"Ako'y nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng sumabay sa paglalakbay (ko)."
This line perfectly captures the heartfelt emotions of SB19 during their “Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Concert Finale.”
Last April 18, thousands of A'TINs gathered at the SMDC Festival Grounds for a night filled with music, energy, and unwavering fandom for the Kings of P-pop.
The night swirled with emotion as SB19 delivered a dynamic setlist—from hard-hitting tracks like "DAM," "WHAT?," "GENTO," "VISA," and "CRIMZONE" to heartfelt songs such as "ILAW," "LIHAM," "MAPA," and "Quit."
Beyond the performances, the group made the night even more special with candid messages that resonated deeply with fans.
"To be honest, kinakabahan ako sa concert na ito kasi akala namin, akala ko, nagsawa na kayo sa amin," Ken admitted. "But when I was backstage, I kept asking the staff namin, 'Kumusta na 'yung mga tao? Madami na ba?' Then I'm so happy when pumunta kami sa stage, ang dami talaga nasa likod. Just unbelievable and definitely, 'di ko makakalimutan 'tong araw na ito."
Meanwhile, Justin reflected on the group's nearly eight-year journey and the challenges they've overcome.
"Doon ko na-realize while performing and checking 'yung mga visuals, ang layo na pala namin. Almost 8 years as an artist, and I feel like maiksi pa siya. Pero 'yung journey namin parang sobrang matagal na kasi ang daming pinagdaanan," he shared.
"We're just very thankful sa lahat sa inyo and sa lahat ng taong nakasama namin na kasama pa rin namin ngayon at siyempre 'yung 'di na namin nakasama, gusto pa rin naming pasalamatan kasi naging part sila ng journey namin."
Stell and Josh echoed the same sentiment, expressing gratitude to their loyal A'TINs.
"Every time na may concert kami, lagi lang pumapasok sa isip ko, 'Hanggang kailan kaya namin ma-experience 'yung ganito?' Marami kaming kinakatakutan. Pero knowing na nandiyan kayo sa amin, sobrang kampante kami na magiging okay ang lahat," Stell said.
Josh added, "Kayo ang nagsilbing guide din namin tuwing naliligaw kami ng landas at hindi namin alam kung tama ba 'yung tinatahak namin. Bumabalik pa rin kami sa iniisip ba't kami lumalaban, para saan ba kami."
Pablo highlighted that while the trilogy may be ending, it also marks a new beginning for the group and their fans.
"Habang tinitingnan ko 'yung album, parang ang pangit tingnan na tutuldukan mo lang. Kasi 'pag sinabing tuldok, tapos na, e," the leader stated.
"Tama naman po [na tumatanda na kami], pero 'di naman po doon natatapos ang pangarap. Hangga't nandiyan po kayo sumusuporta sa amin, 'yung mga tao na punong-puno ng passion na nandito na bumubuo ng show para lang bigyan kayo ng napakagandang at mapagmamalaking Pinoy na show, papatuloy po kami."
