Nakakalungkot isipin na may mga performer katulad ni Jovit Baldovino (sic) na hindi marunong rumespeto sa mas nakakatandang musiko. Hindi man ganun kasikat, kung ang nagsulat at orihinal na nag record ng awitin ay kasama mo sa isang show, hindi mo dapat unahang kantahin ang awitin nya. Kahit pinakiusapan na hindi pa rin sya pumayag na huwag kantahin.</i> It just goes to show, it is very hard to teach humility, respect and class.”</div><div><br/></div><div>Jovit, who sang Alon’s<i> “Pusong Bato”</i> during the show in Gen San, said that he was surprised when an issue like this came out on social media.</div><div><br/></div><div>When asked if somebody really came up to him during the show to ask him to change songs, Jovit confirmed that there was a man who approached him and asked if he could not sing<i> “Pusong Bato”</i> just two minutes before performing onstage. He later said that his CD/material was already in the tech booth.</div><div><br/></div><div>Not understanding why he could not sing the song, he shared that he was also able to talk to the original <i>“Pusong Bato”</i> singer. He had not been informed that Alon, the original singer of<i> “Pusong Bato,”</i> was supposed to sing the same song after his performance.</div><div><br/></div><div><i>“Then bago pa po ako sumalang, nag-meet up pa po kami ni Sir Alon. Siya po nagtanong kung ilan po ‘yung songs ko. Nung sinabi ko po kung ilang songs, tinanong niya din po ako kung kakantahin ko ‘yung ‘Pusong Bato,’ ang sabi niya po, ‘ah, sige,’” </i>Jovit narrated and added that it was a duet song with Manny Pacquiao’s brother, Bobby Pacquiao.</div><div><br/></div><div>Giving a message to Wency, he said, <i>“Kay Sir Wency, napakalaki po ng respeto ko sa lahat po ng mga OPM singers lalong lalo na po sa legendary singers. Isa po sila sa dahilan kung bakit po ako nandito ngayon. Sobrang laki po ng naitulong nila.” </i></div><div><br/></div><div>Meanwhile, he thanked Alon whom he said he was able to talk to about the issue already, <i>“Kay Sir Alon po, sobrang nagpapasalamat po ako sa kanya kasi nag-usap na po kami kanina… Okay na po kami, then sabi niya po nagulat din daw po siya sa nangyari. Hindi niya rin daw po alam na kumalat na so wala din daw po siyang alam na biglang lumabas ‘yung ganon.”</i></div><div><br/></div><div>Moreover, he also acknowledged and apologized for his mistake in this incident,<i> “Pasensya na kung hindi ko po kayo na-acknowledge na kayo po ‘yung original songwriter ng Pusong Bato sa sobrang excited ko po kasi hinihintay na po ako nilang kantahin ‘yung Pusong Bato na kasama si Sir Bobby Pacquiao na nagrequest sa’kin ng Pusong Bato.”</i></div>

Jovit Baldivino also apologizes to original ‘Pusong Bato’ singer Alon.
