The label continued, “We know this news is saddening and is going to be as hard for all of you as it is for us, but we would like to thank you for your continuous love and support to the group.”
A separate announcement made by ALAMAT’s creative director Jason Paul Laxamana also said that the group would continue as a 7-member boy group with Taneo, Mo, Tomas, R-ji, Alas, Gami and Jao.
“If it’s any consolation, it’s an amicable separation. The boys have held their own send-off dinner for Valfer last weekend,” he added.
We will let Valfer keep his IG and TikTok accounts so you can support him in his new chapter 🤎 Meanwhile, Alamat will now continue as 7 members https://t.co/WqIh0zuR0i
