📢 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Temporary Dissolution of Rise Above Pilipinas - Manila Chapter
To all our partners, artists, collaborators, and supporters:
Due to unresolved internal issues between members of Rise Above Pilipinas – Manila, we are officially announcing the temporary dissolution of the Manila Chapter, effective immediately and until further notice.
This action is taken to protect the values, integrity, and reputation of Rise Above Pilipinas as an organization dedicated to empowering local artists and communities.
During this time:
No individual or group is authorized to represent Rise Above Pilipinas – Manila in any capacity.
Use of the Rise Above Pilipinas name, logo, or branding for any activities, events, promotions, or online posts related to Manila is strictly prohibited unless issued directly by the national office.
The founder’s name and the official Rise Above Pilipinas identity must not be dragged into personal disputes, social media dramas, or internal misunderstandings. Any continued misuse will result in legal action.
We urge all involved to uphold professionalism and respect the shared mission we all worked hard to build. Let us not allow personal issues to tarnish the collective efforts of many who believe in this movement.
We thank everyone who continues to stand with Rise Above Pilipinas, and we assure you that once proper restructuring is in place, we will return to Manila stronger and more unified.
For any questions or concerns, please contact our official page or message the Bicol core team directly.
- Roger Palacio II
