A few days ago, celebrated Filipino singer and actress Vina Morales arrived in the United States for a series of shows. However, her much-anticipated event in Chicago faced an abrupt cancellation.

The icon’s management, Star Magic, announced that the show, which was scheduled to be held on June 2 at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Skokie, Illinois, was canceled due to the promoter’s alleged non-compliance with contractual obligations.
