The way i will NEVER get offended by bashers questioning whether SB19 (also) paid to get pitched for coachella, because;
1. SB19/1Z has always been transparent with us about their partnerships, and even credited UTA for facilitating the coachella negotiations.
2. SB19 owns AND manages 1Z. So whether it meant paying an upfront fee or offering their partner agents a cut to pitch them to global festivals, they did it through their own efforts and with their own resources. The fact that a 4-year old company has the capacity to make these kinds of investments in its artist's career is already something worth flexing.
3. While SB19 partnered with UTA to pitch their group for coachella (as is standard industry practice), they also already built a substantial international festival portfolio prior to this partnership. ON THEIR OWN. WITH NOTHING BUT SHEER TALENT AND HARD WORK TO BACK THEM UP!
Ultimately, this festival placement is just another growth marker in their career. It demonstrates how much they've come and how closer they're getting to the ultimate goal of GLOBAL DOMINATION.
And as an A'tin, I could not be prouder!🥰🔥
I just want to say…
SB19 made it to Coachella (and other global stages) because they worked hard for it. Because they put their talent, intelligence, and strategic thinking to good use. They EARNED their place there. They deserve to be celebrated for what THEY have accomplished.
Not because of anyone else.
When SB19 started carving their path towards the global stage, there was no established road for them to follow. They had to create opportunities, break barriers, challenge perceptions, and prove that Filipino artists could compete and be recognized internationally.
And here’s what I think people fail to understand: SB19 isn’t just building a road for themselves. They’re building a SOLID foundation for Filipino music to have a sustainable presence in the global industry.
They’re not simply chasing international visibility, viral moments, or fleeting attention. They’re putting in the work to establish something that lasts. A pathway that even smaller, independent Filipino artists, without the backing of major networks or labels, can eventually follow.
That’s the difference between creating a moment and building something that can outlast it.
And the best part? They’re not building this road to keep it exclusive to themselves. They’ve consistently expressed their desire to see more Filipino artists succeed, regardless of their size or backing. They want the industry to grow, and they’re helping create the conditions for that growth.
So, by all means, celebrate the growing international recognition of Filipino music. But let’s not conveniently erase the groundwork that helped make this possible.
You can acknowledge the progress of an entire industry without rewriting the history of those who helped move it forward.
SB19 earned their place. Their contributions deserve recognition. Neither should be diminished to make room for anyone else’s success.
So what I’m trying to say is…
Get off your high horses. It’s really not a good look. 🙄
1Z and SB19 worked hard to earn their place at C/oachella. This is the fruit of their own hard work, talent, and dedication. Ang dami nilang pinagdaanan para makarating diyan, tapos gusto niyong i-credit sa iba yung pinaghirapan nila?
I'm not against your fave, and this isn't about putting other artists down. I just don't like the way some of you fans think and how harsh you are toward ESBI. You can support your own idols without belittling SB19 or taking away the credit they rightfully deserve. 💙
Yun lang naman.
@9mihyo "Gusto nyo ba SB19 lang aangat?"
HINDI Girl. Alam mo kung ano ang gusto namin? Wag nyong i-discredit ang ambag ng SB19 sa PPOP. Wag nyong i-rewrite ang history. Don't take the credit to whom it is due.
Marami sa hanay nyo ang gumagawa nyan. Yun lang.
And 1Z is handled by the SB19 members themselves. Let's be real. When SB19 came & PROVED that Filipinos, specifically P-Pop, could also compete on the international stage, other entertainment companies began investing in that vision too. Nilaban nila ito.
SB19 is a revolution.
If being under ABS doesn't mean bini had it easy.. then pano na lang ang SB19 na nagsimula sa wala? Kung nagstruggle na ng bongga ang buni dyan, pano na lang ang SB19? Dyan pa lang dapat alam nyo na ang laki ng pinag kaiba.
Hello everyone! Just want to share a little story, mga kaps! 😂
I live and work here in Toronto, Canada. This morning, I took an Uber to work, and the driver was really nice. During the ride, he asked if I had a song request, so I asked him to play “TIME” by SB19.
He searched for it on Spotify and played the song. When it ended, he asked if the singers were a boy band. I told him that they’re a Filipino pop group. He said he really liked their voices and the song, especially how meaningful and emotional it was. He absolutely loved it! Then he played more songs of SB19 like “I want you”, “Gento”, “MAPA” and “Quit”.
He then started asking about SB19 and even requested more of their songs. When we arrived at my destination, I thanked him for playing my song requests. But his response made me smile. He said, “No, I should be the one thanking you for introducing this group to me. I’ll definitely check them out and add their songs to my playlist.”
And just like that, I think we have another one who’s about to fall into the SB19 rabbit hole! HAHAHA! 😂
One ride, one song, and another potential A’TIN! 💙💙💙

SB19 has been dreaming big since day one, while everyone else was calling them delusional. But now that SB19 is getting closer to making that dream a reality, suddenly everyone thinks it’s achievable and wants to beat them to it 🤷♀️ and that’s how Ph industry works 🙂
Instead of asking why SB19 took 8 years to get to Coachella, perhaps we should be asking better questions.
What was the P-pop landscape like when they started?
What barriers did they have to overcome that artists entering the industry today may no longer face to the same extent?
How did they help change the perception of Filipino pop groups, build international audiences, and make P-pop more visible to the global music industry?
What doors did their achievements help open for the artists who came after them?
And most importantly, what did those eight years contribute to the industry we see today?
Before asking why it took them eight years, ask what they had to overcome, build, and break through in those years.
The question isn't how long SB19 took to get there. It's how different the road to P-pop's global recognition might have been without them.
Hindi ako usually sumasali sa fanwars pero kung casual ako, pag sinabing PPOP, SB19 papasok sa isip ko. 'Di naman kasi matunog ang "Ppop" dati eh. Pinaglaban pa nila yang term na yan hanggang sa dumami na ngayon ang ppop groups.
