“Magulo na lahat backstage and wala naman may hawak ng cash. So sinabi namin na kailangan proper documentation like billing etc.,” Borg said. “Kausap din nila ang staff namin even until yesterday June 12 na inaayos lang for billing kasi ang daming suppliers sa production from artists to technicals etc."Borg said that all suppliers were able to submit their billing statements and invoices prior to the May 22 coronation night. They were then paid because the paperwork has been completed.
