Happy birthday in heaven, tita bebeng. I thought of you randomly the other day which I haven’t for the longest time. You must be sending me encouragement and signs of your guidance. Always been grateful for your guidance❤️
Times like this napapawish akong sana turned on and messages ni @felipsuperior kasi bilang dakilang single since birth, sakanya nalang ako nagsusumbong ng mga life rants and updates ko😂
reminding myself of the pinky promise I made to stell na as long as we see each other striving, we wont give up on life and will always cheer each other on for our dreams.
Pagod ako pero paisa lang.
1Z Entertainment - the event organizer and content owner. They're responsible for the concert itself, the production, schedule, performers, and ensuring a proper show feed is provided.
iWant (ABS-CBN) - the broadcast and livestreaming service provider. They handle the actual streaming infrastructure, the encoding, transmission, and delivery of the video feed to paying online viewers. They also manage the ticketing (digital access), player, and viewer experience on their platform.
1Z Entertainment hired iWant by ABS-CBN to handle the official livestream of SB19's anniversary concert Fast Zone. That means they were the service provider, not just the "receiver" of the feed. Their own crew was at the venue, managing the broadcast.
So what actually happened that day was a few minutes before the concert was supposed to start, all paying viewers suddenly got logged out of the site. It took a long time before the issue was fixed. Then when people finally got back in, iWant started playing ads during the downtime, and not even event-related ones, just promos of their own shows and artists (like, seriously?)
Anyway, the concert eventually started, but some parts of the stream were blurry, and no, it wasn’t because of our internet connection. Then came Pablo's solo stage, and out of nowhere, the audio went completely mute. It stayed that way until the SB19 x Sarah G collab stage.
Now, the fact that only certain parts of the concert were muted shows this wasn't a venue or feed problem. That kind of issue points to a platform-side malfunction, something must have gone wrong with iWant's live encoder or ingest system. If it were from the venue, the on-site engineers would've noticed and fixed it immediately.
So tell me, how is that 1Z's fault again?
The concert itself went perfectly fine onsite. Everyone there saw and heard everything clearly. Ang gaganda at ang lilinaw nga ng mga fancams eh. The problems happened only on the livestream, not the stage.
And what's weird is that the audio cut exactly during two of the most anticipated moments of the night. And why did it stay muted for two full performances before coming back? If it was just a "technical glitch," it would've been fixed in seconds. Either someone wasn't monitoring properly, or something more deliberate happened.
Even if it wasn't intentional, it was gross incompetence that had the same effect as sabotage because it ruined key moments that were supposed to showcase SB19's artistry and 1Z's production milestone.
What's worse is how the narrative is being twisted. Fans are demanding accountability from iWant, and suddenly 1Z is being blamed and A'TIN are being called "toxic" for speaking up?
Sorry, but asking for basic accountability isn't toxicity. It's consumer rights. We paid for a proper viewing experience. Stop gaslighting the fandom. We're not complaining just for the sake of it, we're disappointed, because what was supposed to be a celebration turned into a technical disaster we didn't deserve.
