PCD (Post-concert depression) is real for local celebrities and personalities who attended the two-day shows of SB19’s Simula at Wakas concert held on May 31 and June 1 at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.

 Former MYX VJ and host Ai Dela Cruz shared her favorite moments from the show in a heartfelt Instagram post, highlighting 10 things she loved about the concert.

 “1. The lyrics on-screen for every song. Simple but brilliant. Very Pinoy-coded. 🇵🇭 2. That David Blaine moment in the opening. Pang-Pilipinas Got Talent yung magic HAHA. Swipe to see what I mean. 3. Live band + new song arrangements + new riffs. Binali yung songs pero hindi OA. Saktong kulot at extra challenge lang. Sarap sa tenga nung mga bali. 4. The art behind every detail. The storytelling. The raw emotions. Nakakabuhay ng creative juices makanood ng show na pinag-isipan lahat. 5. Organized scanning of tickets, pagpasok, at distribution of LED wristbands, which made the arena more beautiful. Naingatan ang fan experience,” Ai wrote, commending the concert experience.

 She continued praising the visual direction, creative concepts, and how fellow fans and celebrities alike showed up in full force.

 “Seeing all the artists from different fields who fangirled/fanboyed and came just to watch SB19. Hindi nabibili ang respeto ng co-artists at colleagues sa industriya. Them traveling all the way to the Philippine Arena just to support SB19 speaks volumes,” she said.

She went on: “7. Visual control. The effects were wisely placed. It was calm and quiet at times, and wild and vibrant when needed. Hindi nakakapagod sa mata. May pahinga. 8. All the cuteness! The pink and black outfits. The giant crab. The colorful inflatables! It’s giving Coldplay. Umabot sa section namin, ang saya.” 

 “9. The sold-out crowd. The fan projects. That A’TIN solidarity and discipline. Tumatalon pag party mode. Tumatahimik pag soft hours. Nando-dogshow when the situation calls for it. Naglilinis ng paligid after the show. 10. The 'MADE IN THE PHILIPPINES' statement in the end-credits. 🇵🇭”

 Ai then congratulated the group and the production team for mounting a memorable concert made by Filipino artists.

 “Congratulations to @officialsb19 and everyone behind this historic world tour kick-off! One for the books 🙌 This is my favorite work of yours to-date, Direk @paolovalenciano! Lalo na naman po akong naging fan 😍 Wanted to say hi to you and Direk @nicofaustino but sa laki ng PH Arena, di na ako umabot maglakad nung pa-start na 😭 But congrats to your whole team!” she said.

 Celebrity cosplayer and content creator Alodia Gosiengfiao also shared her excitement after attending the show.

 “What an epic night! ❤️‍🔥 Huge congratulations to @officialsb19 and @1zentertainment.ph! 🥹 So happy to witness such a historic moment. The production, the energy, and the overwhelming love from A’TIN — truly inspiring in every way! #sawworldtour #sawworldtourph,” he expressed.

 She also praised the A’TIN fandom, saying, “A'tin... grabeeeee! Two sold-out nights sa Philippine Arena! But more than the dami - I just want to express how I love being with you, watching the boys. Dahil every time I'm in the crowd with all the A'tin - I feel like I am part of one big, happy and emotional family.”

 Actress Empress Shuck also took pride in supporting Filipino talent and being a fan of the group.

 “I don’t easily become a fan of groups, I’m just selective about who i idolize, kasi ang gastos eh!😂 Ofcourse, K-pop is amazing, but I take pride in supporting Pinoy talent at kahit anong gawang Pinoy!🥹 Nothing beats loving your own🇵🇭 And @officialsb19 is truly worth supporting. Their hard work and attitude are super inspiring,” she said.

 “The SAW concert, wala. Mas international pa sa ibang mga international in ALL aspects. Peeeriodt. 🙌🏼👏🏼 #sb19 #saw #sawconcertkickoff,” she added.

 It's Showtime Online U host and singer Sheena Belarmino called her experience a dream come true.

 “1st concert ko sana ang PAGTATAG WORLD TOUR CONCERT nila, but wasn't able to attend due to a personal ganap... so nag-pray nang malala si inday na sana magcoconcert pa sila🥺 2025, nag-announce ng SIMULA AT WAKAS CONCERT sa Philippine Arena, nakaabang na me ng tickets for Day 1, kaso sold out🥺 tapos nag-announce ng Day 2🤗 sumaya si inday,” she recalled.
