Former HORI7ON member Jeromy Melendres Batac is turning the page with a new name.

Now known as Jiro Batac, the singer, dancer, and performer has officially joined Horizon Digital Management (HDM), marking a new chapter focused on his individual career and digital presence.

“New chapter. New moments. Same Jiro,” HDM wrote as it welcomed him to its roster, introducing the performer as an artist ready to explore new music, performances, and projects.

The announcement arrives during a period of transition for HORI7ON. The group recently terminated its exclusive contracts with MLD Entertainment and ABS-CBN, prompting questions among Anchors about what the changes could mean for its members and the group moving forward.

HDM, however, clarified that Jiro’s signing is primarily about his individual activities. Fans can expect to see more of Jiro outside the usual stage setting, with HDM teasing content that puts more of his personality, interests, everyday life, and experiences in front of the camera. Now, his next chapter appears to be widening that space even further, giving him room to explore the performer and personality behind the name fans have known for years.
