[@mahalima1819]

Who else here will always support our MAHALIMA? 🥺🥺👋👋

[@sarahyang4966]

We support Mahalima Hanggang sa huli 💙

[@raizzabruzo8075]

#A'TIN ALWAYS SUPPORT MAHALIMA 🥰👏🥺💖💖💖💖

[@jmb1819]

My admiration for Pablo as a leader is eternal. Kudos SB19! A'tin Hangtud Sa Hangtud!

[@maryjunegana7854]

Agree A'tin! He always brings out the best of his members. So humble Pinuno Pablo. God bless you all 🙏🏻

[@Geisha1968]

I really admire Pablo as the Pinuno. He lifts up not himself but each one of the members and praises their individual strength. Each of the members brings his own flavor to the group’s dynamic. Each member can stand on his own, as evidenced by their solo projects, but the five of them combined hits differently. Iba talaga ang dating pag silang lima. As a group, they are phenomenal!

[@JPau001]

PABLO must be so proud. It's been 7 months and GENTO is still being played . You did great.

[@zoeypurr]

The best leader talaga si Pablo. The way he compliments all of his members and their contributions, saying "no one is better than the other..." that each one contributes to the dynamics of their songs and the group. Iba ka talaga Pablo.

[@mariacaragan6137]

The authenticity is very evident. Walang showbiz happening 😅. Yung bond na nabuo nila ay matatag na. At lalo pa nilang pinatatatag. God bless SB19

[@kidsmartialartstrainingstu2116]

I've never heard of them until their viral video recently and I wish I heard of them sooner but I'm more impressed with how well they answer their questions. So professional and no ounce of arrogance. Even their posture shows how mature they are while each one listens to each other. I'm proud of how this group composed themselves. Incredible and I'm forever a fan. Hindi lang kasi mga Pinoy Pride, ha! Haha! I truly am proud of this and more success of their growth in the industry. Great job! Continue to be amazing influences.

[@DareDarl]

True! And you’re still lucky you got to discover them just right in time for the Pagtatag comeback. Hopefully by the entire Philippines too. They seem to be more appreciated internationally, though very much loved by the Filipino A’tin “ilalaban hanggang hukay” sila. You can’t help but be also kind & hardworking as these young men are. They are truly inspiring.

[@janebangkok1]

They are trained to answer questions. But their authenticity penetrates the screen :) That’s why those who get to know them start to love them.

[@janebangkok1]

And they never look down nor throw shade to other group. They are all about making ppop rise together.

[@ajm0404]

Grabe si pins. naiiyak ako while he is giving compliments sa apat. you can see how good leader he is hindi niya binibida na siya yun gumawa ng song instead it's a group effort. haysss hindi ako0 nagkamali ng sinuporthan.

[@jerichorazon5363]

Iba yung Pablo. Napakagaling na song writer. Melody, beat, texture, areglo, lyrics. 100%

[@minyoung823]

Exactly. Napakagaling din ng producer nya, Simon Servida. At nsa Canada si Simon, sometimes instructions ni Pablo over chat lng, minsan bigay lng ng beat si Pablo at gagawan na ni Simon ng iba't ibang klase ng tunog. Watch his vlogs. Very interesting and educational sa mga hindi alam pano magproduce ng music.

[@rlf4403tube]

I can feel the sincerity of Josh for his respect to Stell!

[@jinjinela]

Pablo's songwriting process is amazing..that guy's a genius sheeesh.. he just hears something and forms music out of it❤❤ he even distributes the parts..so from the formation of the song he already thinks about each member's distinct voice and attributes..just wow..

[@eiwahyeizzz]

Bgong A’tin!!!!! Shaaaaat! 🤘🏼🌭🐺 haaaay pinunooooo ang galing mu! Iba ang pablo sa pagsusulat, sa paggawa ng kanta, sa pagproduce, at ibang iba as a leader! Bangko ng lahat ang iaangat! World domination!!! 🤘🏼

[@faithpit8815]

Grabe MAD RESPECT talaga sayo Pinunong Pablo, My ghaaadd!! Sobrang Genius Talaga! ❤

[@cxxipm]

the fact that the are a self manage group you can see how much they’ve come along way and the more things they’ll do and achieve in the future just feels so inspiring and motivating… freakin love these guys

[@jinig4598]

Ganda na nang build ni justin, bagay na bagay yung slimfit shirt nya

[@janebangkok1]

He should wear more these kind of fits 😊

[@pearlorient9972]

Respect to these boys especially to a very talented but humble leader PABLO❤

[@vealet5008]

So proud of this new era. Kitang kita naman sa cap ni Pablo… talagang masayang masaya na sya dahil self-produced na sila 😫💪🤩✨

[@azamimaessie38]

Creativity of Pablo is superb ❤

[@user-wk9zs8xs1n]

8:08 Stell's "Thank you po~" to Pablo is soo cutee and heart-meltinggg 😭😭😭

[@jinph9548]

They are so expensive to look at. I'm so happy for you Mahalima. Isa na lang wish ko para sa inyo - isang Grammy Awards trophy!!!!

[@licitsuan4646]

Yes...Grammy...sigurado Yan❣️❣️❣️

[@sarahyang4966]

Manifesting kaps 🙏💙

[@shadow-he4os]

Me isang vocal coach reactor na member yata ng Grammy at sinabeng iboboto nya raw ang SB19 for the Grammy’s next year😲yan den dream ko for the group…

[@nalineboustani9837]

True kaps

[@mariaevapaner4500]

Pablo is a selfless leader. He really wants each member to shine.

[@lorenalopera5183]

Kaya paanong hinde ka maaamaze someone like Pablo.. marami nga mga magagaling na song writers pero ibang klase kase ang style niya so unique at nagsusulat xia para sa limang members hinde lng para sa sarili niya so dagdag sa efforts niya kung paano bubuuhin ang isang kanta na talagang maganda ang kalalabasan. Gento pa lng ang napapakinggan at napapanood natin pag nilabas na ung buong EP lalong hinde tayo magkakamayaw ano uunahin💙♥️ God bless sa lahat lalo na sa Mahalima and more power😊💙❤

[@user-wk9zs8xs1n]

8:00 When Pablo's showering Stell w/ compliments abt his voice then Stell was like : Thank you po~ 🥺🥺 They're so-

[@dezzyleonar346]

Super natural ni Pablo grabe mad talent talagang super gifted kudos👏

[@cls199x]

"wala akong masabi. sobrang masaya lang po talaga kami" - pau 🥺🤍

[@fjelm297]

I am so proud of them. So humble. Grabe. Pablo is a very good leader and I could see how the rest of the members respect him.

[@shielamaemasong3115]

Hindi talaga sila nag stay sa the same na music nila. Kahit ung music na paulit2 nilang kinakanta eh binabago nila ung tunog or way ng pagsayaw o pagkanta kay hindi nakakasawa silang pakinggan. Go MAHALIMA!!!! 🔥💙💙💙💙💙 thank you po for always featuring SB19!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@beverlyvizarra5897]

Super nakaka admire ang talent ni pablo sa song writing .. kaya stan ko yan . Hindi pa selfish . Nagawa sia para sa lahat hindi lang para sa sarili niya .

[@elucidationdefender]

Maraming salamat sa interview na ito with SB19. I agree with Jah, hirap naman talaga yung ginagawa ni Pau as a songwriter, composer at taga-distribute ng lines. Nakaka-amaze talaga. Ang galing mo dun, Jampawlo 👏 Also just wanna say I feel you, Pau. Az a Virgo, typical trait talaga natin maging self critical 😅

[@3angels0802]
