MANILA, Philippines, April 8, 2026 – Kings of P-pop SB19 are bringing brave health choices into focus with AIA Philippines, showing how everyday decisions shape what being healthy really looks like.

As the newest ambassadors of AIA Philippines, the domestic arm of the largest Pan-Asian life insurer AIA, the group injects a fresh, grounded perspective into the Rethink Healthy campaign—challenging traditional notions of “health” and spotlighting the personal, everyday ways people care for their physical, mental, and financial well‑being.

Melita Teo, AIA Philippines’ President and Chief Executive Officer, shared, “As we continue to deliver on our Purpose of helping people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives, ambassadors who genuinely reflect what we stand for help us show Filipinos what healthy can look like. SB19 brings that authenticity. They show that real health is about daily choices, responsibility, and the courage to take charge of your well‑being.”

“As the biggest pop act in the country today, SB19 is a powerful voice in encouraging Filipinos to be more proactive about their health,” added Melissa Henson, Chief Marketing Officer, AIA Philippines. “They embody modern Filipino values, including being family-first, resilient, and purpose-driven. These motivations can drive better health choices among Filipinos.”

The partnership comes on the heels of AIA Philippines’ latest study, which points to a shift in mindset: Filipinos are making more intentional decisions for their well-being. The study also highlights a familiar reality: health decisions are often shaped by family, responsibility, and the need to provide.

For SB19, that tension is something they know well.

Before sold-out shows and global recognition, each member faced decisions without certainty, choosing purpose over stability, stepping outside their comfort zones, and committing to paths that didn’t always make sense at the time.

As CEO of 1Z Entertainment, the independent company he co-founded to champion Filipino artistry, group leader Pablo knows exactly what it means to take that leap. “The bravest choice I made was betting on what I truly wanted. I chased the path I believed in—even when it wasn’t the safest option—because if I didn’t, I don’t think I’d be as fulfilled as I am today.” 

For Josh, health is less about a single moment and more about how you show up consistently: “It’s really important to know how to take care of yourself… how to survive today, the next week, the next month.”

Justin’s journey came from allowing himself to explore, even when it meant stepping into something unfamiliar: “Nung college, nag-start po ako mag-explore… I wanted to perform… and that was also the most rewarding na ginawa ko.” 

For Stell, health is closely tied to emotional well-being—finding joy in what you do and sharing that with other. “Being healthy is something na happy ka sa ginagawa mo… you can do whatever you want as long as you're happy with what you're doing.”

Different paths, but the same pattern: moving from knowing what’s good for you to actually doing something about it often starts with a choice, even when you don’t feel completely ready. 

For many Filipinos, those choices don’t happen in isolation. 

AIA Philippines’ research shows that family plays a central role in shaping health decisions, with many balancing their own well-being alongside the responsibility of supporting others. For breadwinners especially, health can take on a different meaning that goes beyond routines or habits. 

That perspective resonates with Ken: “I feel secure… my parents, naibibigay ko ’yung gusto nila… wala akong masyadong iniisip… so I can say na healthy ako.” In that sense, being healthy goes beyond physical or mental well-being. It becomes about stability, peace of mind, and the ability to take care of the people who matter. 

It also points to a familiar reality of putting your own health on hold while prioritizing others.

Through its partnership with SB19, AIA Philippines brings conversations about health into everyday life, shifting the focus from chasing perfection to building healthier habits through small, consistent choices.

As a group that resonates with a generation exploring self‑expression, growth, financial independence, and mental well‑being, SB19 serves as an authentic voice in encouraging a more proactive, everyday approach to health. For the group, health isn’t about getting everything right at once. It’s about showing up—onstage, offstage, and everywhere in between—and choosing better, one meaningful step at a time.

At its core, AIA’s Rethink Healthy is about making those choices feel within reach, not perfect, not always easy, but possible. Being healthy doesn’t start with a big decision. It starts with showing up, and sometimes, that choice is the bravest one you can make.
