“We’re Not Meant to Work Together Again”: Paolo Valenciano’s Shocking Message to Rico Blanco
PAOLO VALENCIANO – TV and concert director Paolo Valenciano has finally addressed the chaotic delay at the JBL Sound Fest—and his unexpected parting message for Rico Blanco is now sending shockwaves across social media.
Paolo Valenciano has spoken out following the major delay that disrupted the JBL Sound Fest held in Pasig on Saturday, December 6. The event, which featured several performers and drew a large crowd, faced unexpected setbacks that caused significant schedule changes and affected both artists and attendees.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, December 7, Paolo addressed the issue publicly and apologized to everyone impacted by the incident. “I sincerely apologize to our client JBL and to my brothers from Cup of Joe (who had to be picked up by motorcycles in traffic jams just to make their new call time),” Paolo wrote, acknowledging the inconvenience the delay caused not only to the audience but also to the performers who had to adjust urgently.
Paolo revealed that this was his first year working with JBL Sound Fest, making the experience particularly challenging for him. He admitted his frustrations and emphasized his commitment to learning from the situation. “This was my first year with JBL Sound Fest so I found this incredibly frustrating. We learn new things every day and I know I still have a lot to improve!! To everyone who was there, super sorry,” he added, expressing both humility and a desire to grow as a director.
However, the biggest shock came at the end of his post, where Paolo mentioned singer-songwriter Rico Blanco. His closing message hinted at deeper professional tension between them. “And to Rico, my hero, while I sincerely wish you the best, I’ve learned that we’re simply not meant to work together again,” Paolo wrote, leaving fans speculating about what transpired behind the scenes.
As of this writing, Rico Blanco has not issued any statement regarding Paolo’s post or the circumstances surrounding the delay. Supporters of both artists are awaiting further updates, hoping the situation may eventually be clarified.
Despite the controversy, Paolo’s candid acknowledgment of the mishap and his openness about personal and professional realizations have sparked conversations about accountability, communication, and collaboration within the entertainment industry.
