SB19 levels up with celeb-packed ‘Dungka’ MV

SB19 is proving once again why they are the undisputed kings of P-pop.

The powerhouse group just released the music videos for their singles “Dungka” and “Time” — and the MV for “Dungka” in particular is a cultural spectacle and celebrity fest that reinforces their dominance in the local music scene.

Jam-packed with Filipino flavor and star power, the nearly six-minute “Dungka” MV pays homage to Pinoy culture with scenes showcasing everyday street life, from basketball, street food, and karaoke to Zumba, 10-20, activism, and even election campaigning. 

Directed by Kerbs Balagtas of YouMeUs MNL, the video bursts with vibrant energy and chaotic charm, echoing the group’s message of diversity and expression.

More than just an aesthetic triumph, “Dungka” is a statement piece — both musically and visually. The upbeat rave track, laced with witty wordplay by Pablo, plays on the Filipino phrase “doon ka” (move away), turning it into a cheeky way to shoo away negative energy or unwanted personalities. Produced by Pablo and his brother Josue under their duo RadKidz, the track also features bold rap lines by Pablo and Josh.

Cementing their star power, SB19 enlisted a who’s who of Pinoy pop culture to join the MV. Among the guest appearances were box-office superstar Vice Ganda, Maymay Entrata, Alodia Gosiengfiao, Sassa Gurl, Kween Yasmin, Smugglaz, Shehyee, Mimiyuuuh, Ben&Ben’s Pat Lasaten and Agnes Reoma, Jayat, Ghost Wrecker, and content creator Malupiton.

In contrast, the “Time” MV offers a more introspective take, staying true to SB19’s softer, emotional side. Also co-written by Pablo alongside Xerxes Bakker and Samuel Akinbode, the track highlights the group’s emotional range and lyrical depth.

Both singles are part of SB19’s third extended play (EP) Simula at Wakas, which serves as the final installment in the group’s trilogy, following 2021’s Pagsibol and 2023’s Pagtatag!.

To celebrate the release, the group will kick off their Simula at Wakas World Tour with a massive two-night show at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on 31 May and 1 June. Afterward, they will bring their music to fans across 18 cities in Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East, and North America.
