So as an international SB19 fan, I was excited and curious about the song SB19 will cover (Mga Kababayan Ko - M Francis) for the Forgotten Memories animation. Im Pacific Islander so I feel the excitement Filipinos have for the film because I was the same with Moana. I listened and looked up the lyrics and its English translations and wow😭 Reading the lyrics really had me emotional. What a beautiful song and I just know SB19 felt so honoured to cover this song for an amazing film. Like look at these lyrics!
My Countrymen
All of you should know
I’m proud of my colour
I am Filipino
If there’s black or there’s white
There’s also brown/tan
Think that you can
Reach your aspirations
We should strive as not to suffer
Do well in your work
Because if you want it, you can do it
If you can do it, so can he/she
And we both can do it
Our own are capable
Always keep that in mind
Success can be reached
If you’re ready to endure
Through the hardship and exhaustion of problems
Don’t drown
Come up to surface
Don’t sink
Because relief will be next
Avoid envy
You covet those of others
When instead you should be happy for the blessing your fellow man receives
“Ang sa iba’y ibig mong
makamit - Dapat nga ika’y matuwa sa
napala ng iyong kapatid” (fav line coz i seen the crab mentality too much)
I want to let you know
That we’re all in this together
To everyone who made this possible for SB19, thank you. To A’tin, thank you. I can’t wait to watch it.

Can we talk about how insane this is for a second?
The upcoming DreamWorks movie soundtrack for The Forgotten Island features Lea Salonga, BINI, Sophia Laforteza, Ruby Ibarra, and SB19.
The movie centers on the friendship of two Filipina girls. Naturally, you'd expect most of the soundtrack to lean heavily toward female artists. And yet, SB19 was still handpicked to be part of it. That alone speaks volumes.
And can we please talk about the fact that the song they contributed is "Mga Kababayan"? Of all songs!
I'm honestly so curious how they'll incorporate it into the movie. Will it be during a big cultural moment? An opening montage? A scene introducing the Philippines? Because if there's one song that instantly screams Filipino pride and identity, it's that song.
The thought of a Francis M classic being carried by SB19 into a DreamWorks film that's showcasing Filipino stories, culture, and mythology to a global audience is giving me goosebumps.
I don't know, man. As an A'TIN, moments like these never get old.
Nakakaproud. Sobra.
Sobrang cute ni Ken kanina nung dance nila with Riehata. Di ko alam yung song. Haha. Madaming smiles. Bawal magvideo kaya ganito yun sya… 😊🤪😊😊🤪😊

Two things I will say at this point…
1. @SB19Official’s cover of Francis M’s Mga Kababayan is ABSOLUTE FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 As in your ATIN heart will not be able to contain your excitement when you hear it in #ForgottenIsland 💙
2. When I pushed for #SB19InForgottenIsland last year, #SB19 were not yet part of the film/soundtrack at that time. It wasn’t a marketing gimmick where I already knew the outcome. So SLMT as always #ATIN 🙏
Remember that father who joined his daughter at an event for Stell's birthday in Taiwan? He became a fan of SB19 because of his daughter. 😊 He's Professor Li, an author! A fan of his had his copy of Prof Li's latest book signed and Prof Li quoted SB19's TIME!
You're best is enough
It won't hurt to try
😊
SB19's impact is more than just music. It resonates to cultures outside PH. It's never just about beats, melodies, virality, or casual listening. It is connection, reflections and application to our daily lives.
Mabuhay kayo, SB19!

1. Be smart with your money, at wag magpapautang unless okay lang sayo na di na maibabalik.
2. Don’t force the interaction or fabricate stories to make it seem na organic yung encounters. Stalking is not it.
3. Hindi sa pag attend ng ganap nor sa pagbili ng merch masusukat ang pagiging fan but how much love and support you give to the artist.
4. Protect your peace over anything.
5. Fangirling should serve as our solace and not a distraction sa responsibilities natin in the real world.
Dear SB19,
Grabe. Where do we even begin?
From the very start, we saw something in you that was rare, something real, something powerful. And now, years later, watching you light up the Philippine Arena for not just one, but two unforgettable nights for your Simula at Wakas world tour kickoff… goosebumps lang talaga. What a moment. What a milestone. What a journey.
You’ve always represented Acer with such authenticity, grace, and heart. You are masters of your craft, world-class in talent, in discipline, in vision and yet you remain grounded, humble, and true. That’s not easy to do. But you’ve never once compromised your art or your values. You’ve always chosen the path of purpose over shortcuts, of quality over convenience. And we see that. We feel that. And we couldn’t be prouder.
We’ve grown together through so many seasons—ups, downs, triumphs, risks, tears, breakthroughs. It’s been a ride, hasn’t it? But every step of the way, you’ve shown us what it means to rise with integrity and to dream with intention. And to be honest, being one of your OG “ninangs,” the one cheering from the sidelines, quietly proud backstage, and always, always believing—that’s a role we wear with so much pride.
You’ve shown the world who SB19 is. And now the world is yours for the taking.
So go, conquer, create, soar. And know that Acer will be right here, cheering you on and supporting you however we can. We have always believed in you, and we always will.
With all our love, pride, and admiration,
Acer 💚
P.S. Salamat, A’TIN, for standing beside them through it all. You’re part of this story, too.
