Original Pilipino Music (OPM) band Kamikazee was kicked out of the Kasanggayahan Festival in Casiguran, Sorsogon for an alleged bad attitude.
In a video circulating on social media, Sorsogon Governor Edwin Hamor can be seen apologizing to his constituents when he announced that Kamikazee will not perform.
“Sana na naintindihan niyo. Hindi ko gusto to. Kaso sinabi ko nga, may attitude. Hindi na 'yan makakabalik sa Sorsogon, maniwala kayo sa akin."
“Maraming banda, maraming banda na gustong magpasaya sa atin. Pero kung ganu’n naman 'yung ugali, pasensiyahan tayo. Okay?"
“Inuulit ko, bayad 'yun. Kasi bago mag-perform sila dapat bayad. Pero pinauwi ko na, hindi ko na patitirahin 'yun sa Residencia. Pinauwi ko na sa airport, du’n sila mag-umaga. Okay?"
“Inuulit ko, hindi tayo puwedeng bastusin, ang mga taga-Sorsogon. Pinipilit ko na itaas ang dignidad ng bawat Sorsoganon, pero huwag ganu’n. Huwag ganu’n na tayo’y bastusin. Okay?"
“Si Vice Ganda, pasasayahin kayo. At dadalhin ko rito si Sarah Geronimo. Okay?” Hamor said.
According to a report by "24 Oras", Hamor became angry when Kamikazee refused to take a photo at their tourist attraction Thousand Light Roses. Other bands Imago and I Belong To The Zoo were obliged to take pictures at the attraction.
