Chan: Lapu-Lapu city gov’t ‘scammed’ over TJ Monterde, Yeng Constantino concert
The official statement of Cornerstone Entertainment denying the city’s claim that Constantino and Monterde had committed to perform at the fiesta event.
LAPU-LAPU CITY, Cebu — The Oponanon fans of TJ Monterde and Yeng Constantino can no longer expect their idols to perform at the upcoming Kaabag Fiesta Concert in Lapu-Lapu City on November 21, 2024.
This follows Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan’s announcement that the city government had been scammed by an individual who claimed to be connected to the management representing the singers.
In a post, Chan stated that the city had transacted with this individual and paid a down payment from their sponsor to secure the concert.
However, Cornerstone Entertainment denied the city’s claim that Constantino and Monterde had committed to perform at the event.
In a statement, Cornerstone also clarified that the person who dealt with the city was not connected to them.

“It has come to our attention that a certain Alpearl Tabiliran has fraudulently claimed to the local government of Lapu-Lapu City that he had the authority to represent our artists, Yeng Constantino and Tj Monterde, and to commit them to perform at the Kaabag Fiesta Concert in Lapu-Lapu City on November 21, 2024,” Cornerstone Entertainment said in a statement.
“We wish to clarify that Mr. Tabiliran is neither an agent nor affiliated with Cornerstone Entertainment Inc., or any of its artists. His actions were unauthorized, and he did not obtain the consent of the artists,” it added.
Constantino also posted on her official Facebook account, denying any scheduled gig in Lapu-Lapu.
“Yengters wala akong gig sa Lapu-Lapu Cebu ng November 21. I asked our management na and they said wala daw ganung schedule because pabalik palang kami nito galing Amerika. Hope this cleared things up,” Constantino said.
The mayor stated that they are trying to communicate with the individual, but he is no longer responding to their calls.
