat it over and over again?
I have been awake since 6 am yesterday so honestly my patience is gone. My tolerance for this incompetence is gone.
This statement is so ass, both on a PR level and a human level.
1. On a PR level: who in their right mind would release a really important statement on IG stories, with little to no details except “it’s out of out hands” and “you’ll get a refund”. Sino nag sulat nito? Gusto mo ng revisions? Please revise because this is TONE DEAF and TRANSACTIONAL. You are talking to FANS. You are talking to PEOPLE. You are talking to fans who put in money, time, and effort, and the best you could do was a fucking story? This is such bad crisis management tas madadamay pa yung girls sa kapalpakan nyo.
2. On a human level: Ano ba naman yung magkaroon kayo ng some level of care? Like gets hindi nyo sya kasalanan. Gets na out of your control. Pero to give so little when the people you’re talking to have given so much? Magpakatao naman kayo.
Once again, kung hindi talaga kayang ituloy, then hindi. Pero sana intindinin nyo na you have fans who are grieving literally LOSING MONEY (among other things), who are forced to cope with the reality na they can’t get it back. Na ang sakin ba is if wala nang magagawa about the shows, then at least have the decency to communicate it properly and with a little bit of humility.
I’m not asking for the most elaborate PR and comms strategy; I’m asking you for the bare minimum of having a little empathy. That’s all.
