Pero on the day of the finals pinadala yung mga artwork, and on that day din namin nalaman through his asst na need magbayad ng 75,000 pesos. Magulo na lahat backstage and wala naman may hawak ng cash,\u201d Borg explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNakakalungkot lang na nagpopost na agad sya na magkausap naman sila ng staff. Hindi sya nakasama sa May 30 cut off kasi walang papers.  Kaya sa June 15 cut off sya nakasama kasi magkausap sila ng staff,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Borg expressed his dismay over the artist&#8217;s decision to bring the matter to social media before addressing it backstage. He reiterated that in the production, they need transparent documentation for management purposes.
