Unrecognized Contributions Of  

Creating their own company was a big bold move for #SB19. They were thinking not only for themselves but on what they can contribute to the music industry & the country as a whole

Pablo the leader of SB 19 s a musical genius. He is the mastermind behind this meaningful songs. He is the songwriter, composer, producer and arranger of almost all of their songs. Aside from that he uses that wordplay to their songs. Yes, they are self-managed.

Even making songs not just jingles for their endorsements, there is depth. ❤❤❤

Thank you. Hinimay niyo talaga. A'tin, must watch ito.

That's why their music appeal to critical thinkers... not for the common tao that just want the happy happy, danceable kind...their music are timeless for those who appreciates their songs.

mismo! that's how SB19 got me to listen to their music coz it's always thought -provoking, they always get us to think things, never boring or stagnant and there's always call-to-action part!

I realised they are the real ones when I listened to MAPA for the first time. I bawled my eyes out and as I watched the music video repeatedly and realised the lyrical nuances, I understood the depth of their artistry! They are really good! I appreciate their autheticity and I hope they continue to grow! I am certain they will continue growing!💜

👏 well said i know SB19 has a lot of fans and they are very dedicated and supportive. But SB19 is still underrated.. they need to be recognized by more people, especially Filipinos. people are not paying attention to them, because they were introduced as “the boy group who trained in Korea” which is not even true. because of this people already set their biases and opinions against them without giving them a chance nor listen. I know this because i was one of those people, no one in my circle knows them, but when i gave them a chance and watched their First Take, instantly I became a fan.

one thing i admire them SB19 also is they dont leave thier Partners behind, ,they bring them to stage together performing concerts , both gaining popularity yet in a very affordable price , ,

SB19 will always be part of my Playlist and life in general. Their songs mostly pushed you to become a better version of yourself. Songs like Gento and Crimzone are part of my hyped songs.

Brilliant assessments. Salamat.

Thanks for enlightening everyone what the real message from the songs of SB 19 which they want to share with us to spread to the whole World for us Filipinos to be known such talent and culture as their main goal . Let's just support and love them and be Happy! Stop hate and negativity

Very well said. Pablo is releasing a double album this month. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on his songs. 😊

On point. That’s why I strongly believe that SB19 is a league of their own. Thanks again for this valuable analysis!

Thank you for this insightful video about SB19’s music. SB19 songs/ lyrics are deep and meaningful.

Pablo is so genius in his art, it will be great if he continues his academic studies. Take up masters degree in literature and music

Thank you very much for the insights…Mahalima … hanggang sa huli🤟🤟🤟

Fairlane, I agree with everything. I think the new thing I learned, and thank you for this, is that bit about that purity in their "kalakal". Somehow, this purity can also tell us a different narrative - their state of mind in each era.

Very seldom I come across a Filipino reacts to SB19. And your reactions and observation are on point.. medyo bitin lang… 🤩🙏 I’ve been watching reaction videos of SB19 from various people mostly foreigners and yes, they are amazed at what SB19 have been doing in their songs ang in their dance..and lately they’ve been recognized about their fashion sense. Most reactions are for their songs GENTO and MAPA. I got to fully understand the message of the songs which have double meanings, allusions and different layers instilled in the music videos.. like MAPA - Map, Mama-Papa, Mata-Paa. Grabeh.. naadik nako especially their stint in the FIRST TAKE videos of MAPA and GENTO, which garnered lots of great reactions from various people mostly foreigners. I am looking forward to your next reactions of SB19’s. Sa sobrang versatile nila .. marami pa talagang aabangan sa SB19. 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖

SB19's music/compositions are cut above the rest. their songs are diverse....the lyrics of their songs are very poetic, the melodies are soooo, wowww...Pablo is a superb composer/lyricist....all the boys complement each other, they're all superb singers. inspite of their success, they remain humble and that's what endears this boys to their fans.,.

Love these boys! Watched other artists concerts ( in fact just watched rivermaya last night) but nobody catches my attention like sb19 catches my heart.

Very well said. SB19 are visionaries. They truly want to change the landscape of opm and bring it forward to the future and make it great enough to compete with other international artists. They are tackling this theme on all fronts in the Philippines and starting to convince people to the new way of thinking. They don’t just talk about it, they also walk the walk. And yet they remain so humble and acknowledge that there is room for every artist to shine in the industry. That’s why I truly love them and am one of their fans.

I’m new to SB19 and have so much more to listen to and learn about but one thing I consistently think while listening is “gorgeous”. No matter the theme, beat, tempo, style, form - there is a gorgeous fluidity in their work. Okay okay - yea the guys are gorgeous too 😉 Having just listened to your video, my admiration has just soared. I’ve been learning much from you, thank you. So glad to have found you.

SB19 ❤❤❤

Thank you very much for this well thought and very descriptive narrative of SB 19 boys' accomplishments and values. The boys truly deserve a GRAND narration of everything they have done and reached. They have more to achieve and to share the world. I pray for their good health and guidance, and to be always humble, true to themselves, and be grateful to all who are supporting them - the 1Z team and especially the A'tin community. I am proud to be a Filipino mainly because of them- my PPOP KINGS.

Thank you for this,maam.ito dapat pinapanuod sa mga bashers ng boys specially Filipino audiences na instead suportahan sila,panlalait pa ginagawa. SB19 is 💖.

Thank you for delving more into this very enlightening topic! Will be sharing this on X 😊

I personally believe they also revitalized the concert scene in the Philippines esp during & after the pandemic and encouraged brands to produce concerts themselves (Dunkin, Watsons, Puregold). This was not common b4 SB19.

I could still vividly remember when I heard "Go Up" on the radio while our car was traversing to Tagum.... From then on I never let go and continued to support the boys in any way that I can... Even buying Pepsi over Coke 😊 I am proud to be an A'tin!

Their craft is very interactive with each other and their 4th wall (fans and audience). But they also give some 'breathing room' in the form of some music that people don't want to scrutinize and just enjoy for the sake of destressing, just pure enjoyment.

All true! 😍

Omg!! You are spot on!! That's exactly how i feel about their music. I see artistry behind every aspect of their song. Everything is well-thought-out, from lyrics, beats, videos, even the release. You have articulated my thoughts in the best way possible. Thank you!

Wow! Very well said and thank you. That's why I remain a faithful a'tin because our mahalima is just an extra ordinary group, in my own opinion. Love this group really, they make me happy ❤

Thank you very much for supporting and loving #SB19. We are lucky to have you, ma'am. You're like the voice of A'TIN. Thank you for doing this video; I hope many people, especially non-fans and casual viewers, can watch this. This video will help others appreciate our MAHALIMA more. I will share this with the other A'TIN group. ❤❤❤

You brilliantly explained the subject matter.. In these times when many would prefer to just create catchy beats with mediocre lyrics, or just even mumbling nothing, I hope many people especially Filipinos will appreciate and support them..Thanks a lot !!

Thank you for this informative video. I hope by watching your videos more and more casuals will learn to appreciate SB19 more.

Informative and intelligent comments/insights as usual. A case study. Definitely ❤

Thank you so much for this video. Very well said…you’ve verbalized what has been in my head for so long…Let’s all continue to promote and support SB19 for them to have the global recognition they deserve…they are on a league of their own…so proud of them. They are our national treasures…

Wow, you got everything right. It really amazes me how SB19 are able to stay relevant after being in the industry for 6 yrs and what we are seeing from them now is just the tip of the iceberg. Thank you for this vid!

Have to share, thank you.

#SB19 is really a blessing to our country Philippines in the world of music. I love SB19 so much. So talented persons with a good heart.

Thank you for this video a very good reminder.

Very well said maam!! On point po..

Its a very good narrations, well said. 💙💙💙

Ang galing mo nmn kaps.i learned a lot talaga.lalo tuloy nainlove s kanila although dati n nmn mas lalo pa❤

Everything is on point 👊🏻🔥

💯

♥♥♥

Love Ur thoughts ❤❤❤

Agre with this. That's why I love them even more.

Very well said!

My main takeaways: 1. Connecting people. Last pagtatag docu screening i met up for the first time with my fellow A'tin in our province. We live in one region but have different dialects hence the tendency to not understand each other sometimes😅 but we bonded pretty well because of sb19. We were so noisy at mcdo singing their songs while eating. Music connected us all. 2. Form and substance. This is what really intrigued me. I became an A'tin after hearing La Luna. My gosh the wordplay and depth! And so does all of their songs. It's no wonder people call Pablo a genius. 3. Followed a legacy of failures. I agree. So many boybands came and went before them. They become famous for a while and then disappear. And some only became famous in a negative way (like not being synchronized or not sounding good in harmony). And then sb19 came and gave us BOOM! Synchronization like world class dance crew. Harmonization divine. The MVs? Revolutionary. 4. Not forced to sing something they don't want. Yeah! I came from a kpop fandom and the boys i followed sometimes had to sing something that doesn't represent their personality. Tho sb19 face financial problems sometimes because they didn't come from a big rich company, at least they're in control.

Thanks for this "synopsis" of SB19, it really captures the essence of Mahalima's halina-- how A'Tin grew to the size we have now, and still growing. Pablo mused why stan them, and my answer is always: it's their music (everything else is added bonus). Just one thing, in "What we get is what they want to give" u said "they're NOT fully in control..." u meant right? 😅 N-hu, I really enjoyed this ❤

#Cashualchuck might want to react to this video

Super agree po. I actually tell my friends who are not into SB19 yet that their lyrics can be studied in school--that's how deep and meaningful they are. Thank you po for this video.

Very well said❤

I just subscribed on your channel. Proud A'TIN here in California ❤😊

I first know about sb19 cuz their collaboration stage with &team gento was amazing

Thank you Mam

Great video 🫰 shared in X too.

Oh yes very well explained and expressed this is really my thoughts and feelings with sb 19 and their songs type of music and other sb 19 ‘s work of arts…lyrics, melody, choreography , mv , fahion statement and others….im a atin mom …first time being a fan …WHAT song and mv really caught my attention …its different not the usual love story and breakup kind of thing…like you mentioned sb 19 song it’s not all typical love song and breakup stories … i love ilaw and liham for me is more on a worship song….just thanking you for this well explained video😊

Wow Ang galing po nito how beautiful SB19 songs are and their creativity or Pablo's reative mind.❤❤❤

Very well said po... Salamat, I like most what you said about "SB19 giving us what they want to give and nothing is purer than that". Indeed. Stell even said that they don't want to be influenced by what is popular, and think about surpassing past records whatsoever but give the music that they created and love for the fans.

As much as I love SB19 I also love the way u document them. ma’am u always make me want to watch your videos because u don’t just make stories about them but u dig deep into what SB19is all about. Your stories about them always have substance which is what SB19 is and my own opinion is I don’t think there will ever be another SB19 in this generation. Thank you for making another great video.

Agree with all your points here. I fell into the rabbit hole because of their lyricism. As someone who loves to read, metaphors, and unravelling hidden meanings in songs, SB19’s discography is a smorgasbord for me.

Thank you. this is by far, for me, your best piece about our sb 19 boys, very insightful.

thanks, maam! galing! 🤎🤎🤎

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and i totally agree with what you said hoping esbi songs will be listened by many Filipinos because of substance lyrics.

Even the WYAT SONG, " there's no groove within this music, no sign of your heartbeat in it, I'm alone" They can just simply say, you're not here, I miss you, I feel lonely. Their songs will make you use your brain because of it's underlying meanings and intricacies which is very rare to find in a group here in the Philippines. This is why I understand why they are not that mainstream yet and many Pinoys still don't know them because you have to be someone who loves music or someone who has a deep understanding of art in general to really appreciate them. They don't settle for mediocrity.

So very true ur right so right ❤❤❤

Mukhang marami pa hindi updated sa mga new music artist like SB19? Marami na Foreign music experts nakapansin sa kanila. I think hindi tenga ang problema kundi ang puso na handang mag recognize sa kanila. Naka dalawang Internatioinal Concert Tour na sila. Kulang pa ba? Please get the crabs out of the house, It creates mental problem and deny the recognition due for new artist.

Thank you very much for this analysis which will definitely open the minds of fans and non fans of SB19, May I add that the group SB19 has helped in the industry and economy of our country in their small way. Many foreigners have come to the country because of the boys and some have stayed for months, kept coming back and the others buy merchandizes here to be shipped to their countries. How much more if the MAHALIMA will get more support from fellow Filipinos and the government. SB19 continues to put PPOP on the global stage.

Agreee! Period.❤❤❤❤

I’ve always admired the poetry in SB19’s songs. The ways they make us visualize with our imagination the message that they want to impart. One of my favorites is from MaPa when he said something like you were/became my legs when I was crawling. It was lyrically beautiful imagery.

Hi.. ❤❤❤

I always enjoy your insights - especially about SB19. Totally agree with your points; they’re what set SB19 apart from other groups imo. Those qualities in their music roped me in to listening to OPM music again.

Thank you! Thats trend with western songs nowadays days. Sexual and senseless. Just a great beat nothin else. Everything SB19 is deep and poetic.

I am following every reaction,every post you did on SB19. You do deep analysis of the SB19 phenomena,fleshing out their impact on Philippine music's growth,on Filipinos.I learn a lot.I am confident of your discourse,though am worried not all Pinoys would be cerebral enough to absorb and enjoy these as much as I do. You must continue this discussion about our culture and the about SB19.Btw,at the rate the Mahalima is working for Philippine Pop /OPM,they should be given a government grant and accolade just like Carlos Yulo.

I agree po s mga sinabi nyo. Yan po talaga ang naiisip at nararamdaman ng mga fans and even casuals pag naririnig mga songs nila or napapanood mga MV. Thanks for this video.

I love how you laid out each point and I agree with all of them. You re-echoed my thoughts and you articulated them well. When SB19 introduced their music, it was a hard pill to swallow because it's different from what Pinoys are used to listen in mainstream. It's easy to accept and listen to KPop but not our own pinoy version of pop. I think in addition to the contributions of SB19, it would be interesting to discuss their impact in the industry and to their audiences. With the fresh sound and relevance they bring to the table, how did this shape or affect the status of music industry in general, the quality of songs produced and released nowadays, their effect to the new OPM artists rising especially in PPop or is there even a correlation between SB19's rise to booming PH music landscape today?

🔥🔥🔥

That's why they are waaaayyy ahead of other groups..Pablo who is a genius & other members have their own contribution in the group..they were together from the lowest part of their career up until now that they have achieved a lot

i hope this would be posted on facebook for wider reach. i agree with everything you said. I have also these thoughts. Many opm are only about romantic love/ heartbreaks, to me its getting shallow and boring already because that's not all there is to life and its the reason why i wasn't that all-in into opm before only gloc9 not until i have discovered sb19. They make songs that are full of substance and also sound wise they're very innovative and unique from any opm songs. Even love songs they make is tastefully done, has a healthy and mature concept of love, and it can also be interpeted in any kind of love not just romantic.

Also before "what?" mv came out, most opm mv before that were the usual singing while walking, running in the beach etc. Maraming napasabi after what? na kaya pla ng pinoy. Look at where "what?" director is now - hndi nalang sb19 ang client. He now also makes mv for sarah geronimo, cupof joe, bini, even marian rivera tiktok vids. SB19 and 1z entertainment really are gamechangers in an industry na palakasan, hilahan pababa etc. And its sad that many filipinos dont know or acknowledge that

❤❤❤❤

To me SB19 is a shot of adrenaline to a the sleeping giant that is Filipino OPM. I cannot understand why I get the feeling it is their AGE that hinders them to be considered as a pillar of the industry. It seems to me their youth and their earlier K-Pop association put them in a box when their music is far beyond their years and the bounds of Filipino or K-pop music. To me these are the contributions of SB19. Add to that, they voice concerns and complexities only the youth have experienced and can identify with. They speak to and for the majority of the Filipino population thus should be taken seriously and be heard. The West is listening to them and gone farther than any of the mainstream artists whose careers have spanned decades. No disrespect to their predecessors but we should give the same support and respect to these new emerging leaders of the industry. Young as they may be, they are not like the 20-year-olds from generations past. Now that they've gone independent, I worry how they can keep moving forward. Negotiating locally is already difficult and moreso when dealing with say the US or Japan music industries. Filipino artists have always lost step overseas not because of talent but having a weak bargaining position.

GreAt video.❤

Number 1 - reason why i stopped listening to opm after college. Because they were all the same - either cutesy pop, indie love songs or ballads. Sb19's "what?" brought me back to opm

❤

Do you teach ptofessionally? You should. I felt like I was in a webinar😊 you didn't just give us a rundown of your thoughts but you spoke about it intelligently and point per point. You gave me a broader perspective on SB19. I will only listen to you from hereon❤ kudos to a job well done🎉🎉 More please kahit ibang group pa yan😊

SB19 for me is the most SELFLESS Ppop group. They always mention Ppop rise in their interviews. And yet, bashers downplay their great contribution. Ubdeniably, this group's songs will endure and stay gor a long time.

of oourse it is being recognized. everyone in the industry reconizes sb 19. kung sino man nagsasabi ng di sila recognozed ikaw na lang yun siguro. kasi pag di kinikilala yan wala sinuman ang sumusuporta dyan. kaya nga sila nananalo sa mga ibat ibang flatform dahil ma din sa mga fans. pinoy pa ba? alangan naman nananalo sila dahil sa boto ng mga dayuhan? 😂😂😂
