SB19 Pagtatag World Tour Singapore faces challenges and has to be cancelled. Fans in Singapore still gather at venue

A great setback is currently being faced by Mahalima, popularly known as SB19, as their Pagtatag world tour in Singapore had to be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.

On their official 1Z page, they mentioned that despite sparing no effort to ensure the event’s occurrence, meaning they’ve exhausted all efforts to make it happen, there are significant issues hindering their performance in SG. All ticket holders will be refunded, with the reason being the protection of the artists’ well-being, which could refer to health issues. As we know, Mahalima, Stell, Josh, Ken, Pablo, and Justin are highly and immensely professional and they aim for an excellent performance. Understandably, fans, especially those who booked flights just to see them, will be saddened. But, as they say, life is filled with ups and downs, yin and yang, and these issues are part of the necessary growth to strengthen and solidify the group, especially if they aim for greater success in the world music scene.

Despite the setbacks, these are what make Mahalima’s journey interesting. If there’s a group that we know can overcome this setback, it’s Mahalima. As long as it is God’s will and they don’t deviate from what they truly love, their bond as a group of five and the fans must never be forgotten.

As an act of support and solidarity, Mahalima fans in Singapore have decided to meet each other instead. Mahalima A’tin Singapore will gather at Capitol Theater tomorrow, November 15, inviting everyone to join and show support, no matter what. Let’s stay strong — remember, prayers move mountains. As warriors of light, let’s instead stream their songs, share them, pray steadfastly, spread the word, and encourage one another.”
