On January 17, James Reid and Eventscape Productions Manila releasedapologizing to the bands cut from the lineup as well as to their fans. In a video, Reid said, “I would like to sincreley apologize to our Cebu artists, [the] Wonggoys, Three Legged Men, The Sundown, and Sepia Times for not being able to share the stage with you this time. But thank you for allowing us to come to your hometown and throw this amazing experience. I promise we’ll make it up to you.
The Eventscape Productions statement shared a similar sentiment, emphasizing that some Manila and international artists were also not able to perform, “not just Cebu bands.” They continued by saying that “it was never [their] intention to insult the international, Cebu, and Manila artists who have graciously accepted our invitation.”
While the apology is welcome, this issue has shed light on the divide between the Manila-centric mainstream and the music scenes of Visayas and Mindanao. Last October, the Vispop Music Festival issued a strongly worded statement appealing for the support of Cebuanos for its annual Sinulog festival. Cebuano songwriter and co-founder of Vispop Jude Gitamondoc wrote, “…Right now, Manila organizers are gearing up their machinery to stage multiple music festivals during Sinulog Week […][As early as now], we’re beseeching our fans and supporters to stand by, with, and for Vispop Music Festival.

Rappler who bemoans disinformation is ironically disinforming with this malicious write up! BOTH international artists & local artists were affected as SOME international & local artists were not able to perform due to the rains and refusal to allow the concert hours to extend!
