SB19 Wraps Up Philippine Kickoff With Gratitude and Excitement for Global Tour

SB19 just kicked off their Simula at Wakas World Tour with a bang, filling the Philippine Arena with thousands of voices, lights, and emotions on May 31 and June 1. The group poured their hearts into the two-night spectacle, and afterward, they took to social media to thank the fans who made it unforgettable.

Josh Cullen gave fans a rare peek behind the curtain, sharing how intense preparations were. He admitted they were so focused on every little detail, from transitions to lighting, that he didn’t even have time to take personal photos during the show. In a candid post, he revealed that the rigorous prep even changed his sleep schedule. "I became a morning person," he joked, knowing full well it won’t last long.

As the dust settled, Josh took a moment to reflect. From starting with nothing to performing on one of the country’s biggest stages, he thanked the people who made it all possible, from their team to the chorale, and especially a key figure he mentioned by name. For him, the chaos of the show was manageable because they were never alone. “We had everyone we needed,” he said.

His post ended with a question many artists ask after a big win: “How do we top this?”

Pablo, the group’s leader, summed it all up in one sentence: “We came, we saw, and now, we conquer.” He also shared a lighthearted moment in bed holding a lightstick and wristband, a reminder of how personal and meaningful the journey has been.

Stell kept things emotional too. “Thank you, everyone. You filled my heart,” he wrote. As it was his birth month, he dropped some adorable selfies as a bonus for fans. “This is all I’ve got, baby,” he added with a laugh.

Justin kept his thanks short and sweet with a photo and a simple message: “Thank you nay 🫶.” Ken, meanwhile, took to TikTok to repost fan-shot videos from the event, letting fans relive the magic through their own lenses.

On their official accounts, SB19 posted their collective thanks to A’TIN, calling the energy inside the arena unforgettable. They also performed their latest track “DUNGKA!” live, which got fans up and dancing.

With the Philippine leg done, SB19 is now gearing up for the international stretch of the tour. Next stop: Taipei this June. After that, they’ll be heading to the U.S., followed by performances in Hawaii and Singapore in August. October will see them hitting major cities in the Middle East like Dubai, Doha, Riyadh, and Jeddah. Shows in Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong are also in the pipeline.

If this kickoff is any sign, Simula at Wakas is set to be more than just a tour, it’s the start of a new era for SB19.
