When I look up, yeah, all was in vain. I wasn’t enough, now my mind can’t think. People just tell lies, devil was a good liar. Caught in a trap, now I’m pro’ly insane. Face down, think I’m losing this game. All I got is the fear and the shame. Realize some things just can’t change. So sad that it just won’t change. Think I got demons in my head, on my mind. I see it, I could see it, I could see it in my eyes… Read more

A story of my journey to discovering new ways of navigating life. Stumbling upon FELIP wasn’t this grand revelation. It happened one ordinary day but marked a pivotal point in my life.

The First It was mid-August 2023, Thursday evening. I worked from home that day and I finished work at around 6pm. I sat on my couch and grabbed my phone to look for something to watch on YouTube. The first suggested video I saw – “SB19 Performs Gento on Good Day New York.” I recognized the word “Gento” as my 4-year old niece would sometimes sing the song and dance to it. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the video … Read more
When the heart overflows with so much love and joy, it tends to spill over. This seems to be exactly the case with Felip (aka SB19 Ken) fans. Felip’s music, artistry and character generate such strong, positive emotions that fans simply feel the urge to pass on all the good energy they receive from Felip to the world. From sharing warmth and cheer with the elderly, to pitching in for animal conservation efforts, let’s revisit and celebrate the generous acts … Read more
I first encountered SB19 through the vibrant poster and billboard ads from Dunkin, but I never quite ventured into their music. It wasn’t until the release of their Pagtatag EP in 2023 that the group truly caught my attention. Among the tracks, “Gento” began to gain some traction, especially through a TikTok dance challenge my sister introduced me to. As I explored their music video on YouTube, I found myself captivated by the blonde-haired individual with a deep voice. This … Read more
