Kapamilya actress Barbie Imperial posted a similar statement on her Instagram stories, this time more extended to mention that the ball could be done "at a more opportune time."
"We may not be able to get together soon, but please accept our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support for ABS-CBN," said the statement that Barbie reposted, to which she added herself "So, so sad."
ABS-CBN had initially announced last week that the event, previously called the Star Magic Ball, would be returning on October 2.
The last ball was held on Sept. 14, 2019 at Shangri-La The Fort in Bonifacio Global City.
