Girl group Calista has officially parted ways with its former management, Merlion Entertainment.
P-pop girl group Calista has ended its partnership with its former talent management agency Merlion Entertainment.
On Instagram, the agency released a statement announcing its separation from the four-member group.
"As of June 1, 2026, the management partnership between Merlion Entertainment and the members formerly known as CALISTA has officially concluded," the statement read.
"We are grateful for the memories and milestones we shared together throughout the years. We sincerely thank Anne Tenorio, Dain Leones, Denise Pello, and Elle Pascual for their dedication. As they embark on a new chapter, we wish them nothing but success, growth, and happiness in all their future endeavors."
Meanwhile, on June 6, Wide International announced that they had signed a new contract with the P-pop group.
In a social media post, Calista was seen attending the Thailand International Festival (TILFF), where the members supported Glaiza De Castro and Rhian Ramos's film I Fell, It's Fine.
"Surely, it is a major milestone for Anne, Elle, Denise, and Dain, who were given the opportunity to represent the Philippines and support the movie I Fell, It's Fine at an international festival in Thailand on June 5, 2026," the company wrote.
" They graced the Thailand International Festival (TILFF) alongside famous Filipino actresses Glaiza de Castro and Rhian Ramos, Ice Arago, renowned director Sigrid Andre P. Bernardo, and the co-owner and President of Wide International, Ms. April Davis Martin."
As of this writing, the members have yet to release a statement regarding the management change.
Calista, which stands for “Call It A Star,” debuted in 2022 with the pop-house single "Race Car."
They're also known for their hits such as "Alas Dose," "LMK (Let Me Know)," "Ugnayan," and more.
Meanwhile, one of their members, Denise, recently competed in the second season of Stars on the Floor.
