The country’s largest network ABS-CBN announced on Saturday that the highly anticipated “Thanksgiving Concert” for the hit teleserye “Forevermore” has been cancelled due to environmental concerns. The announcement was posted by Star Magic’s Instagram account relaying to the fans and followers of the show that the show has been cancelled.
Top-rating Kapamilya series was scheduled to hold a thanksgiving concert this coming May 10, 2015 at Sitio Pungayan in Santo Tomas, Benguet which became a major tourist attraction after it was featured as “La Presa,” the place located near the summit of Mount Cabuyao in Tuba, Benguet.
The Kapamilya concert dubbed #MayForeer” was supposed to held at Sitio Pungayan also known as the fictional Sitio La Presa, a strawberry farm with garden terraces where lead characters Xander (Enrique Gil) and Agnes (Liza Soberano) fall in love.
Since the airing of the top-rating series, Forevermore, the once lowly village has become a tourist phenomenom of sorts transforming local business into lucrative income-earners.
Despite the achievement brought in by the top-rating series, a petition posted by a group called One Baguio cited that Sitio Pungayan is part of a critical watershed which is important source of potable water for residents and visitors of Baguio City ang neighboring areas.
There is no official statement yet, from ABS-CBN, whether the decision to postpone the concert was due to the petition filed at Change.org.
