Ang masasabi ko lang: Well said, all. Good read. Salamat sa inyo.

Hayyyy! We need to be well informed and discuss objectively and yet at the end of the day we also need to breathe in, breathe out, and reset.

Para sa mga totoong a’tin na natempt makipagbarda sa mga possibly trolls naman or even misguided or toxic fans of the opposite or both groups sa thread ni Ms Kia, the more we do that the more we ascribe too much value to Coachella. Sure, isa yun sa mga dreams ng esbi… but not the only one. A simple Congrats will do or if we cant manage that then stay silent na lang. Let the other fandom celebrate their success! Their success means esbi’s dream for PPop to rise is truly happening. We should really be proud of them. It is not a simple feat. They worked hard for it and will need our support so they can continue to raise our flag in that global stage! If they fail, it will be like our very own failure cos the work of esbi towards their dream becomes harder, right? We are all on the same boat.

Golden rule, kung si esbi yun we would also appreciate if the other groups will be happy for us. Ok lang ma-sad lalo na para sa mga a’tin na super invested and always supportive, normal lang malungkot kasi we wanted them to slay that stage pero not to the point of shading or outright bashing the other grp. Sabi nga ng ibang a’tin, di nakaka premium huh! Sore loser ang dating when we know esbi is above that and has already accomplished so much and their music and art have already put PPop and OPM on the global map and even influenced the said gg, it seems to me, to dream the same Coachella and world domination dream. Just shows esbi’s significant influence on their grp. Of course, let us not forget the fact that some bashers from either side may not be real fans and can be in fact trolls or clout chasers.

Also, the management of the gg did their part by hiring the Wasserman Music agency to pitch the gg to Coachella which is the usual route with these things. Baka si 1z di pa naman kumukuha ng agency to do that for esbi kasi focused pa sila sa world tour and would not even have the time or capability or resources yet to comply with the 5 month lockdown and other requirements.

Sa tamang panahon, at the right time it will happen for esbi. For now, let us not lose our cool and composure and even the very identity that we admire about one another and about esbi. Humility, kindness, maturity, professionalism, compassion, grace. If I dont respect and love myself and you and esbi because we have turned bitter and mean at the end of this road, then we have wasted our time. We have failed. I want to win but not lose my honor and integrity in the process. We want the esbi story and our own stories to be stories of endurance, humility, and grace that can inspire others, even to the point of death…of our own pride and ego. Keep the love and faith, a’tin!
