The comedian did not mention the artist involved or identify the specific concert in his social media post. However, his remarks came days after Moira Dela Torre’s concert was announced as postponed, amid reactions from some of the singer’s critics who appeared to celebrate the development.
Rather than focusing on the artist, Alex directed attention toward the many people behind a concert production whose livelihoods can also be affected when a show is postponed.
“Ganito na ba ka-toxic ang paligid na ang pagka-postpone ng isang concert ay kinatutuwa ng karamihan?” Alex wrote.

The comedian questioned whether people had considered the impact that postponing a concert could have on workers who are not the celebrity being criticized online.
“Hindi niyo ba alam na hindi lang naman ang artist ang apektado,” he said.
Alex specifically mentioned staff members, writers, crew members, and other workers involved in putting together shows and concerts.
“May mga simpleng tao ang nagtratrabaho sa mga shows at concerts na ito. Mga staff, writer, crew at marami pang iba,” he wrote.
He went on to point out that these workers may be more directly affected financially when a show does not proceed as scheduled.
“Sila pa nga ang mas apektado sa kabuhayan kesa sa artist na kinaiinisan niyo,” Alex added.
His message shifted the conversation away from the popularity or public perception of any particular performer and toward the people working behind the scenes.
Concert productions typically involve numerous individuals whose jobs are connected to the preparation and staging of an event. Alex’s point was that celebrating the cancellation or postponement of a show can overlook the consequences for those workers, particularly when their income depends on such events taking place.
He concluded his post with a simple appeal.
“Be kind,” he wrote.
Alex then added a prayer for the country.
“Praying para sa bansa natin 🙏”
The comedian did not explicitly say that he was referring to Moira Dela Torre’s postponed concert, nor did he name any performer in his post. The timing, however, came shortly after the announcement concerning Moira, whose postponement had prompted various reactions online.
Alex’s comments therefore focused less on the circumstances surrounding any particular postponement and more on the broader way people respond to entertainment news on social media.
Alex Calleja is a prominent Filipino stand-up comedian, actor, and radio personality who has played a role in the growth of stand-up comedy in the Philippines. He became associated with Comedy Manila and gained international attention as a finalist in Laugh Factory’s “Funniest Person in the World” competition. Beyond performing stand-up, Alex has worked as a television writer, director, and host, and he also leads The Alex Calleja Show, a popular podcast where he discusses various topics through his distinctive comedic style.
As previously reported by KAMI, Alex Calleja generated an online discussion after asking whether mentioning “God” in jokes that are not intended to be offensive could still be considered wrong. He openly wondered whether God could “get offended,” while observing that feeling “irritated” is generally understood as a human emotion. His post prompted different reactions from netizens, including some who cited Bible passages and others who defended humor based on context. Alex later expressed appreciation to those who responded respectfully, saying their explanations helped him understand the issue better, while also criticizing comments he considered disrespectful.
Last year, Alex Calleja attracted attention with a humorous Facebook post about the breakup involving Gerald Anderson and Julia Barretto. His joke quickly gained traction online and received thousands of reactions and shares. Separately, the Senate and House of Representatives have continued their investigations into alleged irregularities involving flood control projects.
