Hello everyone. Due to the current situation regarding CoViD19, we have decided to postpone the concert PURE ENERGY 2020 to a later date this year. Thank you to all who have expressed support for this concert. Your immediate response was most encouraging. Our team received so many requests to purchase tickets and offers to sponsor the show, but the health and wellbeing of all our fans, our guests, our artists, musicians, dancers, and the production crew are my main priority. It pains us to make this difficult decision, but new learnings about this new virus call for us to be vigilant and sensitive, careful and prayerful. Once our new concert dates are set I will make sure to get the word out to everyone. I look forward to seeing all of you when we all finally come together for PURE ENERGY…One More Time 2020. Meantime, to my fans abroad in Canada and the USA, I will proceed with my concert tour dates in your cities as previously announced. God bless, protect, and keep us all safe.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 6) – Several meet-and-greet of international celebrities in the country will not push through due to the threat of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).

Here is the running list of the canceled events due to safety reasons as of Thursday morning:

In a statement, event organizer National Bookstore said Albom was “deeply saddened by the news. It also quoted the writer as saying “I plan to honor my promise to visit the Philippines as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, Netflix, in a Facebook post, shared the message of the lead stars of the To All The Boys sequel, Lana Condor and Noah Centineo, saying they were “disappointed” their trip to the Philippines was suspended and that they hope to visit the country “soon.”

The pair was supposed to promote their Netflix movie which is set to be released on February 12.

On the other hand, the event of the South Korean variety show ‘Running Man’ and concerts of 98 Degrees and Gary Valenciano were also postponed to a later date.

The Running Man event was originally scheduled on February 9, but was moved to June 21 while the series of shows of 98 Degrees was rescheduled in May.

Runners! Please carefully read this special announcement from our friends in Running Man.
