On January 31, President of Blvck Entertainment Grace Cristobal detailed how their company solved Rekta Sa Kalye’s crisis in mounting their music festival.
At the media event for the Blvck Summer Festival, which LionhearTV covered, Cristobal cited how Blvck Entertainment planned to shoulder the finances of Rekta Sa Kalye’s postponed music festival, including processing refunds.
“Actually, kaya nga po nabanggit ko kanina na lahat po by processing po, ito po ay manggagaling na po mula sa Blvck Entertainment. So ‘yung problema po na ‘yun talaga, is problema pa rin po ngayon.
“‘Yung sinasabi ninyo po kanina na hindi na ninyo po na-name drop ‘yung supposedly na producer po nila, ‘yun po talaga ‘yung naging malaking problema nila at malaking dagok talaga na dumating sa point na hindi na po nila alam ‘yung gagawin nila.”
She disclosed how the postponed music festival in November 2023 affected the mental health of its organizers.
“I’m sorry to say po, may pag-iisip na po sa kanila, kasi, ito po ‘yung pinaka sobrang hirap pong tanggapin na mayroon na pong kaisipan na may gusto ng magpakamatay dahil hindi na po nila alam kung saan na po nila huhugutin ‘yung solusyon para sa malaking problema na ‘yun.”
She added the challenges Rekta sa Kalye faced during their ordeal enabled them to decide and help with the music festival.
“So that’s why po, sobrang bilis din po ‘yung mga pangyayari na ito na, tinanggap na po namin, kasi ito po ‘yung point ng time na nandito po ‘yung opportunity, and then maganda rin po ‘yung kanilang vision, why not din po na we’re giving them the chance na ito po ma-pursue po nila ‘yung pangarap din po nila.”
