On December 13, Net25 Star Center Artist Management head Eric Quizon voiced his opinion on love teams.Â
At the media event for ‘Road to StarKada,’ which LionhearTV covered, Quizon acknowledged the success of the Love Team formula for the Filipino audience.
“Well, alam naman natin na proven ‘yan no. Ang Love Team formula sa Pilipinas ay malakas talaga ‘yan. At masasabi talaga natin sa mga naging superstars ngayon or malalaking artista ay nanggaling sa mga Love Team. Siyempre sad lang ‘yun talaga na kapag ginawa mo silang Love Team ay maghihiwalay, sad lang ‘yun talaga, but that again is reality.”
As for the StarKadas, he noted that they would eventually introduce love teams but wanted to focus on the solo careers of the young artists first.
“Dito sa Star Center, yes we will do that, pero ngayon hindi pa namin– at this point, gusto lang namin na they become individuals muna. To be known, individually, kaysa sa pair or tandem. But eventually, pagkanagkaroon sila ng shows, siyempre hahanapin ng mga tao ‘yan eh. Hahanapin ng ating mga televiewers, ng mga fandom ‘yan.Â
“So eventually, magcre-create din tayo ng mga Love Teams at the right time, at titignan din natin talaga kung bagay ba sila talaga.”
