The Eraserheads Reunion is Pushing Through

YES its all confusing and i couldn’t help but agree with this blog http://jive.ph/Urbandido/blog/
To those who post without basis or confirmation please refrain. To the people behind the concert specifically Leo Burnett people, please think twice before spreading infos. We all know that publicity good or bad sells your client but you are not supposed to spill chaotic confusion.
Why am i single handedly indicating the ad agency?
1)One Nation, One Brand, One Night Only is your tag for the concert right? You already spilled it out before Marlboro even posted it on their website. Didn’t you guys think the DOH would find this arrogant – One Brand, One Nation? So now what? The organizer can’t get a permit? Ang galing niyo.
2) The reversed E as the show’s logo is your creation. You already leaked this pic in several blogs.
3) That shallow blogger Conde had inside information including the bands’ talent fees that only you knew about.
4) Before any official statement, you already told people that Marlboro has given up and show is canceled. I personally witnessed this when one bald stage actor/model confidently announced in a bar that the show is canceled, when asked how he knew, he proudly stated “oh friends from Leo Burnett”
Now the concert is really pushing through… No thanks to this ad agency who gets paid for messing with the fans’ expectations, for over excitedly pouring through the internet the concert details.
Hilo’s comment here is right: “BAKIT HINDI NA LANG MAGLABAS NG ISANG OFFICIAL STATEMENT! Ticket details etc. Kung hindi pa plantsado eh di tumahimik na lang muna. Nahihilo na kami.”

To Marben, Loraine Pineda and Germaine. Thanks a lot for your comments.

To Phil Robles, the vigilance against further “leaked” information is all over the Philippine blogland.

To Leo Burnett, choose your employees wisely. Nobody will believe you anymore.

Hello Gabriel

You’re still awake man
For what its worth (and i know i can get dissed for this), we can thank Marlboro for spearheading the reunion. They got alot of flak and yes, beatings for all their effort. Still and all, it cannot be denied that the stir they created for organizing the reunion proved how much the populace loves the Eraserheads.

To Arnie, cool ka lang bro.

Denisa…Yes. Some dude named Miguel. Tactless talaga.

Oh and Gabriel, Leo Burnett is the name of a company. Not one person. Its immature employees are the ones who created the havoc of misinformation and event leakage from the start.

See you on the 30th

To Sallievie: I coulnd’t help but smile and giggle with your statement- “….Tuloy nga daw ang concert according to my very credible source (na hindi taga-agency mind you!)…”
LOL! Everyone’s mindful now where they get their sources. This leakage fiasco from HLB proved that they hadn’t been credible from the start.

To Phil Robles: Applause to your post – “After the 30th, i wonder if this agency will ever get clients anymore for mishandling this. Wala silang idea how big this is. Kung meron man, wala silang maturity to wait things out before spreading half truths and rumors.” How very true.

I am now without guilt in my anger towards the mismanagement of Leo Burnett since I drove to the fort tonight. For me no other source whether the show is pushing through or not (and it is) is more credible than my own eyes.
There it is, steel structures where the stage will be. People building fences. Trucks coming in and out to deliver materials. I couldn’t get nearer since the place is off limits to outsiders. But i got a chance to talk to someone building the fences. And this where my anger is justified;

“manong, gaano katagal niyo mabubuo ang harang sa field?” i asked.
“naku matagal pa” he said. “Aabot ba kayo?” i was concerned (the poor fellow seemed really tired)
“eh kasi nag back out yung mga ibang dapat magtratrabaho dito dahil kumalat ang tsismis na wala na eh. nagkagulo lahat ng mga magseset-up sana dito”
“Tuloy naman di ba?” i insisted. “Tuloy nga, di ko lang alam kung bakit lumabas pa yung balibalita na yun kaya eto kaming nahiirapan at kulang ang tao”

My wife could only heave a sigh and said, “these HLB assholes didn’t even think about the people working behind the scenes”
I agreed with her. Its not just the public and the fans that were thrown in disarray. It’s the people working for the concert itself. And that is the ultimate reckless attitude all of you who commented here have pointed out.

To quote Sallievie; “To HLB people who couldn’t keep their mouth shut. Lagot kayo, I’m sure if you guys will be proven guilty you should be penalized! Are you still confident the trust and confidence of your clients are still there?”

Pare gising ka pa din at gising ka nanaman LOL!
I don’t have an idea about the price bro. Mejo tight ang security sa fort eh. I had to park near fitness first and not near the area where the concert will be. Wala din makasagot dun sa area. Konti lang nagtratrabaho kanina. Mukha ngang kulang ng tao.
Sana nga lumabas na ang official statement. At sana hindi ganun kamahal. To some okay lang siguro ang 1500 na nabanggit dito. To others like me, i hafta pay for my wife and grown kids kaya mahal.

Yes, there it is. I also got a text message. An official statement everyone’s waiting for. Okay na ko sa 800. Now lets all wish for clear weather on the 30th, a smooth show, a tight band everyone loves and a good night of rock history playing before us

Eppie: HLB is Hemisphere Leo Burnett. No they are not concert promoters but Marlboro’s advertising agency. Good question if they are still part of the concert.
They do commercials and should just stick to commercials than do concert events. They don’t handle gate entrances. Obviously from what we have seen, they don’t even know how to organize concerts. As far as i know, hanggang image lang sila ng produkto ng clients nila ang inaayos nila. Well they gave their client Marboro a bad image. They are simply the ad agency of Marlboro but acted as if they own the reunion with their reckless info spillage.
Scroll up and read.

So see you at the fort and I hope that this eases your concern in entering the concert on the 30th.

Got my tickets! See you all there later! Can’t wait for my kids to see the nation’s biggest band ever! Live!
