Stell will be forever our happy pill. Ken said Stell is their sunshine behind the dark clouds. Isn't that so sweet?

As a health care worker in the facility is scary, but hey, I love what I'm doing. I'm dealing with covid patients during pandemic and sad to say I got it too. Not once, not twice but four times and I'm still alive. Thank you, Lord. Who doesn't love this song, IKAKO? This is us, people. God bless SB19 for this song. More power to mahalima. We'll be waiting for more songs to come.

true..i notice also that to justine when he sing..for me he has the most clear diction among the members..its like when he prounounce the word wether its tagalog or english you can hear all the letters feels like have a invisible sub.❤❤❤

Can you imagine wearing PPE in such a hot humid country!? It was a killer, I know that feelings I work in Hospital just doing rounds with a lot of patients because that time health worker afraid to go out and work..Health worker so proud of you! Mabuhay ❤

Whoah! The Making of Ikako slipped throuh the cracks for me. It's beyond interesting to see Pablo's process of writing a song... a peek into a genius 😎👍🏻🌭⚠️

When SB19 goes viral it was late 2019. They supposed to have 10 concerts to 10 cities in the Philippines. But, they only finished 3 or 4, due to the lockdown. It was frustrating for them at first, but it didn't stop them. They came up with these online content and entertain most of us, when they released IKAKO, short for ikaw at ako, means You and Me, a lot of us felt uplifted during the dark times, when you can't even go out to eat, when you buy your groceries, you have to go like 5am to fall in line, since they only allow a few people inside the grocery. It was really hard then and SB19 made it less harder.

Wow yung process ng pagbuo nya ng kanta im so happy na pinakita nila ito,sana yung ibang kanta din.. so proud sayo Pinuno

Pablo is such a gem honestly I love him and his mind so much Ken has a lot of unreleased ballads. He posts snippets of it on his instagram story and he's been making them since 2020 but has not released it yet

Everytime I see this I break down. The memory of my brother not able to make it due to covid breaks me into pieces again. How I wish he heard this song. Also during these times that I learned to love SB19 because truly they took me out of the darkest moment of my life.😢😢😢😢😢😢

Pablo a genius. He can do anything. Amazing talent. ❤❤❤Pablo ❤❤❤SB19

I love how they showed the process. Pablo did say he wasn't a genius, but is a hardworker. I believe he is both❤ and the way the members practiced to give their all for this amazing song❤

Hurraira you are right Justin sounds posh. He is the rich kid in the group and one SB19 mom said ( I cant remember if Stell’s mom) that he adjusted to not buy anything the others cant afford. That’s how he loves his brothers. He even shared clothes with them (mostly Pablo’s) and construction boots when he can afford to buy good ones.

Yeah tagalog has accents... there are regional ones like batangas, cavite, and bulacan as compared to manila, and also the accent of the people whose first language is not tagalog. The most observable difference is how often one utilizes the e and o sounds over the i and u sounds. Then within manila you have accents that relate to how well one speaks english... and how often does one utilize taglish. Fun fact: it is rare nowadays to find a person who speaks pure tagalog. Everybody uses taglish now in everyday conversation.

I think you will appreciate that when they sang this on TM Doble Dekada, Pablo on the spot gave one of his parts to Josh and just watched him proudly sing it :)

What a beautiful song written by a beautiful person, sung by a beautiful group with a beautiful brotherhood... what can else can i say??? Just LOVELY!😅😅😅❤

i remember how happy i was that sejun/ pablo had a computer during lockdown. Weeks before lockdown (xmas, prolly) , when asked in an interview what he wanted as a gift, he said timidly, "computer po" (for making music). I was

Stell's burp is one of his talents lol 😂 I don't know why it makes me very pleased when he does that😊😊

I would also love to see more of Pablo’s song writing process. I’d love to be his guitar.😂❤❤❤

This song is very meaningful it reminds us of our own journey during those trying times and how we get to be strong since there's no other option to survive. SB19 Ikako proved that in any wich way they can help people by making such inspirational music or song like this. Thank you for letting us reminise this song with you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I think this was pandemic time most people are quarantine at home. Yet they were still productive in those times and got more time just being at home.

The pandemic was one of the worst times ever but it also produced a lot of gems. I don't think we would have something like the Ikako diaries if they were not forced to isolate. And the bts of Pablo composing it and the members adding their voices to it is a rare glimpse into how the sb19 magic is made. Imagine if we could have that for all the songs? Ikako on Wish Bus is fun too. The rap parts are not on the MVs. But it is a great addition.

SB19 IS TRULY ONE OF A KIND...

Unrelated to Ikako but I just want to highlight what Josh can accomplish once put his mind into it. I was so impressed with his piano playing considering it's his 1st piece. He doesn't know how to read notes, so this is purely Oido (by ear) and he learned this in 3 days. Enjoy! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7ykiM1ks8C8m3k.html

Ikako is one of my most favourite song from them. In fairness, I do love all their song and couldn’t rank them no matter how hard I try😂. But the uplifting message of this song brings me so much joy, hope and strength. Pablo and his writing process is simply GOLD! Love reminiscing with you Hurraira ❤❤❤ BTW the MV is also sooo good, I love their creativity on getting the MV done during covid time.💙💙💙💙💙

Yes! Even Tagalog has different accents. Cavite, where Pablo is from has a more forceful pronunciation. Malabon, the hometown of Justin is more softer in tone and since it’s closer to Bulacan, they also have deeper tagalog words. Accent really depends where you are from. Even other languages here in the provinces have different accents and more noticeable when they speak tagalog. The Philippines is complex in more ways than one. 😊

As you now know, Tagalog or Filipino, is our national language. But the Philippines has more than 170 languages and we have regional accents. People speak a different language depending on what province you are from. Even in places where Tagalog is widely spoken, you can distinguish the origin by the accent, i.e., Batangas Tagalog is different from Bulacan or Cavite Tagalog. We also have words spelled the same but spoken differently, giving it different meanings. The conjugation of verbs are somewhat mind-boggling.

They do love each other eh? Very apparent and palpable with each of their interactions and performances ❤

❤❤❤SB19 All their songs are amazing with really good message

We can see how talented they are. Pablo as a leader he's deserving❤❤❤

Josh said he vocalize everyday. Ha has come a long, long way when it comes to his singing ability. Their former vocal coach said that among all of them, he is most proud of the progress Josh has made.

I tried looking from your channel and was surpised that IKAKO from the Wish Bus wasn't there. Another nice IKAKO performance was from BYE 2020 (All performances there were some of my favorites). They also had a simple MV for this. I missed this baby version of SB19. The bony facial features of Stell and the crooked lower teeth. But some things never changed in him: fixing his hair to no end. I'm starting to think it's a gemini thing coz I've been with geminis and they do this all the time. They even said I'm allowed to ruin their lives, but definitely not their hair. 😅😅😅

Strangely enough, their performances with Acer always has exceptional audio quality. I do hope you go through that performance and the other Acer ones as well! I’ve always thought that SB19 is the serendipity of five exceptionally gifted men that bonded together. They will be unstoppable.

Stell has always been fixing his hair even to this day 😅... His Co coach in the voice generations jokingly said how can he can he coach when he is busy fixing his hair. They re just kidding of course because almost all contestants want to be coached by Stell

Sit at the foot of Pablo’s bed, witness him do this in person. I pick this 😊 Rewatching just because 🥰

Yes there are accents of Tagalog depending what region you come from, and even within Manila, there are like the 'socialite' accents that I really don't care for. Not sure what accent Justin has but when he speaks English, he has the strongest Filipino accent compared to the other 4. Ken has a slight Bisaya accent when he speaks Tagalog.

Pablo was really whacked by Day 4. I don't know what to feel. He looked so tired. But the outcome is all worth it.

the first ever LIVE performance of IKAKO was the during the PhilKorFest2020: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftqTndepvZ6RkaM.html, and their first time being together after extended lockdown that's why they were so hyper active & chaotic here and I loved it. They also had a WishBus performance of IKAKO which was one of my all time fave and another version of this on the BYE2020 perf:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qptlYN2E0tHXg40.html (@3:00 of the perf it says: "I 'd like to be with you, as long as I'm alive. My earnest wish, IF possible, that you won't be gone. I WILL be there for you, will face the battle together...forever. You are not alone.") this heart-warming lyrics from Pablo made many cry and I'm one of those. During pandemic were horrible times for me & my family and these words are exactly my earnest prayers for my elderly parents, unfortunately lost my Mom to covid she contracted it while confined in the hospital as a diabetic patient, shortly after lost my brother from aneurysm & before the same year ends my Dad were gone too, perhaps he was not able to take the pain that the love of his life and his first born were gone too soon. So listening to IKAKO always bitter sweet for me, can't help not to cry again. You know with SB19 no performance are the same with the other no matter how many times they will perform any of their songs we can be sure there's something amazing to look forward to. So enjoy watching them on your own or in one of your future RV Hurraira!

I love pablo !!!all of them ❤❤❤

m so grateful to you Hurraira youre one of my fav🥰🥰🥰

This is one o f my favorite song from them alongside w/ Ligaya and SLMT. 😍😍😍😍

Yayyyyy!❤ been waiting for your reaction on this.. thank you!💕 9:30-9:40 This always gets me laughing when he said “saging” = banana, “kuliglig” = cricket and “sisig” = a Filipino dish made from different parts of the pig.. 😂 I love Pablo’s beautiful mind and yes, I wish he did the same for Ilaw or Liham too 🥹💜

Josh, was trying not to cry , coz’ it is pandemic!! He was feeling it!!

thanks for sharing this with us! I just remembered, have you seen the behind the scenes of Felip's Bulan and Palayo/Josh's Wild Tonight in their channels? If you haven't yet please do, I think you're gonna enjoy that 😆 Josh also just released the MV for Sofa remix and SB19's busking perf for GENTO on Hollywood Blvd just dropped today on Myx Global's channel 😊

This song healed me wayback pandemic days❤ Love you SB19

SB19 will going to Indonesia for ASEAN KOREA MUSIC FESTIVAL this October

❤i am still mesmerized how he could come up with a nice song ❤pablo❤

I love all of them but just been trough a lot so have so much respect for him.❤❤❤

Amazing! How did you find these treasure?!! I haven't even seen these practice videos and Ikako diaries! Great job here, Hurraira! So happy to have watched this with you. Great content, great commentaries.

Pablo is really the genius and we love him ...thanks for reacting to this video , more power to your channel ❤️❤️❤️

Yes, Tagalog has accents and it varies from neighboring provinces. Some canneven sound melodic while others are fiery. Justin is on the city, while Pablo has that town accent

Wish bus and BYE2020 my most favorite IKAKO performances

Thanks for finally reacting to Pablo’s songwriting process. What I’d give to be a fly on his wall 😂 When i first saw this I must’ve reviewed it 100x. I was so fascinated 😅 Now about accents within the Tagalog speaking world. Yes, there are differences. Those who study at exclusive schools develop a certain accent and affectation- think valley girl speak. You can also tell when people are from less affluent backgrounds. Sometimes it’s the use of certain words that is the dead giveaway. Justin is very polite of speech so this tells a lot about his background. I’m not sure if posh would be the right adjective but he is definitely not from an underprivileged world. Pablo would be the one with the best knowledge of Tagalog because he is from Cavite. Ken would be the one who speaks with a marker accent in Tagalog as it is not his native tongue. Josh may have had some tough times but his accent is still refined which must be because he didn’t come from a poor family it seems. It’s just that they fell into hard times.

This is the first time seeing this. It is so nice to watch this with you. Good thing these were all recorded.

IKAKO diaries ❤

Hurraira, I would rather sit at the foot of his bed! I'll pay top money just to watch him, pick his brain in the process.😅 Justin has the " rich kid" accent! That is not a knock on him and all the other kids lijke him. He went to a private school/university(💲💲💲) and most of these schools back home develop an accent, a way of talking so that one can be identified an alumni of that school by the way they talk!😅Justin doesn't come off as a 'Rich Kid"-this is what I like about him This song hit my heart, remembering a lot of my colleagues in the Philippines getting sick with some even passing away (needlessly, I say!) I think Stell has the most beautiful jawline! and the most beautiful voice. That 'burp' did it for me! SB 19 is so worth it to stan!!!

Thank you Hurraira for this reaction video this reminds me of how everyone suffered from COVID-19 😢😢😢 thanks to SB19 for this beautiful positive vibe song.❤

this acer live is one of my fave performance of sb19 because as u've said, i can clearly hear their individual voices ..❤

yes, we do have different accents in Tagalog. there's a Batangueño accent, which people from the province of Batangas have. there are many instances where stell tried to copy their accent 😆 if my memory serves me right, he did it in his scuba diving vlog while they were on their way to Batangas and he also did it when he got mad (jokingly) in their mapa artwork showbreak episode 😂

Hi Pretty Lady...thank you for supporting our SB19 boys😊

Wow eto pala yung original ni Pablo , ang galing galing nmn

IKAKO🍓🥰

Thank you hurraira for this videos. Ung I am a new a'tin, kya super happy to see this video never heard before. Thank you so much. I love our boys SB19. Praying for more success sa career nila. Proud of them so much. Mahalima❤❤❤❤❤

In one of Ken's interview when puberty hits and his voice changed he stop singing for awhile. Then later on he found friends who sing and they got into those songs that is click to girls so that would probably when the R&B interest started. But when he got into dancing he enjoyed it more than singing. So they were basically all dancers most had background in singing except Josh and Justin. The training made them a well rounded performer not just as singer dancer but alao a bit of acting. The humor of course is all them a pinoy imprint😊 By the way the accent just for the tagalog alone is like American english, British and Irish accents. Josh and Justin would be the city boy accent, Pablo would be the general sound of tagalog region, Stell sometimes do batangueño accent while Ken sometimes have that heavy accent from down south but could also be soft and melodious (malambing) when he woo somebody.

I would rather watch him in the process of creating songs. I feel like I can get to witness an intimate connection of the song writer and the song itself and I can get a deeper personal interaction while his making it. ❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤

Had fun watching their journey with you! Thanx a lot for loving Boyz ❤

One if my fav sb19 song

Brilliant Pablo

They made a song with an uplifting message that they themselves needed to hear and that they wanted to cheer others on with. 9:28 he was trying different stuff. Finding a rhyme to pag-ibig (love) blurted out saging (banana) then mumbled kuliglig (cricket), sisig (the food) 😅

I’ve been waiting for this reaction from you forever! So, so happy you finally got around to it. I love this glimpse into Pablos’s writing process. ❤❤❤ Pablo going through what rhymed with “ibig” (want): pag-ibig (love), kuliglig (cicada), sisig (a local dish)😅. And I just noticed the Mongol pencil 😂

Oh i loved this so much. Such a gem of a find. I have been daily watching videos about them for a month now but haven't come across this gem yet. I loved the process from beginning and what the end result was and even their updated version (with rap). I remember in newer interviews when Pablo said he'd get eventually irritated with hearing just his voice singing them all the time. But he's surely great at assigning who will sing which lines and their individual takes. Thank you for this. Love discovering them more through you. 😊😊

I just love this video so much! I really love the dynamic of their voices together! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

Each has their own part how to sing their part. Each is following the leader’s singing Part of their part. By Pablo first.

This is a great video.. it was really fun to watch.. I almost bawled my eyes when I see Josh like this.. he definitely looks like my late fiancé that I can't watch videos of him so I just watch it through reaction videos.. 😔

Pablo is an amazing person!

You can distinguised if filipino is speaking coz our language is very popular all over the world. Our language is sexy❤

👍👍👍💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰

You should check out their anniversary series. The boys were actually acting and they were very natural. I thought Ken did very well in his episode.

about the language: YES. Filipino also has variety of accents depending on provinces and regions. Even on Region 4, where majority are Filipino and Tagalog speakers, they have different Filipino and Tagalog accents. those from Southern Tagalog accents are closer to Visayan Region Filipino accents. Northern Tagalog REgion speaks Filipino fluently and smoother... Filipino speakers in Manila (Metro Manila or National Capital Region) are more slanged, mixes of Filipino and English and other colloquials.

Big thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

I want access to Pablo's notebook there.

IKAKO WISH BUS PERFORMANCE Pls. !!!

done with work...chill time with you begins 🤩

Justin's line means "I always pray for your safety, and that sadness in your eyes will cease." I think that translation was auto-google, there's no "freedom won't be abolished" in the song. the translation got muddled because of the cut in the singing.

I am your new sub with your SB 19 feature. Love them. More please/

The Philippines has hundreds of language and yes, Tagalog has different accents based on location. The Juans are from bulacan who uses tagalog but with a completely different accent. And Pablo's tagalog ( he is from Cavite) is different from the tagalog in Metro Manila as well. Best example of this is Gento which he explained is common to them but as a person from Metro Manila, we pronounce it as Gan'to short for Ganito.

YESS YOU FOUND IT!

i'd say, we do have accents in tagalog depending on the person, their place or mothertongue are the usual factor of the differences. when it comes to enunciation however, i think it differs per person. and yes, i also noticed justin is really good at enunciating words that makes his tagalog sound really clear cause that's just how he enunciate words.

❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Every region in philippines has different accent when speaking their own language or dialect and when speaking tagalog

Like which artist would write a song for frontliners during pandemic? No one but SB19! And it's a great song as well. 🫶

🥰

Stell will not have 2 Million TikTok Followers n other followers in his other social media platforms for nothing😊

😇

I don't know if you notice, the first version of Ikako, they do not have rap part and the last verse, it's shorter. The final version that was included in their Pagsibol EP is the last video that they performed during Acer Jam has rap and included the last verse with strings, making it more emotional.

If you heard the harmonies and adlibs in Sejun Version, that his youngest sister Denise and younger brother josue

Pablo hyping his self 😂.

I don't think you watched the Wish Bus performance - you watched another one (that I recommended lol). They sounded really good on the Wish Bus too, though! They did it the same day that they did Hanggang Sa Huli.

Filipino language or Tagalog as the national language really has no accent. The #1 rule in reading Tagalog is: HOW YOU READ IT, IS HOW YOU PRONOUNCE IT... follow the A, Ba, Ka, Da....the Filipino alphabet, where a's were pronounced as A in Apple. But accent varies if it is spoken by natives from other region. Then Tagalog will have a distinct accent when it is spoken by them.

Hi Hurraira! Apr 6 is also very special to me! Weeeh! I hope Stell does release a solo song - for you! lol! Thanks for your RV on this, I always feel that I get to enjoy these videos more when I watch em with you. I have the biggest admiration for Pablo and his beautiful mind. There's also a compilation of when he sang requests from fans during his FB live 3 years ago- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zqp-aNqkua6lhGg.html You will for sure enjoy this one! Gawwwd, I have the biggest crush on this boy 🤣
