“And of course, we want them to be successful not just here in the Philippines through their hit songs, syempre gusto rin namin na maka-penetrate sila globally,” he added.
Aside from Rox, also present during the “StarPop Ink Drop” event were ABS-CBN Music and Integrated Events head Roxy Liquigan, ABS-CBN Music creatives, content, and operations head Jonathan Manalo, head of ABS-CBN’s music management group Abbey Aledo, and head of Polaris Reily Santiago.
