THE Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication and NOW Group chairman Mel Velarde honored members of the P-pop powerhouse SB19 by giving them official replicas of the historic 1734 Murillo-Velarde Map. In an interview, Velarde lauded the five-member group for raising awareness about the Murillo-Velarde Map through SB19’s music video of its single “WHAT?” “SB19, with their first music video that I saw, on ‘What?’, they ended the music video with the picture of the map.
“They are a patriotic, talented, young group of artists who have the right insight, the right discipline, the right perspective. They value history, which is somehow a lesson for all the youth—looking at the past and providing a discernment to our young generation who may find history not exciting,” he added.
The map was drawn by Filipino cartographers Francisco Suarez and Nicolas de la Cruz Bagay under the supervision of Spanish Jesuit Pedro Murillo Velarde. The AIJC, NLP, and the Velarde family launched the “Mapa Natin, Kwento Natin” campaign to raise awareness of the map’s significance in shaping the nation’s identity and protecting its territorial rights.Santos, Stellvester ‘Stell’ Ajero, Philip Jhon ‘Ken’ Suson, and Justin De Dios, who compose SB 19, expressed their gratitude for being the recipients of the 1734 map.
