<p><strong>Chito Miranda</strong>, the frontman of Parokya ni Edgar, announced to stop being a coach on "The Voice Kids" to focus on his band. Known for his role as a mentor on ABS-CBN's "Idol Philippines" and "The Voice Generations" on GMA, Chito shared his decision through a social media post.</p>

<p>The vocalist expressed his enjoyment being a coach and valued the friendships he made with fellow coaches. However, the demands of his on-screen commitments &ldquo;<em>took too much time away from his band</em>."</p>
<p>He also stressed the importance of his band and their shared livelihood. "<em>I could continue doing TV shows and make money for myself and my family, or I could prioritize our gigs instead, and make enough money for everyone on our team, including their families, but it's not just about the money,</em>" he added.</p>
<p>For Miranda, playing gigs with his band is &ldquo;more than just a job.&rdquo; He highlighted the freedom they have with their schedule as a band, which allows him more time with his family and bandmates. "<em>Right now, nasa point ako ng buhay ko na mas trip ko na tumambay lang kasama ng pamilya ko, at tumugtog kasama ng mga kabanda ko.</em>" Chito concluded.</p>
<p>Chito&rsquo;s return to focus on Parokya ni Edgar promises more music and performances from the band that has been a key part of the Filipino music scene for nearly three decades.</p>
