How does it feel to be one of the first men known to redefine gender standards in Philippine fashion (mainstream)?
Josh: Bakit tayo magkaka-limitations kung ano ang dapat isuot, yung nakasanayan mo lang ang susuot mo? Pwede ka naman maging creative —
477
Pablo: Gaano man katigas yung lupa, kasama yung panahon, mananatili tayong nakatayo.
Sana pag nadinig nila yung Pagsibol EP, mabuhayan sila. Sumisibol ka pa lang, dadating yung panahon na tatatag ka at magiging puno ka na sabi nga ni Stell
478
Justin: That explains po PAGSIBOL, still growing.
Stell: Masasagot po namin yan pag yung album namin, ang title na ay PUNO
479
If you could rate your growth as artist from 1-10?
Stell: If I could rate this question, it would be a 10 for difficulty
Pablo: 1, kasi hanggang ngayon natututo pa rin kami. Mahirap i-gauge yung learnings. Hindi ko alam kailan ako titigil.
Stell: Every day is a learning process.
480
Pablo: Since virtual concert ito, we want it to be explosive. Ang goal po namin is to give them something extravagant para masabi nila, "Yes buti na lang bumili ako ng ticket!"
482
Justin: DIY recording kami nun
Stell: Naglalagay kami ng mga comforter (for acoustics) pag nagre-record
Justin: For "What?" we were involved sa whole production ng MV. Struggle kami with deadlines, rollercoaster din yung journey namin. May masaya, may sobrang hirap na process
483
Unforgettable production moments?
Josh: Nagsuntukan po. Jok lang
Justin: Inunti-unti po namin yung production. Like yung "Mapa" magkakasama kami sa condo, si Stell naglalaba nun, nung tinanong kami ni Pablo kung ano gusto namin sabihin sa parents namin.
484
Justin: Interconnected sila sa meaning po. "What?" is about individuality, "Mapa" is about our parents, "Mana" is about reaching high but keeping grounded, "Ikako" is for frontliners, "BAZINGA" is for detractors, "SLMT" is for our fans.
Lahat sila about our roots.
485
Pablo: Lahat po ng kanta sa EP interconnected. Sa mga music videos, mapapakita po.
Yung "What?" iba yung atake niya sa "Mana." (*SPOILER DETAILS HERE, ABANGAN NA LANG*)
486
What are you very proud of?
Justin: We're very proud of A'TIN. Nandiyan sila lagi for us, lagi kaming sinusuportahan, laging kasama. May family kami. And being proud of who we are, our hard work. Kasi we got to where we are and we got to make something new because of that.
487
Pablo: When we step up on stage and face people, pinapakita namin truest self namin. Pati sa kanta namin. Be proud of who you are, iwagayway mo ang watawat mo. Thankful kami kung inspirasyon nila kami, pero gusto namin gawin nila kung ano yung gusto nila, be who they are.
488
How does it feel that other groups look up to you?
Josh: Hindi naman namin kayang maging successful kung kami lang ito. Kailangan may mga kasama kami sa industry. Isa sa main goals namin magbigay-inspirasyon din sa mga batang gusto ring sumubok. SB19 alone won't make P-pop.
489
What can your fans expect sa @RollingStone and @iHeartRadio appearance?
Josh: Online lang naman po, hindi engrande unlike pag personal kami nag-guest dun. Pero ma-expect nila kami pa rin naman, pinaghahandaan namin lahat ng interviews pero huwag po super expect, kami pa rin ito
490
Which song was the most challenging to write?
Stell and Justin: Parang hindi naman po siya nahirapan...
Pablo: Yung "What?" kasi merong tempo change. Mag-iiba yung feeling. Yung lyrics kailangan sasabay sa feeling na pagbabago. Dun pinakamatagal at mahaba rin yung kanta, 5 mins.
491
If you can talk to your past self:
Pablo: Mas gamiting pa yung time mo na mas efficient. Mag-aral ka pa ng mga bagay-bagay para mas ma-maximize mo yung skills mo.
(A very Pablo answer btw)
492
If you can talk to your past self:
Stell: Bukod sa congrats, maging matapang ka pa. Nire-ready ka pa lang ni Lord. Make sure ready kang harapin lahat. Hindi lang success, may failures din. Just be thankful sa handang tumulong at gumabay sa 'yo.
493
Reaction to @jamiemillmusic wanting to collab with you?
Stell: Excited kasi I love his song, "Here's Your Perfect." Na-LSS ako. So tinry ko lang mag-record. Wala akong ine-expect. Nagulat po ako na-notice niya. Siguro after po ng concert. Open po to possible opps and collabs.
494
Which song on the EP would you like people to listen to first?
Pablo: If A'tin ang makikinig, gusto ko SLMT. Pag casual listener, siguro po yung...
All: BAZINGA
Pablo: Kasi kahit international fans maiintindihan siya.
495
Justin: Pagsibol, germination. Everything about our growth as SB19 from the beginning up to where we are today.
Pablo: Ayaw po namin na iisa lang yung tunog na madidinig nila pag napakinggan nila yung EP. The next song, iba dapat yung mood nila. Parang nasa rollercoaster sila.
497
Mapapaaga pa ata lalo ang world domination 😭🙏🏻 Ama salamat at ikaw ang agimat
498
ALL I CAN SAY FOR NOW IS I AM ABSOLUTELY PSYCHED FOR PAGSIBOL 🔥🔥🔥
