MANILA -- Aside from being on the cover of this month’s issue, PPop group SB19 also graced the annual Mega Ball at ShangriLa Hotel in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City. 

Ken, Pablo, Justin, Josh and Stell gave a moving rendition of "O Bayan Ko," a song originally composed by National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab, mashed up with the national anthem "Lupang Hinirang," composed by Julian Felipe and lyrics by Jose Palma. During their closing number, each member of the group had their own spot, singing solos. Then, they were accompanied by a hundred-member chorale.

In an interview after the ball, Pablo said it was an honor for them to sing "O Bayan Ko." Overwhelmed with the response of the guests, SB19 hoped they gave justice to the song and sent their appreciation to Cayabyab for allowing them to sing the song. 

In the past celebrations of the Mega Ball, it has been their tradition to sing ‘O Bayan Ko’ to close the event. It is their way of giving tribute and salute to the celebration of the country’s independence.

This year’s theme was “Fashion + Food” and the event showcased the talent of Filipinos, not just in fashion, but also in food. A stellar line up of chefs crafted a gastronomical treat for guests, featuring the best of Filipin dishes and delicacies - Walter Manzke, Margie Lorenzana Manzke, Chele Gonzalez, Margarita Forés, Miko Calo, Joris Rycken, Josh Boutwood, Stephen Duhesme and barman Lee Watson. 

Mega’s Editor-in-chief Peewee Reyes-Isidro said that Filipino food and fashion  are both cultural manifestations of a people’s creativity and lifestyle. 

Some of the guests include Senator Chiz Escudero and Heart Evangelista, Sarah Labhati, and Michelle Dee to name a few.
