Anna Cerezo, ABS-CBN News</div>P-pop kings SB19 further raised the bar for an OPM concert experience with their “Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Concert Final,” staged late Saturday at the SMDC Festival Grounds.Presented by Live Nation Philippines, the production featured four larger-than-life stages, innovative concepts both on and beyond the stage, and a slew of surprises including fireworks displays that opened and closed the show.“If we can produce these kinds of shows, people will come to us. If makita &#x27;yan ng investors, businesses, kung ano kaya nating gawin at kung pwede silang mag-risk, they will support. Kaya talaga,” Pablo said in an interview held after the show.Having once performed in what they described as the “smallest venues,” the members grew visibly emotional as they took in the scale of their biggest show yet.“Talagang ginugol namin lahat. Sobrang huge step for us, ang laki ng risk pero worth it. May solid kaming samahan with A’TIN,” Felip explained.“Madaming emotions. There is all the pressure, nervous mag-start ng show, daming pinagdaanan para maging maganda. Deserve kasi ng audience. Nagsama-sama na siya kanina. Pero napalitan ang pagod ng pasasalamat,” Stell chimed in.The audience also included celebrities and ABS-CBN executives, including Chief Operating Officer Cory Vidanes and Digital Head Jamie Lopez, along with comedy superstar Vice Ganda.<div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FabscbnNEWS%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02Gi21rkiAuHWnS3dusHzG2VrRiVDehxtZc11TbA6Ly3iaREADYZ1rB6CjyD7Vbggml&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="698" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>SB19 added that raising the standard of OPM isn’t just about fulfilling their own dreams — it’s about creating opportunities for every Filipino.“Suntok sa buwan ang ganitong concert at venue pero pinilit namin ng team para mapatunayan namin na kaya ng Pinoy,” Stell said.“Hindi lang ito pangarap namin. Pangarap namin na pag pinagsama-sama, we can do great things. BINI nag-Coachella, kami mag-Lollapalooza,” Pablo added.SB19 is set to perform next at Lollapalooza in the United States and the Summer Sonic music festival in Japan.
