Former Moonstar88 vocalist Acel Bisa recently announced that she’ll be starting a new life with her family in the Netherlands next year.
The OPM singer announced on her social media pages that she will be holding a farewell show as a way of paying homage to her journey.
“It is bittersweet as I announce that I’ll be starting a new life with my family in the Netherlands early next year. I don’t intend this as a farewell, but rather as a fitting homage to the family, friends, and colleagues who have contributed to my journey over the years,” she wrote in her caption.
Bisa underscored that honoring her time as an artist in the Philippines would give way for her to make space for the new life that awaits her abroad.
“The baggage that comes with leaving reminds us of places, people, and memories that truly matter, even in the grand scheme of things. As I make space for new beginnings and experiences, part of my heart will surely long for the feeling of being completely home. This country has defined who I’ve become as a person and an artist,” she expressed.
