Ang funny lang if SBY48 is for PH48 pala talaga noh? Haha #MNL48

[Juice Pancho @juice_pancho]

Why its possible to have a "new" PH48? Japan attempted to save the MNL48 franchise from hhe by creating MNL48/POS Inc sadly hostage ng hhe yung trademark and rights.
They knew the impact of MNL48 especially in Asiafest performances and its a lost not having a PH sister grp.

Feeling ko talaga may new 48g here sa Philippines. Change name lang sana eh, pero di nakuha rights sa MNL48 kaya instead disband na lang and create new group. At least ang utang mo kurosawa sayo lang. Sayo na MNL48 mo HHE.

[Austria_48 @angeloaustria94]

If Pos Inc wins legal battle rights vs Paulo kurosawa, retain #MNL48 no disbandment. If not, proceed formation of new group. Enjoy na ni Kuro-P ang MNL48 rights. D na suportado ni SB si Paulo d na associated mag independent nlng siya kainin mo nlng iyan MNL48 mo.

"Ms A had requested meticulously" now tell me again if she doesn't care about the group and the girls.

Gawd, I didn't know I would be involved again with MNL48 fandom stuff..

[Kami'y MNL48 @Timog48]

That's why nawala pfc sa lahat ng platform kasi para POS cant use the music because they know may 2026 ver. If ever gagamitin ni POS they can file a lawsuit. Kaya pala new instrumentals. HHE I will never forgive you.

[Mirai 和中みらい @mirai_wanaka]

Thank you so much for all the warm messages since the disbandment announcement.

I’m carefully reading and cherishing every single message from each of you!

No matter what happened, I love all the MNLoves who continued supporting the group and supporting me! 💙

I'VE COMPILED ALL THE TRUTHS ABOUT #MNL48 SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO:

1. HHE staff members were later transferred into MNL48 Inc., which was eventually renamed POS Inc. due to trademark issues.

2. Everything was going great for MNL48 because of the efforts of GM Abby, Andi, and Dana. However, after Sulong Con, MNL48 suddenly stopped posting. It seems that Kurosawa started a legal battle against the new management, which forced them to rename MNL48 Inc. to POS Inc. and even attempt to change the MNL48 branding itself. Little did they know that Kuro P still had access to Spotify and Apple Music, which caused the songs and releases to disappear. That was when they realized that Kuro P could still copyright and control everything while the legal battle was ongoing, which eventually led them to give up.

3. It seems that GM Abby's didn't chose to renew her contract earlier this May, which was also the same date she was announced as the GM of MNL48, or she resigned due to the inactivity and the constant criticism calling her a useless manager. However, the real reason appears to be the ongoing legal battle, which prohibited the use of MNL48 social media accounts. That is why we barely heard anything from MNL48 for such a long time until the release of the PFC 2026 MV, which seemed to be Abby's last appeal to management. She might have even spoke to Kuro P, in exchange for Abby leaving the group, before the PFC MV was suddenly published.

4. Former MNL48 members Riri and Maj shared screenshots of conversations with Miyaka's older sister, Elijah Mazza. However, those screenshots were later used against Abby, with accusations being directed at her because she was part of management and also a former member. It is unfair to claim that Abby tolerated everything when we didn'tknow what really happened she was obviously pointing finger to Abby but in the screenshots involving Abby on an event, where Abby asked Maj to go home by booking her a Grab ride at Abby's own expense because she was worried that Maj would be left alone in the hotel room without food and without any adult supervision. Ethan, who was the road manager of the group, was also not allowed to stay in the same room because they were of different genders.

5. Livestreaming was not part of the members' original contracts. However, Livebuzz later insisted on introducing livestreaming, which resulted in the members being given new contracts related to livestream activities. The members were reportedly required to complete hourly quotas before receiving their salary. Hazel, a former HHE employee, was the one handling this system. Based on the screenshots, Hazel was reminding Riri that she needed to complete her required livestream hours. Riri's required hours appeared to be longer than most members because Abby insisted on doubling her salary due to Riri being far from her family. Unfortunately, management also increased the number of hours Riri had to render, which eventually caused her exhaustion and burnout. Based on the situation, Abby did not directly manage the livestreaming side because it was under Livebuzz and not MNL48 itself, meaning Abby had little to no control over it since the instructions came from the Japan management.

6. The new management eventually left Abby to face the backlash and anger of the fans. Mirai even had to stay at Abby's apartment for some time. Abby also used her own van for transportation, her studio for livestreaming at certain points, and even her own apartments whenever members needed a place to stay late.

7. At this point, all copyrights now appear to be handled again by HHE or Kuro P, as seen on Spotify and Apple Music. It seems that he ultimately won the legal battle. Maybe there are plans to bring back MNL48 in the future, or maybe he will simply continue collecting the royalties. That is the whole story.

I believe that MNL48 will return someday, not with that name. That name had it's run. QZC48 or MLA48 sounds like decent ones.

[chris @sventxt_]

well, some part of me will feel empty because MNL48 has been a part of me for 8 years. on the other hand, i’m wishing for another local 48g to be born in the future. MLA? whatever. no one can surpass the filipino patronage as long as you know how to play your cards right.
