More stories were being disclosed about the controversial event attended by Francine Diaz and Orange and Lemons.
On April 30, 2024, the event held in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, became controversial after Francine appeared on stage even if Orange and Lemons were already set to perform during that time.
Francine’s sudden appearance prompted the OPM band to leave the stage.
A netizen shared a video taken at the backstage before the controversial event.
It can be seen that Francine was already preparing to exit the stage when Orange and Lemons passed over her, as they were supposed to perform first before the actress.
Netizens noticed Francine’s reaction, speculating that she was not already in a good mood that day.
There were reports that Francine’s camp really wanted the actress to perform earlier than the intended schedule, which resulted in her snatching away the time of Orage and Lemons.
Francine’s mother also said that she didn’t want her daughter to perform at 2 A.M., so they asked the organizers to change the schedule suddenly.
““Yung kasama niyo po na mapula ang buhok ang nakakagulo sa banda niyo. At sana sa nag organize ng event, April 30 ang event [at] hindi May 1, gusto niyo mag perform anak ko ng 2am tama po ba ‘yan? Hindi pwede basta nalang ako manahimik,” said Mrs. Diaz.
According to event staff, the incident may not have happened if Francine’s camp had just arrived earlier to inform the organizers.
The staff said that Francine didn’t receive permission from the organizers to perform earlier.
“Since they come late, walang proper staff or organizer ang nasabihan an gusto an mauna ni FD. Some woman just began screaming backstage, calling the hosts, para palabasin si FD,” the staff wrote.
