Cacai Velasquez cried foul over fake accounts on social media claiming that the virtual concert of Regine Velasquez got rescheduled because it failed to generate enough ticket sales.
Cacai is a Filipina singer and the younger sister of Regine. Her husband, Raul Mitra, is the musical director of the said Freedom Digital Concert.
The Freedom: Regine Velasquez-Alcasid Digital Concert was supposed to stream on February 14, but ABS-CBN Events and IME announced its reschedule date to February 28 (Sunday) due to an undisclosed reason.
According to some fake accounts of IME Productions and Cacai–the rescheduling of the said concert is due to its ‘poor’ ticket sales.
Cacai posted screenshots of the said fake accounts with posts on twitter and noted that people should not think ill of the rescheduling and should rather wish that the concert will go well.
Some Netizens mentioned Sarah Geronimo‘s name in line with her upcoming Tala: The Film virtual concert this March and Cacai said that the re-scheduling of Regine’s concert has nothing to do with it and they do not wish to compete.

Isipin nyo na lang ang success ng parehong concert ay nakakapagbigay ng trabaho sa maraming tao and hopefully will lead to more digital concerts pa.. ang GOAL namin ay magbigay SAYA hindi po kami nakikipag contest.

“FAKE ACCOUNTS!!! [Bakit] ba kasi kailangan maging contest??? Isipin nyo na lang ang success ng parehong concert ay nakakapagbigay ng trabaho sa maraming tao and hopefully will lead to more digital concerts pa,” she wrote.
“Ang GOAL namin ay magbigay SAYA hindi po kami nakikipag contest. PEACE.”
Shortly after her post, Cacai requested the Netizens to give support to Regine’s Freedom Concert instead.

“[Please] sa mga supporters, help up promote #FREEDOM in a positive way. Kung NEGA (negative) lang [huwag] na lang [please],”
“[Let’s] all promote positivity, dami nang negative na nangyayari sa tin, [huwag] na dagdagan,” she requested.
The Freedom concert tickets are still available on KTX (ktx.ph). There will be exclusive access available on iWantTFC and TFC IPTV Pay-Per-View and will also be available on SKY Pay-Per-View.
The concert will be produced by ABS-CBN Events, IME, and PLDT and directed by Paolo Valenciano.
