The show has addressed the matter during its past episode.
On Thursday, March 27, ABS-CBN’s popular noontime program ‘It’s Showtime’ made an important on-air announcement in response to the posts made by ‘Tawag Ng Tanghalan All-Star Grand Resbak 2025’ contestant Marco Adobas.
“Ang mga kalahok sa Tawag Ng Tanghalan ay may pinirmahang kasunduan o waiver bago pa magsimula ang kumpetisyon,” host Jhong Hilario read.
Vhong Navarro continued:,”At sa hindi pong inaasahang pangyayari, si Marco Adobas ng Pangkat Alon ay may mga nilabag na alituntunin na nakasaad sa kanyang pinirmahang kasunduan —dahilan para siya’y ma-disqualify at hindi na magpatuloy sa kumpetisyon.“
He also added that the accusations made by Adobas in his Facebook post might also possibly lead to legal charges being pressed against him.
In a prior post, the ex-‘TNT’ contender called the contest as a “cooking show,” as he lamented the loss of his teammate Ayegee Paredes in a past edition of the contest.
“Kaya everyone, be very careful. Maaari tayong magbigay ng ating mga opinyon, pero siguraduhin na ang ating mga opinyon ay hindi makakapagpahamak ng ibang mga tao o anumang mga grupo, at lalong hindi magpapahamak sa mga sarili ninyo,” reminded Vice Ganda.
The program also shared that following Adobas’ disqualification, they have decided to add one new member to his group in the competition, Pangkat Alon.
Chosen to replace him was a member of the abolished team, Pangkat Amihan, which bade farewell last Saturday after ranking last amongst the four original groups.
Joining Alon and making her ‘Tawag Ng Tanghalan’ comeback for another chance to compete in this special season is Arvery Lagoring.
In response, Adobas said in his Facebook page, “Sa mga wala pong alam sa nangyari, may pag-uusap na po sa pagitan ng management ng Showtime at ako po ay humihingi ng kapatawaran sa aking nagawa at okay na po ang lahat. Ako po ay nadala ng bugso ng aking emosyon, kaya sana po ay maunawaan niyo na.“
He continued, “[Hindi] po ako kakasuhan, pero bilang pataw (na parusa) po sa aking pagkakamali ay dinisqualified ako.“
‘TNT All-Star Grand Resbak 2025’ is the fourth special spin-off of the long-running singing competition, with the other three being ‘All-Star Grand Resbak’ and ‘Celebrity Champions’ in 2019 and ‘Duets’ in 2023.
