The text below was written by a university professor in Taiwan. 【Following My Daughter Into Fandom, and Rethinking Life Through SB19’s Music】 As my daughter shifted her attention from BLACKPINK to SB19, I gradually became a fan as well. During a break in one of my radio programs, the host asked me to request a song. Without hesitation, I chose SB19’s [GENTO]. To my surprise, several young staff members had to pull out their phones and search for it before they knew what song it was. In fact, SB19 already has some recognition in Taiwan. They even collaborated with Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai on the song [Emoji]. SB19 is a Filipino boy group, compared with BLACKPINK, the best news for me is that both concert tickets and merch are more affordable. Today, I accompanied my daughter to Stell’s birthday café event. The venue was filled entirely with young women, and quite a few Filipino fans were chatting in English. Seeing people from different countries gather together because of the same idol was a refreshing experience for me. SB19’s songs played continuously on the screen. The melodies I had often heard while driving, today I finally had the chance to pay attention to what the lyrics were saying. My favorite song is [GENTO]. “Gento” means “gold.” The song is not about success falling from the sky; it's about how gold must endure intense heat and repeated forging before it can shine. Another song I love is [DAM]. If [GENTO] talks about how to become gold, then DAM raises an more interesting question: What does it feel like after you’ve finally become gold? Several lines of the lyrics left a deep impression on me: “What does it feel like?” (Anong pakiramdam?) “All of this is my own choice.” (Kasalanan ko lahat ng ’to.) “Because I never stopped yearning.” (’Lang humpay sa paggusto.) “Having reached the limit, how do I surpass myself?” (Paano ba higitan ang sagad na?) These lyrics seemingly describe the pursuit of success. But upon deeper reflection, they feel like a condensation of an entire life: desire, choice, effort, and the challenge of surpassing oneself. “All of this is my own choice.” Many people prefer to blame life’s disappointments on family, society, luck, even the times they live in. However, when a person is willing to admit “This is my choice”, they are also embracing freedom and accepting responsibility. Freedom is not doing whatever you want. Freedom is being willing to accept the consequences of your choices. If you choose to study, you must accept loneliness. If you choose to start a business, you must accept risk. If you choose to pursue a dream, you must accept the possibility of failure. It is precisely why freedom is valuable. But why do people make these choices? The lyrics offer an answer: “Because I have never stopped yearning.” Human beings are creatures driven by will. We are always pursuing something. After getting into an ideal school, we want an ideal job. After finding an ideal job, we want greater achievements. Once we reach a goal, we begin chasing the next one. Desire never truly stops. From this perspective, the greatest driving force in life might not be satisfaction, but rather an ever-present sense of insufficiency. Because of insufficiency, we move forward; Because of desire, we grow. To be honest, if it were me a few years ago, I would never have imagined that one day I would be sitting in an idol's birthday cafe. Around me were young girls. Some chatted in English, others spoke Tagalog. The walls were filled with Stell’s photos, SB19’s songs played in the background, I sat there drinking coffee and reflecting on the lyrics. If not for my daughter, I wouldn't know this group,even reflecting on life through these songs. Many interesting things in life happen just like this. We think we are accompanying someone, only to discover that they are actually leading us into a world we would never step into. What happens after reaching the limits we set for ourselves? The lyrics raise another profound question: “Having reached the limit, how do I surpass myself?” Many people think surpassing yourself means defeating others. It doesn’t. The real challenge is surpassing the person you were. The "yesterday self" was afraid to express an opinion, are you braver today? The "yesterday self" was easily ruled by emotions, are you more rational today? The "yesterday self" cared only about benefit, have you begun to think about values? This kind of breakthrough receives no applause, no medals, no rankings. But it’s often more difficult than defeating someone else. The song doesn't give an answer, it keeps returning to the same question: “What does it feel like?” It sounds like a question about success on the surface. But perhaps it is really a question about life itself. When you’ve worked tirelessly for years and finally achieved your dream, what does it feel like? When you realize that achieving your dream is not as satisfying as you imagined, what does it feel like? When you understand that life has no final destination, yet you still choose to keep moving forward, what does it feel like? The meaning of life doesn't always lie in reaching an endpoint, but perhaps within every single step forward. Maybe [DAM] is not really asking about the taste of success, maybe it is asking: When a person knows there are no permanent answers, yet still chooses to keep searching… When a person knows that every endpoint leads to another starting point, yet still runs with all their heart… When a person knows that desire will never truly end, yet still embraces life… What does that feel like? Perhaps the question itself is the answer. The day after tomorrow is Stell’s 31st birthday. Because of my daughter, I went from not knowing who SB19 was at all, to requesting [GENTO] on a radio show, to sitting in a birthday café today surrounded by people from different countries speaking different languages, all celebrating his birthday. Maybe that is what makes life so interesting. We think we are simply accompanying our kids in chasing idols, only to find ourselves stepping into an entirely new world. We think we are listening to a pop song, only to discover questions about freedom, desire, and growth hidden within the lyrics. And those questions do not have standard answers. Just like the question repeated throughout [DAM]: “What does it feel like?” Perhaps what matters has never been the answer, but remaining curious at every stage of life, being willing to keep moving forward, being willing to see a larger world for the ones we love. When they were little, we held our kid’s hands to show them the world. . Later, we realize that sometimes it's the children holding our hands, leading us into places we never would have stepped into otherwise. Stell’s birthday café is one example, SB19’s music is another, life itself is no different. I thought I was simply accompanying my daughter in her fandom, I realized that she was introducing me to another world in the end. Happy Birthday, Stell. And thank you, my daughter. Because she helped me understand that one of life’s greatest joys is not finding answers, but discovering new landscapes together with the people we love. Those landscapes are not only part of our children’s growth, they are also part of our own journey of rediscovering the world. @SB19Official @1zentertainment @stellajero_ #SB19 #Stell #Fandom Original Link: facebook.com/share/p/1Gm8emX…

Lahat naparusahan bukod sa Ateneo. What did Bamboo say? Ang hustisiya para lang sa mayaman?

HOY !!!!!!!!!

FACE THE MEDIA. NOW.

So according to Bobets mom wala mn lang daw staff from ADMU na nag assist sa patay na katawan ng bata at kung di pa pumunta ang Tita ni Bobet ng Manila di mn lang makita ng mama ni Bobet ang patay na katawan neto. Yung inis ko sa inyo ADMU!

Imagine sending your child off at the airport with hopes of a brighter future, only to see him again days later at the same airport—not to welcome him home, but to receive his lifeless body. Unbelievable. Heartbreaking.

Wdym Ateneo released the statement first BEFORE informing the family of the deceased in private? Napakasahol. The victims and their families deserve better.

You know what’s insensitive? Former Ateneo players being defensive of the institution when people are clamoring for accountability; when the families of the victims are saying they are being kept in the dark. That’s what is insensitive. Nobody asked their piece.

The message of Rene’s mother to Tab Baldwin and Ateneo: “Isa lang ang masasabi ko: BAKIT? Kung isinama ninyo kami sa pag-uusap at ipinaalam ninyo sa amin na may ganoon palang uri ng training, kahit mahirap lang kami, hindi ko papayagang sumali roon ang anak ko. Hindi biro ang lahat ng pagsisikap at sakripisyo ng anak ko, tapos ganito na lang ba ang mangyayari sa kanya? Hanggang ngayon, wala pa ring malinaw at tamang sagot kung bakit nangyari ito. Sana ay masagot ninyo ang lahat ng aming mga tanong at mabigyan kami ng katotohanan at paliwanag na matagal na naming hinihintay. Hindi ko pa nakita ang katawan ng anak ko hanggang ngayon. Wala pa silang ibinigay na larawan o video sa akin. Kung totoo na talagang wala na ang anak ko at hindi ko rin alam kung nasaan siya. Napakahirap kapag mahirap ka dahil hindi ka basta-basta makakapunta kung saan-saan para maghanap ng mga sagot. Sino ba ang lalapitan ko? Saan ba ako pupunta upang mabigyan ng malinaw na sagot at malaman ang totoong nangyari sa anak ko?” 💔

As a former student journalist who has colleagues in the media, I find this statement incredibly appalling and insulting. The Philippines is one of the most dangerous places for journalists worldwide. When a senator tags media as "bayaran", he not only discredits the truth, he legitimizes the attack on the very people who can tell the story. These journalists were the ones caught in the fire during the Senate shooting. And in this desperate attempt to gain sympathy, they attacked the media instead. Nakarinig na ba tayo ng paumanhin mula sa kanila? Hindi rin kasalanan ng media na hindi kayo sumipot for 3 days so paano kayo tatanungin di ba? Hindi rin naman nagpapa-presscon si Cayetano. Now, ask yourself, sinong may kasalanan bakit wala kayo sa coverage. Hindi pwedeng maging puppet niyo lang ang mga mamamahayag. Just because the news is not favorable to you doesn't mean na "bayaran" na sila. Maybe start by looking at what's wrong with you first. The reality is simple eh: ayaw niyong maging subject to questions so you opt to FB lives and attacks on the media. Tutal nasa usapang bayaran tayo. Kayo? Bakit hindi kayo pumasok ng tatlong araw sa Senado? Hindi ba at binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan para gawin ang tungkulin ninyo?

Tangina ng tulfo brothers sobrang iniinis si APC i love it hahaha
