Moira Dela Torre is no longer keeping completely silent about the friendships that faded during one of the most complicated chapters of her personal and professional life.

More than a year after her social media activity sparked questions about her relationships with several personalities in the entertainment industry, the singer-songwriter acknowledged that misunderstandings, hurt feelings and decisions made during an emotional period contributed to the distance between them.

Speaking at the press conference for her upcoming concert Where It All Started, Moira addressed questions surrounding the much-talked-about unfollowing controversy that erupted in early 2025.

At the time, followers noticed changes on her Instagram account involving several personalities associated with her former management, Cornerstone Entertainment. Among the names drawn into the online discussion were Sam Milby, Yeng Constantino, Erik Santos and TJ Monterde.

But Moira stressed that the story was more complicated than what people saw on social media.

Asked whether she had said or done something specifically that prompted people to unfollow her, she answered simply, “No, I didn’t.”

She also denied deliberately betraying friends by talking about them behind their backs. Moira explained that she had confided in someone close to her during a difficult period, but insisted that it was never her intention to hurt anyone.

“I opened up to a close friend of mine, but I didn’t backstab anyone. Not in that way. I wouldn’t do that. They’re all safe with me,” she said.

What Moira did acknowledge was that unresolved misunderstandings developed between her and her former management. According to the singer, those issues were never fully discussed at the time.

“I know that a lot of the things that happened had something to do with a lot of misunderstandings. And we never got to talk about it,” she shared.

Despite whatever happened behind the scenes, Moira chose to speak of her former management with gratitude rather than resentment. She credited the people who worked with her through important stages of her career and said she would rather keep the details of their differences private.

“And it was with my previous management, whom I’m very, very grateful for. And I wouldn’t be where I am now without them,” she said.

For Moira, losing friendships appears to have been among the most painful consequences of that period. She admitted that some of her own actions while she was hurting may also have affected people around her.

“For me, I’m still hopeful that none of us really burned bridges. And a lot of us just need a little bit of time,” she said.

She added, “I acknowledge that there were things na nagawa ko po when I was hurting na hindi ko po sinasadya.”

Rather than place responsibility entirely on those who distanced themselves from her, Moira publicly accepted her share of the hurt.

“Huwag din po natin ialis sa kanila na nasaktan ko sila. Kasalanan ko po. Kunin na natin ’yan,” she said, while emphasizing that the people involved should not be portrayed as villains because of the unfollowing controversy.

The singer also maintained that the friendships they once shared were genuine.

“But I know that what we all had was real. They’re all good people, and I’m really, really grateful for the memories that we all had and shared,” she said.

When asked whether peace had already been made with some of those involved, Moira indicated that there had been progress but declined to reveal details.

“Yeah. But I think it’s just very hard to be in the middle. I just, I don’t wanna say so much,” she explained.

What she is willing to say publicly is that she has not given up on repairing relationships.

“And I’m so hopeful for reconciliation someday,” Moira said.

She also expressed appreciation for friends who remained present through difficult times, mentioning Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Erik Santos and Angeline Quinto among those who supported her.

The conversation comes as Moira prepares for another career milestone. Where It All Started will be staged on October 4, 2026, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, marking her first headline concert at the venue.

Produced by Ovation Productions, the show takes its name from a track on her album I’m Okay. The concert arrives after the July 2026 release of the album’s deluxe edition, which expanded the project with acoustic recordings and collaborations.

For an artist whose music has often transformed heartbreak and vulnerability into songs, the upcoming concert now carries another layer of meaning. As Moira looks back at where her journey began, she is also leaving room for something beyond the stage: the possibility that friendships fractured by pain and misunderstanding may still find their way toward reconciliation.
