During the performance of the song 'El Apagón', the singer addressed the ongoing issues of water shortages and electricity interruptions affecting families in Puerto Rico. [^2]

Martínez Ocasio stated that regardless of how many times he has performed in Puerto Rico, from discos to the Hiram, it is always an honor and a blessing to meet the love of his people. [^3]

He said he cannot bring water to those without it or electricity to those who lose power daily, but wanted to bring joy, hope, and strength to keep fighting and defending Puerto Rico. [^4]

Bad Bunny also said the chaos and disaster in Puerto Rico are created on purpose to make people give up and leave so the island can be sold piece by piece, with the goal of a Puerto Rico without Puerto Ricans. [^5]

During the closing concerts, Bad Bunny addressed Puerto Rico's water and electricity problems and, with the message 'Esencia no va' shown on the giant screen, referenced the $2,000 million luxury project in the island's southwest that a sector has criticized over the environmental damage it would cause.
