Composed of John Paulo B. Nase (Pablo), Josh Cullen A. Santos (Josh), Stellvester Q. Ajero (Stell), Felip Jhon D. Suson (Ken) and Justin T. De Dios (Justin), SB19 was chosen to be the NCCA Youth Ambassadors and face of Sentro Rizal not only because of their growing fanbase and influence in the local and international scenes, but also of their willingness to support the NCCA’s mandate to promote Philippine arts and culture worldwide.
