Jose Mari Chan Sets the Record Straight on Album Royalties

Veteran singer-songwriter Jose Mari Chan has clarified that his recent remarks about no longer receiving "royalty checks" referred specifically to earnings from physical music formats such as CDs, cassettes, and vinyl records, not to all forms of music royalties.

The clarification comes after comments he made during the media conference for his upcoming concert, Afterglow: Seasons of the Heart, which will take place on July 11 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC). During the press conference, some of his remarks sparked discussions online, with several readers interpreting his statement to mean that he no longer receives royalties from his music altogether.

According to Universal Records Managing Director Kathleen Dy-Go, Jose Mari's remarks were meant to highlight the decline of physical album sales over the years as the industry shifted toward digital music consumption.

"We would like to clarify that Mr. Jose Mari Chan was referring specifically to royalties from CDs, cassettes, and vinyl records. As physical music formats have gradually declined over the years, so have the royalties associated with those sales. His statement should not be construed to mean that he no longer receives royalties from his music altogether," Dy-Go explained.

Join The Chase In Searchlight Pictures’ Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come, Streaming On Disney+ July 2

Back for an even bloodier game of cat and mouse, Searchlight Pictures’ Ready or Not 2: Here I Come streams July 2 on Disney+ Philippines.

“A Bloody Good Time” – Glenn Garner, Deadline

Ready or Not ended with an image that felt definitive and unsettling: Grace, bloodied but standing. Alive. Alone. And irreversibly changed by what she survived. For directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, that image wasn’t an endpoint — it was a dare: double or nothing. Eagerly embraced by both fans and critics, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come reached a piping Verified Hot 89% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes® and was chosen as a New York Times Critic’s Pick. As many have remarked, the sequel “gives the audience exactly what they’re looking for" (Lyvie Smith, Inverse).

This isn’t just a sequel. It’s higher stakes, more blood, more chaos, and more heart — everything amplified. What once appeared to be a single family’s ritual is revealed as part of a broader international system: multiple families, competing hierarchies, and shared beliefs bound together by power, entitlement, and consequence. Searchlight Pictures cordially invites you to join our bloodied bride in her fight for survival once more.
