MANILA – Gary Valenciano is the latest local celebrity to cancel upcoming international shows due to the global threat posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Through a Facebook post, Valenciano announced that “nothing brings me greater joy than to see my music serve and meet people at the point of their need.”

However, with the widespread of the COVID-19, Valenciano acknowledged that “the most important need at this time is everyone’s health, safety and security.”

Referring to his upcoming shows in Canada, the USA and Australia, Valenciano said: “We are constrained to cancel the events on these dates and reschedule the shows to a safe time when the crisis has passed.”

Valenciano is supposed to perform in Toronto on May 16, in Calgary on May 23, in Pechanga on May 31 and in Cache Creek on June 13.

“I care deeply about the safety of my audiences and it is because of this major global threat that all foreign and local shows have been postponed indefinitely,” he added.

Valenciano said he is looking forward to stepping on stage again when no one has to worry about coming together for a great and memorable night of music.

“I love you. Believe, keep the faith, keep safe, and take care. May the Almighty God bless and protect us all,” he said.

As of Saturday night, the Philippines already has 111 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

President Rodrigo Duterte has already put Metro Manila under a "community quarantine," which means that travel to and from the region will be restricted, among other measures to contain the virus.
