Have you ever heard of the phrase: family doesn't end with blood?
Sometimes we think we are bound with the family we are born into, and maybe we are but we can also choose our family. The reality is, this world has a funny way of beating us when we're down, and sometimes the family we think we can count on is the one who would let us down badly. Many of us think that when we get to this point, there's no one left for us to turn to, but we're wrong. Every person in our life who would walk through hell with us is family. They are the ones who would sit with us and listen to our sorrows without judgment.

During their interview with Vice Ganda, they were asked if they love each other, and PABLO quickly answered this. It was a testament that no matter how hard things get, they will always choose one another. It's the assurance that wherever their careers lead them, they will always choose to end up with one another. There is nothing more beautiful than the love you choose rather than the love the world forces upon you. They are not related by blood but they choose to call each other brothers because of the bond they've built with one another.
At the height of the issue that Felip was about to leave the group, he said in an interview in Doughbrock that he will die as SB19 member. When asked, Stell said he would never exchange his brothers for awards and recognitions, and Justin said that they locked themselves with each other by building 1z Entertainment. During one of their WishBus performances, the group was asked where or how do they see themselves in 5 years, and Josh confidently said "still together". Recently, PABLO was interviewed in The Ripple and he said that the people he is with our not expendables. They are worth adjusting or changing his attitude and ways of handling things.
Throughout the music industry, there are only a few groups that truly became families and loved each other. Some even admitted that they are in a group together but are not friends. In fact, it's not really a responsibility to be friends with one another, as long as they can work well with each other. It's actually rare for a group of people with different personalities to get along for a long time, and even rarer if they stay together. It's the one Achilles heel of a group that is truly hard to remedy, but look at them. About eight years after and still together.
They've always said that their relationship with each other is never perfect, but they always find a way to make it work. They proved that it always comes down to a choice. No matter what happens, they always choose to look at everything they've built and gone through over the years. They are the family that each other have built and kept. Now, it's not just the five of them. They have an entire company—no a bigger family behind them. The love that five men have for each other welcomed more people in and created something beautiful.
Before this year ends, let us all appreciate the genuine love that Pablo, Josh, Stell, Felip, and Justin have for each other. It is rare and we are all lucky to witness it in this lifetime.
